Lead Electronics Engineer in England

Sen's vision is to democratize space using video, to inform, educate, inspire and benefit all humanity. Sen's mission is to stream real-time videos from space to billions of people, providing unique perspectives of our ever-changing world and future in space. We have already deployed our first video cameras in Low Earth Orbit and are now scaling our systems. Sen's cameras will be deployed on both our own satellites and as hosted payloads on other spacecraft to capture the maximum number of perspectives of what's happening on Earth and in space, including deploying video cameras on and around the Moon and later Mars, providing multi-world data.

Responsibilities:

• Work closely within a small multidisciplinary team to develop and own new sub-systems and PCB assemblies from concept through to flight.
• Lead electronic design of analogue and digital circuits to support high resolution video camera systems including power supplies, data/control interfaces, microcontrollers, image sensors, FPGAs, flash storage, memory and high-speed serial links.
• Perform component selection, analysis, simulation, prototyping, schematic capture, board layout, bring-up, debug, test and verification.
• Coordinate fabrication and assembly as well as environmental and electromagnetic test and qualification of electronic prototypes and flight hardware with external subcontractors.
• Produce and maintain design documentation, assembly/test instructions and reports.

Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical or electronics engineering or other relevant field.
• 7+ years of electronic design experience from concept through to production.
• Strong proficiency with electronics design, layout and simulation CAD.
• Experience with hardware debugging at a circuit level and electronic test equipment.
• Familiarity with systems designed for high reliability or harsh environments in automotive, aerospace, defence or other industries favoured but not required.
• Knowledge of interfaces and circuit elements: I2C, SPI, RS422, Ethernet, MIPI/CSI-2, LVDS, USB, PCIe, SMPS, LDO, Current Monitoring, MOSFETs and power switching.
• Understanding of computers and basic programming experience.
• Excellent written/verbal communication skills.

Working Arrangements and Benefits:

• 40 hours per week minimum.
• Pension: in addition to the legally required salary sacrifice that each employee makes, Sen pays an amount equal to 6% of salary into the employee's pension.

• We support flexible and remote working for tasks that can be performed effectively from home, provided team members have a suitable setup. However, many aspects of this role involve equipment and facilities in our central London lab. On-site attendance is required when tasks demand it and all team members are expected to work from the lab during critical project periods.
