Why LeoLabs?
At LeoLabs, we’re building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions.
We’re not just building technology, we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and threats grow more complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Satellite Operations for top-tier space operators and allied defense organizations.
If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the forefront of aerospace, national security, and AI, your impact starts here.
As an Electrical Engineer, you will help design and develop the electronics that power our next-generation radar systems. You will contribute to board-level hardware development across mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics, supporting designs from initial requirements through prototype bring-up, validation, and production.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys solving technical problems, working in the laboratory, and collaborating with experienced engineers to build reliable hardware that moves quickly from development into the field.
This position is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and is full-time onsite at our Menlo Park Facility. You will work closely with LeoLabs' RF, mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and systems engineers to develop and integrate advanced radar hardware.
You will be responsible for:
Design and develop PCBAs and electrical subsystems for next-generation radar hardware
Translate defined system and subsystem requirements into schematics and board-level designs
Support PCB layout and perform design checks under the guidance of senior engineers
Contribute to designs of mixed-signal, power, timing, and control electronics for demanding operating environments
Perform hardware bring-up, laboratory testing, debugging, and electrical validation
Analyze test results and assist with identifying and resolving hardware design issues
Work closely with RF, mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and systems engineers to integrate complete hardware systems
Participate in design reviews and incorporate technical feedback into assigned designs
Support design reviews, prototype builds, manufacturing transition, and deployment activities
Develop engineering tools, test software, and laboratory automation using Python where appropriate
Create and maintain design documentation, test procedures, and test reports
Contribute to the continuous improvement of electrical design and laboratory practices
