High-Speed Digital PCB Design Engineer - Internet Service Provider

Ready for your next career move? Join a global space and satellite solutions provider delivering resilient connectivity and high-quality services through integrated satellite systems and a worldwide network. The company supports governments, businesses, and communities with advanced space technology and industry expertise. The company is looking for a High-Speed Digital PCB Design Engineer to design and validate advanced electronics for next-generation satellite systems.

The role focuses on high-speed PCB design for avionics and payload interfaces, with strong emphasis on signal integrity and space-grade standards in a specialised manufacturing environment. If you would like to learn more about this opportunity, feel free to reach out and apply today! Responsibilities: Lead high-speed digital design, including schematic capture, layout, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM).

Perform critical pre- and post-layout Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), and thermal simulations. Collaborate with architects to define board-level requirements and high-speed interfaces (DDR, PCIe, SERDES). Select space-qualified components, balancing radiation tolerance with obsolescence management. Drive board bring-up and functional testing, troubleshooting issues during environmental qualification.

Interface with manufacturers and assembly houses to ensure strict compliance with space-grade standards. Prepare documentation and lead technical presentations for Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews (PDR/CDR). Skills/Must Have: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering. 5+ years experience in high-speed digital PCB design, ideally within the aerospace or space sector.

Proficiency with professional ECAD suites (Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics). Deep understanding of impedance control, differential pair routing, and FPGA/microprocessor-based designs. Familiarity with radiation-hardened electronics and standards such as ECSS or IPC Class 3. Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, TDR, and EMC/EMI testing. Must be eligible for "SECRET" level security clearance (EU/ESA/NATO equivalents).

Desirable Skills: Experience with High-Density Interconnect (HDI) design for space applications. Prior involvement in NGSO or MEO constellation programs. Knowledge of advanced thermal management techniques for high-power digital boards. Benefits: Hybrid Working Model, flexible onsite presence (minimum 60% onsite). Opportunities to grow within a pioneering aerospace team internalizing its supply chain.

Competitive salary and benefits aligned with senior aerospace engineering roles. Professional Development: Exposure to state-of-the-art testing and manufacturing environments. Contribute to a global NGSO constellation providing secure, high-speed broadband. Own everything from schematic capture and layout to simulation, board bring-up, and environmental qualification. Work within a cutting-edge integration facility focused on proprietary, software-defined payloads.
