Posted 12 minutes ago
About the role
- Electronics Engineer developing high-performance electronics for quantum communication in space. Engaging in hands-on development from architecture to PCB design in an innovative tech environment.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end hardware development: from system architecture down to board-level implementation and lab validation
- Design and implement high-throughput data acquisition and signal-processing electronics, including analog front-ends, timing, and high-speed digital interfaces
- Develop and optimize PCB layouts for performance, manufacturability, EMC, and reliability; drive DFM/DFT improvements with suppliers
- Build rapid prototypes and test fixtures to validate requirements and de-risk concepts; plan and execute bring-up, characterization and verification
- Select and qualify space-grade components; plan and lead part qualification campaigns with vendors and labs
- Collaborate closely with optical, FPGA, and software engineers to define clear system requirements and interfaces
- Perform detailed analyses (parts-stress, worst-case, FMEA/FMECA) under radiation, thermal, vibration, and EMC constraints
- Design noise-free analog power supplies and FPGA environments for high-speed, low-noise operation
- Participate in technical reviews and customer meetings; present trade studies, test results, and risk mitigations
Requirements
- Hands-on experience in PCB design/layout, including stack-up definition, impedance control, length matching, and EMI/EMC design
- Strong lab skills: oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and root-cause analysis
- Solid understanding of high-speed DAQ architectures, synchronization, clocking, and data movers to FPGAs or SoCs
- Familiarity with space electronics reliability (radiation effects, derating, thermal design) and ECSS/MIL standards
- Experience with power integrity and analog design for mixed-signal systems
- Clear and confident technical communication in English (specifications, test plans, design reviews)
- A collaborative mindset and ownership attitude; comfortable iterating quickly in an interdisciplinary environment
- Experience in FPGA-based control and signal-processing environments (Nice to Have)
- Exposure to quantum communication, photonics, or optical systems (Nice to Have)
- Knowledge of radiation-tolerant design practices and part-screening methodologies (Nice to Have)
- Interest in space qualification and system-level engineering (Nice to Have)
Benefits
- Flexible work arrangements in a hybrid model combining remote and onsite collaboration
- Close collaboration with leading researchers and engineers in quantum optics, FPGA, and embedded systems
- Hands-on involvement in all phases - from prototype to flight model
- Flat hierarchies, ownership, and the opportunity to drive innovation in an emerging deep-tech sector
- A collaborative and innovative environment in Vienna, a global hub for quantum research and space technology
- Balanced work-life integration for our employees
- Attractive workplace with excellent infrastructure at Wienerberg
- Great Italian espresso
- Humorous and friendly work atmosphere
