Astranis is on a mission to bridge the digital divide by connecting the four billion people worldwide who currently lack internet access. We're doing this by building the next generation of smaller, more cost-effective spacecraft to bring the world online.

As a team, we've launched two satellites into orbit, signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $500 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 300 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload.

Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we're very excited for the impact we'll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more! Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career. Apply and join us on our journey towards global connectivity!Senior EEE Component Reliability EngineerAs a component reliability engineer with Astranis you'll play a critical role in ensuring that our spacecraft meet our mission reliability and lifetime goals and ensure that we are able effectively leverage new technologies into our spacecraft electronics. The component reliability engineer will work closely with our electrical, thermal, and mechanical teams to select EEE components, assess their reliability, design solutions to our reliability challenges, and to plan and execute additional qualification or screening processes as needed.

You'll support the team in pushing the boundary of what is possible in a geo-synchronous spacecraft design and enable performance in space that has not been realized to date.RoleDevelop physics of failures based models to predict EEE component life and assess the impact of component failure on mission lifeDevelop qualification and screening tests and derating guidelines for flight rated EEE components. Advise designers on parts selection based on part qualification levels and reliability test dataDrive failure analysis on EEE component failures to determine root causes and identify corrective actionsAssist in maintaining the approved component library in Astranis's ECAD and PLM databasesRequirementsBachelor's degree in an engineering discipline5+ years of experience as a component, reliability engineer, or electrical engineer.
