Own high-density PCB layout for high-speed digital, RF, mixed-signal, and power electronics. Define stackups, placement, routing constraints, libraries, and manufacturing documentation. Collaborate with electrical, RF, antenna, production, fabrication, and assembly teams on DFM, DFA, DFT, EMI/EMC, and power delivery. Establish PCB design standards, tools, workflows, and automation while serving as the internal authority on high-speed and high-frequency layout.

Lead development of Northwood antenna systems from concept through production and deployment. Define system requirements, architectures, interfaces, and verification plans. Coordinate mechanical, electrical, RF, embedded, thermal, manufacturing, test, and field teams. Manage schedules, risks, prototypes, integration, testing, and production-readiness while contributing hands-on within a primary engineering discipline and communicating progress to leadership.

Build and own the cost accounting function, including standard costing, inventory valuation, WIP, COGS, manufacturing variance analysis, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting. Partner with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Program teams to translate production activity into accurate product costs. Establish scalable processes, controls, ERP workflows, and reporting infrastructure while supporting month-end and quarter-end close activities.

Leads commercial growth and end-to-end business development across Northwood’s commercial space customer base. Builds executive, technical, procurement, and partner relationships; develops account and campaign strategies; identifies and shapes opportunities; and guides pursuits through contract award and expansion. Partners with product, engineering, mission, and leadership teams to translate customer needs into strategy, technical positioning, capture, and execution while providing market, funding, and procurement insights to inform product direction and growth.

Leads international business development and growth across government and commercial space customers. Builds relationships with foreign agencies, sovereign programs, allied operators, and industry partners; develops account and campaign strategies; shapes technical opportunities and partnerships; and guides product and company strategy. The role requires expertise in international space markets, procurement, partnership structures, export controls, and complex program capture.

Own strategic opportunities from early identification through award across government and commercial customers. Build customer relationships, assess competition, develop win and teaming strategies, lead price-to-win and go/no-go analysis, and manage proposal responses. Coordinate business development, engineering, product, mission, legal, and finance teams while maintaining capture playbooks, competitive intelligence, and reusable proposal infrastructure.

Develop and test software for Linux-based embedded devices, including tooling, system configuration, user-space applications, and OTA updates. Debug hardware/software integration issues, work with I2C, SPI, UART, and USB interfaces, use laboratory equipment, write tests and documentation, and collaborate with FPGA, electrical, firmware, and software engineers. The intern will own a project and present the results.

Assist with mechanical design of antenna components, structures, mechanisms, environmental systems, tooling, test fixtures, weldments, and ground support equipment. Collaborate with RF, electrical, manufacturing, and software engineers on system integration, design reviews, manufacturability, reliability, and compliance. Support hardware development, fabrication, assembly, and mechanical or thermal analysis for globally deployed satellite ground station systems.

Supports the design, implementation, and optimization of secure, scalable data movement across Northwood’s hybrid cloud and on-premises ground station network. Responsibilities include developing data transfer interfaces and pipelines, testing reliable and fault-tolerant systems, working with networking devices and protocols, and collaborating with software, network, and FPGA engineers to improve performance and scalability.

Support high-speed PCB development for digital communication systems, including schematic design, layout, FPGA and microcontroller integration, prototyping, board bring-up, validation, and performance testing. Collaborate with RF, antenna, and DSP/FPGA engineers, suppliers, and hardware teams to optimize reliability, scalability, component cost, and system performance. Work may involve lab testing, PCB rework, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC considerations.
