Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world.

We’re launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth – updated in real time – enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.

We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world’s most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they’re needed most.

About the Job
As a Lead High-Speed PCB Layout Engineer, you will own the physical implementation of Array’s high-speed digital and mixed-signal electronics in Altium, translating schematics and performance requirements into layouts and functional designs. Your work will include component placement, constraint-driven routing, stack-up definition, return path and reference plane strategy, and partitioning between sensitive mixed-signal domains and high-speed digital interfaces.

You will partner closely with electrical design, firmware, mechanical, and test engineers to drive layout constraints, reviews, and manufacturing releases. The boards you ship will directly determine signal integrity, power integrity, noise performance, and overall system reliability in the lab and on orbit.

Interview Process
We will conduct interviews via Google Meet; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish.

Hiring and Compensation Strategy
Our hiring and compensation strategy is simple:

1) find uncommonly good people
2) pay them uncommonly well

You can anticipate competitive pay, with high flexibility between salary and equity-based compensation.

Why Join Array Labs?
Array Labs is launching a constellation of satellites to create the first high-resolution, real-time, three-dimensional model of Earth. Our next-generation satellite technology will offer image quality 60x greater than traditional techniques, profoundly expanding humanity’s ability to understand and respond to events on a global scale.
In forging an affordable, accessible, accurate representation of Earth, our work has the potential to transform the face of dozens of fields, including autonomy, telecommunications, disaster relief, gaming, climate science, defense and construction.
