Your space-enabled career begins here

About the Team:

Taara focuses on increasing access to abundant and affordable internet with beams of light (Wireless Optical Communication). Like fiber, but without the cables, Taara uses wireless optical communication to transmit data at super high speeds through the air as a very narrow, invisible beam. Taara has helped bridge a particularly stubborn connectivity gap between Brazzaville (Republic of Congo) and Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo) across the Congo river. More on this topic is available here and more on Taara here.

About the Role:

Taara is seeking an engineer to lead the complete printed circuit board design from concept to volume product. This individual will be responsible for the architectural design, schematic capture, layout, fabrication, test and qualification of complex high speed printed circuit boards (PCBs). The candidate will be proficient in high-speed digital design, signal integrity, power integrity, wirebonding and board fabrication. They’ll work closely across teams including photonics integrated circuits, electronic integrated circuit, mechanical design and software in developing the board designs.

The position seeks highly-motivated individuals that enjoy working in a small dynamic team environment, with a passion for solving challenging problems that can lead to high-impact advances in technology.

How you’ll make 10x impact

• Designing the analog and digital circuitry including high speed transceivers, power, memory, and sensitive receivers

• Selecting electrical component including SoCs, FPGAs and high speed switches optimizing for performance and cost

• Ensuring signal integrity and power integrity through modeling and lab characterization

• Managing the PCB Layout including detailed signal and power integrity electrical constraint documentation

• Managing component vendors and contract manufacturers for fabrication and testing including defining and coordination with test software resources

• Leveraging system knowledge including EMI/EMC, reliability and compliance

What you should have:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and 5+ years of related experience

• Proficient in design tools including Cadence, Altium, Hyperlynx, ADS and Virtuoso

• Familiar with Product Lifecycle Management tools and ECO management

• In-depth knowledge of manufacturing and process tools

It would be great if you also had these:

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• Knowledge of semiconductor design, measurement and packaging
