About Astradyne:
Astradyne is an innovative and fast-growing startup in the aerospace sector. We specialize in deployable structures for both space and terrestrial applications, combining flexible electronics with advanced fabrics. Our flagship product, SolarCube, is an origami-inspired solar panel that sets new standards for power efficiency and compact design in the industry. We are committed to developing revolutionary technologies that redefine the limits of what is possible.

Job Description:
We are seeking a passionate and skilled Electronics Engineer who is a quick learner and enthusiastic about space-related applications. If you want to join a young and dynamic organization whose mission is to design and build cutting-edge technology that will revolutionize the space sector, this may be the right opportunity for you!
The candidate will join the engineering division of the company, a fast-growing team who is applying advanced research and engineering skills, contributing to the development of the SolarCube, a lightweight and compact EPS (electronics power system) for satellites characterized by a novel origami-inspired folding structure. The candidate will be responsible for designing, testing, and maintaining electronic systems and components.

Key Responsibilities:
• Being the main developer for the electronics of the SolarCube EPS and implementing its main functionalities (route solar panel power to loads and batteries, charge/discharge lithium batteries, monitor and sensing system status).
• Write technical documentation (HW and SW requirements, block diagrams, system diagrams, design justification files, etc.).
• Design rigid-flex electronic circuits using Altium software (schematics, layout, gerber, BOM, PCB specification, procurement, etc.).
• Creation of schematic and layout footprints.
• Plan, develop and conduct tests to ensure the functionality and reliability of electronic systems and components are satisfied.
• Troubleshoot and debug electronic circuits and systems as needed.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate electronic systems into final products.
• Stay up to date with industry developments and advancements in electronics engineering.
• Master the ECSS documentation related to electronics development and testing.
