Electrical Engineer, Radiation Tolerant Control Systems, Space Applications

CACI International•Los Gatos, CA

46d

About The Position

At CACI, we specialize in the design, development, and manufacturing of complex, state-of-the-art sensors and systems for optical communications in space. With terminals operating in space since 2021, and follow-on generations launching this year, we are seeking new engineers to help us scale our product portfolio to new form-factors and orbits. As an Electrical Engineer in our Los Gatos, CA facility you will take ownership of PCBA design from concept through schematic, layout and into production. You will work in a fast-paced environment and closely collaborate with mechanical, mechatronic, optical and software engineers. You will see your designs through to production in our CA and FL manufacturing facilities.
