SatVu

About the Company

SatVu captures the highest resolution thermal data from space for a safer and more sustainable Earth.

The images and short video captured by our satellites show heat variations across the surface of the Earth at a resolution of up to 3.5 m, both during the day and at night.

Thermal data at this unparalleled resolution has wide applications, from economic monitoring and national security to climate resilience including urban heat monitoring.

The company’s first satellite HotSat-1 launched in June 2023. Two more satellites (HotSat-2 and HotSat-3) will be launched in 2025.

We've delivered a step change in EO sensor and processing technology, and our constellation will achieve global coverage with 10-20 revisits per day.

Features:

Monitor activity at night: Unlike high-resolution optical, SatVu’s data can see at night. It can also see through smoke. High resolution thermal imagery represents a vital night-time optical substitute.

A globally scalable solution: Unlike thermal data captured from aeroplanes or drones, SatVu can capture data from any point on the earth’s surface, including inaccessible or restricted areas, and it can do this in a uniform way.

Video capability: SatVu is the only company capable of providing thermal data in the form of both still image and video up to 60 seconds long - allowing you to track movement across the built and natural environment.

Our values:

Challenge constructively: We leverage the diversity of the team, its thinking and the amazing skillsets of our people as we navigate new territory.

Be open: We ensure everyone has the most up to date information to build trust and positive relationships that will help us overcome the challenges we face.

Focus fast: We always find a way because accepting and responding to dramatic change effectively is key to our success.

Astonish the world: We believe we can show the world what we do in ways that inspire change.

Job Description

**Job Title** Electronics Engineer – Imager Electronics **Role Summary** Lead the design, build, and verification of the HotSat‑4 imager electronics while embedded on‑site with Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL). Oversee mixed‑signal and FPGA design, test automation, and AIV support, then transfer knowledge to SatVu’s team to shape future payload electronics strategy. **Expectations** - Deliver high‑reliability, low‑volume electronics for an optical satellite payload within tight schedules. - Maintain complete design traceability for IP transfer and due‑diligence documentation. - Work autonomously; coordinate cross‑disciplinary trade‑offs, budgets, and schedules with SSTL and SatVu stakeholders. **Key Responsibilities** 1. Design analog and digital circuits for optical payload subsystems; create schematics and PCB layouts suitable for manufacture and test. 2. Perform circuit simulation (SPICE), FPGA (VHDL) interfacing, and develop test automation scripts (Python/TCL). 3. Develop electronics ground support equipment and support Assembly, Integration & Verification (AIV). 4. Debug hardware, author assembly/test procedures, and produce verification reports and technical documentation. 5. Ensure traceability of all electronic design data; prepare technical due‑diligence artefacts. 6. Coordinate with SSTL system engineers on trade‑offs, budget constraints, and schedule milestones. **Required Skills** - Proven mixed‑signal design experience for space or high‑reliability applications. - PCB design using Mentor or equivalent EDA tools. - Circuit simulation proficiency (SPICE). - FPGA design and VHDL interfacing. - Scripting in Python and/or TCL. - Hardware debugging, test equipment operation. - Strong documentation, planning, and cross‑discipline communication. - Ability to work independently under schedule pressure. **Required Education & Certifications** - Bachelor’s (or Master’s) degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field. - Experience in space electronics and reliability engineering preferred.
