About the role

Planet in San Francisco is seeking an experienced electrical engineer to own the hardware powering our satellites. You will design, optimize, and validate electrical, data, and embedded systems, push PCBAs to their limits, and ensure readiness for space. The role requires hybrid work from SF and up to 25% travel to Berlin. You will collaborate with manufacturing and qualification teams to develop tests at satellite factories and ensure robust designs for harsh environments.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
