PierSight
This role involves designing, developing, and validating complex embedded hardware for Earth observation satellite payloads and other space applications. The position requires expertise in mixed-signal electronics, high-speed digital interfaces, RF circuit integration, and power-supply design. The selected candidate will define and review PCB layout constraints for complex mixed-signal boards while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless hardware and software integration.
PierSight designs and builds mission-specific synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems — including a constellation of SAR + AIS satellites (Varuna) for persistent maritime surveillance and a drone-agnostic foliage-penetrating SAR payload (Vidura) for defense and tactical reconnaissance. Their systems deliver persistent, all-weather, day-and-night intelligence for use cases such as EEZ monitoring, IUU fishing detection, oil spill detection, counter-insurgency, and cross-border surveillance. PierSight serves defence agencies, government operators, and commercial customers including shipping companies, maritime insurers, and fisheries managers.
