<p>Why LeoLabs?</p> <p>At LeoLabs, we’re building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions.</p> <p>We’re not just building technology, we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and threats grow more complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Satellite Operations for top-tier space operators and allied defense organizations.</p> <p>If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the forefront of aerospace, national security, and AI, your impact starts here</p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Paragraph Heading" data-ccp-parastyle-defn="{"ObjectId":"95d7a333-bc22-5ca9-bdef-939dfb579b00|1","ClassId":1073872969,"Properties":[469775450,"LL Paragraph Heading",201340122,"2",134234082,"true",134233614,"true",469778129,"LLParagraphHeading",335572020,"1",134224900,"true",469777841,"Proxima Nova",469777842,"Times New Roman (Body CS)",469777844,"Proxima Nova",469769226,"Proxima Nova,Times New Roman (Body CS)",335551500,"6120009",268442635,"28",134233111,"true",335559739,"120",335559738,"120",201342446,"1",201342447,"5",201342448,"1",201342449,"1",469777843,"Proxima Nova Regular",201341986,"1"]}">The Opportunity</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":120,"335559739":120}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body" data-ccp-parastyle-defn="{"ObjectId":"a21a5415-3b08-573c-adbb-21f2d596d785|1","ClassId":1073872969,"Properties":[469777841,"Proxima Nova",469777844,"Proxima Nova",469769226,"Proxima Nova",201342446,"1",201342447,"5",201342448,"1",201342449,"1",469777842,"",469777843,"Proxima Nova Regular",201341986,"1",268442635,"24",469775450,"LL Body",201340122,"2",134234082,"true",134233614,"true",469778129,"LLBody",335572020,"1",335551500,"5526350",134233111,"true",335559737,"432",335559740,"276",201341983,"0",335559739,"240",335559738,"240",469778324,"Normal"]}">At LeoLabs, the Hardware Engineering Team designs, builds, manufactures, and deploys advanced radar systems that provide persistent orbital intelligence to customers around the world.</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body"> LeoLabs is at the forefront of this technology, a recognized space-domain awareness leader and </span><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body">seen as </span><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body">a</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body"> disruptor in conventional radar systems. </span><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body"> </span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559737":432,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":276}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body">As a Principal </span><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body">Radio Systems</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="LL Body"> Engineer, you will lead the design and architecture of the electronics that power our next-generation radar systems.
