Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2019)

Four billion people do not have access to the internet. Astranis is going to change that. We are building the next generation of smaller, lower-cost telecommunications satellites to bring the world online.

Join us and work with top engineers who have flown things in space before. The team is currently 35 people from SpaceX, Skybox, Qualcomm, and Google.

Roles we’re hiring for include:

* Embedded software -- write mission critical software that runs the spacecraft. No previous embedded or space experience required.

* Avionics -- PCB design, layout, bringup, test of mission critical electrical subsystems. Bonus: experience with fault-tolerant electronics

* Power electronics -- Design ~2 kW satellite power systems, including solar arrays and electronics for power regulation and distribution

* Thermal -- Design and analyze systems to reject sizable point loads without the aid of convection

* Aerospace/controls -- implement solutions to 6 DOF, non-linear control problems. Experience with spacecraft controls is a plus but not required.

* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range designing and implementing RF systems at microwave frequencies, including LNAs and power amplifiers

* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores

Zoba is a platform for analyzing, visualizing, and optimizing spatial data. Our mission is to “improve the efficiency of cities and the lives of people that live in them.” Right now, our customers are primarily (micro)mobility companies interested in questions like “where should we place our vehicles” and “how should we rebalance our fleet?”

Presently we’re a team of 6 people who believe hard in the power and importance of cities as engines of human well-being. We’re looking for a backend engineer with a few years of experience to work on our API, which is primarily used by data scientists at client companies. Our backend stack is Python, Django, Postgres/PostGIS, and AWS. Other tools we use include NodeJS, React, Julia, and Gurobi. Of course, we’re always looking for talented, thoughtful, kind people, so if you’re an engineer or data scientist interested in what we do, please get in touch!

We work hard to make Zoba an actively great place to work. Perks include:

- Sane working hours (e.g. since I joined last fall, I’ve yet to work a single night or weekend, though it may happen eventually)

- Unlimited vacation policy, with a suggested minimum number of days (to avoid the slide to people trying to be tough by taking 0 days)

- Roughly biweekly seminars on team members’ interests, typically not directly work related

- Weekly team lunches

- Have plenty of runway and backed by excellent investors including CRV, Founder Collective, Mark Cuban, and Kaggle founder Anthony Goldbloom
