Job Description:
Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on
Earth.
Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of
imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an
unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary
cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial,
environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space
company and data company all rolled into one.
Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop
new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our
world's toughest obstacles.
As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing,
data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly
inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.
We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and
we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and
prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our
mission to change the way people see the world.
Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world
wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC,
Germany, and The Netherlands.
About the Role:
You will work on a small team of dedicated engineers responsible
for the design of Planet's satellites. This is not your typical
aerospace or consumer electronics role. You will work on the end to
end process of bringing a product from design to shipment,
optimized for medium-scale mass production. You will design and
optimize electrical compute, data handling, and embedded systems,
both within the spacecraft and on ground support equipment. You
will be responsible for PCB layout projects and interfacing with
mechanical engineers to make sure that board mounting and thermal
issues are addressed. You will conduct environmental and EMC
testing on electrical subsystems and get them ready for flight.
Your work will then be put in a rocket and shot into space.
Impact You'll Own:
Compensation
The US base salary range for this full-time position at the
commencement of employment is $109,800 - $180,600. Additionally,
this role might be eligible for discretionary short-term and
long-term incentives (bonus and equity). The final salary range is
determined by job related experience, skills and location. The
range displays our typical hiring range for new hire salaries in US
locations only. Your recruiter can share more about the specific
salary range for your preferred location during the hiring
process.

of our teams. That's why Planet is guided by an ultimate north star

diversity, equity and inclusion. If this job intrigues you, but
you're thinking you might not have all the qualifications,
please... do apply! At Planet, we are looking for well-rounded
people from around the world who can contribute to more ways than
just what is listed in this job description. We don't just fill
positions, we aspire to fulfill people's careers, most excited
about folks who are motivated by our underlying humanitarian
efforts. We are a few orbits around the sun before we get to where
we want to be, so we hope you're excited to come along for the
ride.
