## Job description

Logos Space is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite system purpose-built to serve the connectivity needs of the commercial enterprise users and government users. We help fill an important gap in the market, providing resilient, high-performance satellite-based connectivity services to enterprise and government customers worldwide. Business customers have contracts with agreed-upon performance standards for their broadband, and Logos will build these capabilities into the system from the beginning. Speed and reliability are the foundation of the system. Logos is designed to extend cloud and data center network connectivity anywhere in the world to fixed, seaborne, and airborne terminals.

Logos is led by a team of highly experienced engineers with proven track records in the networking and satellite industries, including companies such as Google, SpaceX, and Amazon.

## POSITION SUMMARY

Logos is building state-of-the-art radiofrequency (RF) payload hardware and ground antennas, which include cutting-edge phased array antennas. You will be the team lead, responsible engineer, and extreme owner of electronically steered antennas that will provide resilient satellite-based connectivity. You will define, design, analyze, and validate the phased array system architecture. This is an early, high-impact role that demands technical expertise in both RF systems and phased array antennas along with an ability to collaborate effectively in a cross-functional engineering team. At the end of three years, hundreds to thousands of your phased array antennas will be flying in and operating in space.

## RESPONSIBILITIES

You will be responsible for the hardware implementation of and successful spaceflight of RF payload phased array antenna systems.

- Cradle-to-grave ownership of space hardware: perform trade studies, select and manage vendors, design RF and antenna hardware, perform validation tests, and guide your system through production readiness
- Drive development of system-level requirements for a complex phased array antenna system
- Manage cost and schedule of RF hardware
- Perform trade studies and define RF system architecture
- Collaborate with, provide technical leadership, and guide a multi-disciplinary team including antenna, RF, mechanical, thermal, electrical, power, digital, modem, manufacturing, test, and supply chain engineers
- Establish and manage qualification and acceptance test campaigns for space environments (vibration, thermal, TVAC, radiation) per standards such as MIL-STD-461 and SMC-S-016

## BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math)
- 5+ years of industry experience in RF, microwave, and/or antenna engineering for satellite communications or similar applications
- Strong theoretical and practical understanding of phased array antennas, beamforming, and electronically steered antennas
- Familiarity with the full RF system including: digital, baseband, analog RF/microwave components (amplifiers, mixers, filters, oscillators, etc.), and radiating elements
- Demonstrated experience collaborating in a multi-disciplinary team
- Experience carrying RF hardware through its product life cycle, including requirements definition, design reviews, prototyping, test, and production
- Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills; we are looking for a leader

## PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering
- Experience with design, calibration, and over-the-air measurements of multi-beam phased array antennas or active electronically steered arrays (AESAs)
- Experience with RF test & measurement tools such as vector network analyzers (VNAs), spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and software defined radios (SDRs)
- Experience with the full space hardware product life cycle, including requirements definition, design reviews, prototyping, test, and mass production
- Experience designing and testing hardware for space environments or similar per standards such as SMC-S-016 or MIL-STD-461, including considerations for thermal management, vibration, radiation effects, and reliability
- Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams and managing technical projects
- Experience managing subcontractors and suppliers for space hardware
- Familiarity with LEO satellite communications systems and high-throughput payloads
- Familiarity with RF propagation, link budgets, and system-level RF architecture
- Familiarity with RF or millimeter wave analog hardware development at Ku- through V-band frequencies

## About Logos Space

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Logos Space is building a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation to deliver a secure, resilient, high-performance private network for government and enterprise customers.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Mountain View, California, USA (with additional office in Redwood City, CA)
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Milo Medin (former Google VP of access services and NASA project manager)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Satellite communications, aerospace & defense, telecommunications
- **Target customers**: Government agencies (defense, intelligence, civil) and large enterprises requiring secure, guaranteed connectivity – distinct from consumer-focused satellite broadband.
- **Mission / purpose**: Deliver a next-generation private network that is purpose-built for contested communications environments, offering security, resilience, and fiber-like performance where fiber doesn’t go.

## Products & Services
- **Logos LEO Constellation**: A planned network of up to 4,178 satellites operating in Q, V, Ka and E frequency bands (FCC licensed). Capabilities include symmetric multi-gigabit throughput, Layer 2 MPLS networking, end-to-end encryption, and electronic warfare (EW) resilience. Designed as a dual-use system (civilian and military) with hardened satellites and a mesh architecture to maintain service during disruption.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Total Funding**: USD $50 million (Series A led by US Innovative Technology Fund, announced June 2025). Total funding to date is $50M, with USIT as the sole investor.
- **Key Metric**: 22–38 employees (rapidly growing; headcount up 416% year-over-year); 59 active job postings as of mid-2026.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: US Innovative Technology Fund (chaired by serial entrepreneur Thomas Tull). Key hires from SpaceX, NASA, Airbus, OneWeb, and Apollo Fusion.
- **Growth Signals**: FCC grant for satellite spectrum license (Feb 2026) authorizing up to 4,178 satellites; emerged from stealth in Oct 2024; aiming for first operational satellite in late 2027; aggressive hiring across engineering, RF, software, and business development.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Dual-use focus**: Purpose-built for government and enterprise, not consumer – enabling higher security, guaranteed service, and resilience requirements.
- **EW-resilient design**: Architecture minimizes signal disruption and resists jamming through high-elevation angles, tightly focused beams, and hardened satellites.
- **Unique spectrum portfolio**: FCC-approved use of Q, V, Ka and E bands – high-frequency bands that are less congested and offer higher bandwidth.
- **Fiber-like performance at scale**: Symmetric multi-Gbps throughput with Layer 2 MPLS and end-to-end encryption, filling a gap underserved by existing LEO providers.
- **Experienced leadership**: Founder Milo Medin (Google access services, NASA) and a deeply experienced technical team from top aerospace and satellite organizations.

## Strategic Focus
- Complete critical design decisions, select partners, and build prototypes.
- Scale engineering team from ~30 to 70+ employees through 2026.
- Deploy first operational satellite by late 2027 and begin constellation build-out.
- Continue engaging with U.S. regulators and potential government/enterprise customers.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven**: Work on a “next-generation” communications infrastructure that addresses real national security and enterprise resilience needs.
- **Culture & values**: No silos, no politics; treat people with respect; debate, decide, commit; continuous learning; customer focus. Operating principles explicitly discourage unprofessional behavior.
- **Growth opportunity**: Start-up stage with significant funding, clear milestone, and aggressive hiring – opportunity to shape technology and team.
- **Work policy**: In-office (typically 5 days a week) at Mountain View or Redwood City, CA locations.
- **Teams**: Engineering, product, operations, and business development roles heavily represented; emphasis on space, RF, embedded software, and network engineering.
