The Company
AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale — enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before.
The Role
AnySignal builds software-defined radios and ground segment hardware for space missions. We need a skilled electrician who takes pride in clean, reliable wiring to build our ground station systems in-house. You’ll own panel builds, power wiring, harnesses, terminations and RF interconnects, from a bare enclosure to tested hardware that’s ready to deploy. You’ll work with our engineers every day to improve designs and build processes.
What You’ll Do
- Assemble control panels, enclosures and rack systems from drawings and wiring diagrams.
- Wire AC/DC power distribution: breakers, terminal blocks, power supplies, grounding and bonding.
- Make, route, label and dress harnesses for power, signal, Ethernet, fiber and coax.
- Terminate RF connectors (SMA, N-type, TNC) and sweep each assembly for loss and VSWR.
- Bring finished builds online with continuity, polarity and functional checks, and fix defects before release.
- Diagnose wiring and hardware problems down to the part using meters, cable certifiers and RF instruments.
- Record as-built details and test data, and write the work instructions others build from.
Required Skills
- 3+ years of wiring, assembling and testing electrical hardware in a production or lab setting.
- Deep experience building panels and low-voltage AC/DC power systems.
- Excellent crimping, soldering and termination skills, including coax.
- Fluency reading schematics, wiring diagrams and mechanical prints.
- Confidence with meters, crimpers, strippers, drills and other shop equipment.
- Self-direction: you take a task from start to finish and solve problems as they come up.
- Ability to handle loads up to 50 lbs.
Nice to Have
- Background in space, satellite ground segment or telecom hardware.
- Hands-on time with a VNA, spectrum analyzer, cable/antenna analyzer or power meter.
- Training in IPC/WHMA-A-620 or J-STD-001 workmanship.
- Experience installing servers and switches with structured copper and fiber cabling.
- UL 508A / NEC panel practices, plus grounding and surge protection for antenna systems.
- Exposure to motors, drives or control systems.
