Staff Power Electronics Engineer Verified today
The Role
Join CesiumAstro's spacecraft payload development team as a Staff Power Electronics Engineer. You will contribute across the entire development lifecycle of next-generation power electronics hardware for satellites and space power systems payloads, from leading power system architecture definition and trade studies to detailed circuit design, simulation, PCB layout, verification and integration testing, production transition, and manufacturing support.
What You'll Do
- Define electrical power system architecture and derive power subsystem requirements
- Design DC-DC power converters, motor drives, inverters, power management and control circuits from concept to production release
- Perform detailed design for analog and power electronics circuits ranging from single DC-DC converters to multi-output power supply modules
- Perform modeling and analysis including worst-case circuit analysis (WCA), stress analysis, small signal modeling, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), reliability analysis, and power integrity analysis
- Develop design verification test plans, requirement compliance matrices, system integration and qualification test plans, and production acceptance test plans
- Lead board bring-up and design verification testing of power electronics circuits and modules
- Lead system integration, qualification campaigns, and release of designs into production
- Mentor younger engineers and foster knowledge sharing
- Lead a small team of power electronics engineers to drive project execution
- Perform research and monitor power electronics industry trends to drive innovation and generate intellectual property
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor of Science degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or related field from an accredited university
- Minimum 9 years of experience designing analog and power electronics
- Experience working with electrical power systems and subsystems, including developing power architecture and power requirements, performing trade studies for size, weight, power, and cost optimization (SWAP-C), selecting power converter topologies, and defining power management and control blocks
