Electrical Systems Engineer Verified today

About the Role

Define and improve how spacecraft electrical systems are designed across Dawn Aerospace's in-space propulsion product portfolio. You'll develop the electrical system architectures, design methodologies, tools and verification processes that enable engineers to deliver reliable flight systems more efficiently. This includes automating requirements traceability, compliance reporting, power and mass budgets, reliability analysis, system configuration control, interface definitions, documentation and verification activities.

Primary Responsibilities

• Own and continuously improve the electrical system design methodology across in-space propulsion products, developing standard architectures, reusable design approaches and engineering tools.
• Develop and maintain scalable processes for requirements management, system design, verification, documentation and configuration control.
• Work directly with customers to understand technical requirements and translate these into system requirements, verification plans, specifications and test procedures.
• Collaborate with R&D teams to develop new propulsion products and improve system-level design methodologies throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Support propulsion operations by investigating system anomalies, assessing non-conformances, identifying root causes and implementing corrective and preventative actions.

Required Experience

• 2 or more years of experience in electrical systems engineering, systems engineering, systems integration or a related engineering role within aerospace, defence or another high-reliability industry.
• Experience developing system architectures, electrical system documentation or engineering design processes.
• Understanding of systems engineering principles, including requirements management, verification and validation.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with customers and/or end users as a technical point of contact.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Desired Experience

• Familiarity with ECSS standards, including requirements management, compliance assessment and verification.
• Experience developing engineering tools, automation or workflows that improve the productivity of other engineers.
• Experience with structured documentation, configuration management and engineering change processes.
• Experience working on spacecraft, launch vehicle or other safety-critical systems.
• Experience with model-based systems engineering (MBSE), SysML or similar systems engineering tools.

Dawn Aerospace values diverse teams and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences are valued and supported to do their best work.
