Senior Power Electronics Engineer Verified today

The Role

You will design some of the highest-power systems ever flown in space. You will develop power electronics devices ranging from power switching to power conversion components capable of operating in harsh space environments. In your first 6 months you will prototype your first high-power devices and execute environmental and performance testing. In your first year you will qualify your hardware for flight. In your first two years you will have flown your power devices in space and developed novel designs across all power domains.

Responsibilities

• Develop power electronics for large spacecraft with power systems ranging from 20kW to 100kW capability
• Serve as Responsible Engineer for flight hardware from conception through flight
• Qualify your designs through environmental testing including vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum testing
• Work with partners and customers to define interfaces between the power system and various spacecraft loads
• Develop models to analyze and verify power system performance

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering
• 5 or more years of professional design experience with power electronics (research and academic projects qualify)

Preferred Experience

• Proficient with circuit simulation tools such as LTspice
• Experience with environmental testing for space electronics such as thermal testing, vibration testing, TVAC testing, shock testing, radiation testing, and EMI/EMC testing
• Experience with high-performance kW-scale isolated power converter design
• Experience with load switch design and power path protection schemes
• Experience with power stage component selection for use in radiation environments
• Knowledge of filter design for stability, noise rejection, and surviving threat signals
• Experience programming in C/C++, Python, or Matlab

Compensation

• Base salary range: $160,000 to $210,000 plus equity
• Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, and paid parental leave
