Electrical Engineer (Senior-Staff), Power Systems Verified today

Your Mission

As a Staff Power Engineer at True Anomaly, you will be a senior technical leader on the Power team, owning the design, analysis, and performance of spacecraft electrical power subsystems across multiple programs. You will drive power architecture decisions from solar arrays and energy storage through distribution and protection, and serve as the technical authority ensuring power systems meet demanding reliability and performance requirements of operational space missions.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of spacecraft electrical power systems, including solar arrays, battery systems, power distribution units, and protection circuits
• Own power architecture trades and drive technical decisions balancing performance, mass, thermal, radiation tolerance, cost, and schedule
• Lead preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) for power subsystems, ensuring designs meet program and customer requirements
• Develop and maintain spacecraft power budgets, including generation, storage, distribution, and load analyses across all mission phases from launch through end-of-life
• Perform power system modeling and simulation including on-orbit power generation, eclipse cycling, battery state-of-charge, and transient load analysis
• Design and analyze power conversion and regulation circuits, including DC/DC converters, peak power tracking, charge controllers, and fault protection schemes
• Conduct and review derating analysis and worst-case circuit analysis for power electronics in accordance with EEE-INST-002 and applicable standards
• Perform radiation and reliability analyses for power system components, identifying risks and driving design mitigations for the orbital radiation environment
• Define validation approaches and create development and qualification testing campaigns to exercise power system designs to their limits and ensure reliable hardware
• Develop electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) for power system testing and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation
• Support environmental testing campaigns including EMI/EMC, thermal vacuum, and vibration testing of power subsystem hardware
• Collaborate with avionics, systems engineering, software, and propulsion teams to ensure seamless spacecraft integration of power systems
• Develop and maintain documentation for power systems, including design specifications, interface control documents, test plans, and operating procedures
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers on the Power team, raising the team's design capabilities and technical rigor
• Continuously improve power engineering processes and practices
