Engineering or related field \nMinimum 8 years of professional experience in spacecraft or high-reliability electrical power systems design \nStrong technical background in solar array systems, battery technologies (Li-ion, LiFePO4), charge control, DC/DC converters, peak power tracking, and power distribution \nDemonstrated experience with radiation effects on power system components and radiation-tolerant design practices \nExperience leading preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) for power or electrical subsystems \nProficiency with power system modeling, analysis, and simulation tools \nExperience with spacecraft power budgeting across all mission phases, including launch, tip-off, eclipse, and end-of-life \nAdvanced experience with circuit design tools (Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD) and analysis tools (SPICE, MATLAB, or similar) \nExcellent communication and interpersonal skills \nPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE \nMaster's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field \nExperience with fault management and autonomous protection schemes for spacecraft power systems \nExperience with EEE parts screening and qualification per EEE-INST-002 or NASA-INST-002 \nFamiliarity with EMI/EMC qualification and mitigation per GSFC-STD-7000 (GEVS) and MIL-STD-461 \nExperience designing, analyzing, and testing for spacecraft charging effects \nFamiliarity with lab test equipment including power supplies, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and solar array simulators \nExperience developing EGSE or HIL test environments for power subsystem validation \nKnowledge of power supply stability analysis techniques \nExperience with GEO, LEO, or other operational orbit regimes and their implications for power system design \nExperience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting \nCOMPENSATION \nBase Salary: $135,000-$250,000 \nEquity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave \n Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations:
