As an Electrical Engineer on the hardware team, you will be responsible for owning the design, manufacture, and test of power circuitry for highly integrated PCBAs used by a large number of space customers. You will work with a small team of software, RF hardware, and FPGA engineers to shepherd the product from initial design to vehicle integration, taking a full-stack approach to building robust space communication systems.
Responsibilities- Design, analyze and test DC-DC power converters for space
- Work on electrical power system and sub-system level design trades and develop requirements
- Define and perform electrical power system verification testing and analysis
- Work with multidisciplinary teams of hardware, software and production engineers to create new power electronics hardware
Basic Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or other STEM discipline
- 3+ years of professional experience designing power circuitry
- Proven experience doing schematic capture and layout in Altium Designer or similar
- Experience in modeling, simulation, and testing of power electronics
- Experience designing and debugging power converters
Preferred Experience & Skills- Master's degree in electrical engineering or related field
- Familiar with failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMEA)
- Experience designing power trees with complex sequencing requirements
- Experience with hand-on impedance measurement and loop-gain measurement
- Working experience in voltage and current mode control and compensation design
- Strong grasp of DC-DC topologies, with ability to select optimal architectures and components
- Familiarity with a wide range of topologies such as push-pull, buck, boost, buck-boost, forward, half-bridge, full-bridge, LLC resonant and phase-shifted full-bridge converters
- Familiarity with spacecraft electrical power systems
