Full Job Description
Albedo is looking for a technical lead for power and analog electrical engineering on our avionics and spacecraft-power programs. You own electrical architecture across programs (EPS, bus regulation, battery management, isolated supplies, analog signal chains, and board- and box-level electrical design), set EE technical direction alongside engineering management, and drive the next generation of what our electronics can do. You lead through architecture, design review, and mentoring, with the day-to-day design work delegated to other engineers. You stay hands-on as time allows, taking the hard and high-stakes design work yourself. Your Ideal Skills and Experience: • 10+ years of electrical-engineering experience • BSEE required (MSEE preferred) • Extensive end-to-end hardware-design experience: multiple designs taken from concept through production • Deep power and analog expertise: DC/DC (buck / boost / flyback), battery management, bus regulation, isolated supplies, analog signal-chain and mixed-signal design; first-principles thermal, transient, and efficiency analysis • High-voltage DC power design, including isolation, protection, and creepage/clearance discipline • Solid grasp of digital architecture: enough to partner on the electrical interfaces and mixed-signal boundaries to FPGA / avionics and flight software • Hands-on schematic capture AND PCB layout on complex multi-layer designs, plus a working command of signal integrity and power integrity (controlled impedance, return paths, stackup, decoupling), and the judgment to review others' designs • EMI/EMC understanding: design for electromagnetic compatibility, grounding, shielding, filtering, and control of conducted/radiated emissions • Strong lab / hands-on skills: power measurement, standard bench instruments, board bring-up and debug • A track record of setting technical direction and mentoring other engineers • Helps enforce EE design-review discipline: holds designs to the standard and gates reviews before release • A working understanding of the space environment and what radiation does to ICs (TID and single-event effects / SEE: SEU / SEL / SET) and how that drives part selection, derating, and design margin • Experience flying COTS parts in space: using commercial parts in the radiation environment safely (rad-tolerance by design, upscreening / lot testing, architecture-level mitigation) instead of defaulting to expensive rad-hard, and knowing when a rad-hard part is genuinely required • Space / avionics rigor: parts derating and stress analysis, reliability, design margin for flight electronics • Works cross-functionally with FPGA / avionics, flight software, mechanical / thermal, and systems teams • Supports proposals when needed: EE/power architecture concepts, power budgets, compliance-matrix input, and rough BOM/cost for new-business responses • A push-the-envelope mindset: always looking for new, cheaper, faster, more-reliable ways to build exquisite capability at a fraction of the cost • On-site in Broomfield, CO Nice to have: • Motor-control power stages (brushless-motor drive electronics) • Altium experience specifically (we use Altium and can teach the tool; the capture/layout skill above is what's required) • MSEE • Python for test automation and analysis tooling • Automated parts-stress / derating tooling • Experience using AI tools in daily engineering work: LLM assistants for design, review, analysis, and documentation Salary Range: $190,000 - $220,000 per year Compensation and Benefits for Full-Time Roles: • Employee friendly equity compensation • 4% direct matching 401k • Health Insurance: 100% employee coverage & 75% dependent coverage • Parental leave and childcare coverage • Flexible vacation and sick time from day one • 12 company holidays • $100 monthly wellness benefit • Relocation package if not based in Denver The final compensation package is subject to change if the candidate's experience and company need drive a different job level than originally slated for the position. Albedo does not accept agency resumes. Please do not forward resumes to Albedo employees. Albedo is not responsible for any fees or overhead related to unsolicited resumes. Applicants must be a U.S. Person as defined under 22 CFR 120.62 #LI-Onsite Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Albedo, we'd rather hear from you. We care more about how you think than which boxes you check. We value people who do the math, make their assumptions explicit, and ask the annoying questions: what breaks, what's the failure mode, what has to be true for this to work? If that sounds like you, apply, even if you don't meet every line.
