We’re looking to expand our team across the board.

We are seeking an Electrical Power Systems Engineer who takes full ownership of the spacecraft power subsystem—from design through on-orbit operations—and thrives in hands-on problem-solving on the production floor. The ideal candidate is a rigorous systems thinker and technical leader who proactively identifies, troubleshoots, and resolves electrical power system issues across the full lifecycle of spacecraft development and operations. You’ll be embedded in a fast-paced environment, working side-by-side with hardware, systems, and production engineers to build and test flight hardware. You must be capable of quickly diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues in real-time and driving solutions across disciplines to keep production and test timelines on track.

Responsibilities

• Own the electrical power subsystem for one or more spacecraft missions, from system definition through assembly, test, and operations
• Act as the go-to expert for electrical power system anomalies—drive root cause analysis and resolution on the production floor, in test environments, and during flight operations
• Collaborate closely with manufacturing, integration & test (I&T), and systems engineering teams to ensure smooth handoffs and design-to-production fidelity
• Develop and manage subsystem requirements, test plans, procedures, and documentation
• Interface with supply chain and procurement to ensure delivery of quality components aligned with schedule needs
• Represent the EPS team in internal and external design reviews, customer meetings, and risk discussions
• Proactively improve team processes, tools, and test methodologies to streamline design, validation, and troubleshooting
  
  

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics or equivalent degree or experience
• Experience with electrical circuit or system design
• Able to communicate technical issues and drive resolutions across engineering and production teams
• Comfortable performing root cause investigations using lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, etc.)
• Must be able to obtain and maintain U.S. security clearance
  
  

DESIRED TECHNICAL SPECIALTIES

• Understanding of space environment: Radiation, surface charging, thermal, outgassing, etc.
• Understanding of all spacecraft subsystems
• Understanding of spacecraft design and operational life cycle
• Understanding of different spacecraft power system architectures
• Understanding of fundamental principles of power regulation design at the circuit level
• Knowledge of spacecraft grounding best practice
• Experience with electronic testing equipment, including oscilloscopes, power supplies, DMMs, etc.
