San Carlos, United States Aetherflux Full time

About Aetherflux

Aetherflux is pioneering space-based solar power technology, focusing on designing satellites equipped with high-power laser systems to beam energy from space to Earth. We are building a dynamic team of engineers passionate about working at the forefront of optical, laser, and mechanical system design. Join us in revolutionizing energy delivery using cutting-edge technologies.


Overview

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and integration of electrical systems supporting advanced optical and laser technologies. This role will require hands-on work with both electrical and optical components to ensure seamless integration of high-power laser systems and payloads for Aetherflux satellites. You will collaborate with optical, mechanical, and systems engineers to develop solutions that meet rigorous performance standards for space applications.


Responsibilities

  • Design and develop electrical systems for laser and optical subsystems, focusing on power management, control systems, and signal processing.
  • Collaborate with optics engineers to integrate electrical systems with high-power laser platforms, ensuring precise control and alignment.
  • Develop and maintain electrical schematics, PCB designs, and wiring diagrams for laser systems and satellite subsystems.
  • Conduct testing and validation of electrical systems in the optics lab, including integration with optical components such as detectors, sensors, and laser drivers.
  • Perform troubleshooting and debugging of electrical hardware, ensuring robust operation under various environmental conditions.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (optics, mechanical, and thermal engineers) to ensure seamless integration and system-level functionality.
  • Maintain detailed technical documentation, including system requirements, design specifications, and test plans.
  • Support environmental testing and validation, including thermal-vacuum, vibration, and electromagnetic interference tests to ensure space-qualification of electrical subsystems.
  • Participate in customer and internal design reviews, providing technical insights and recommendations for system improvements.
  • Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends, and continuously improve the design and development process in the optics lab.


Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3-6 years of experience in electrical design, preferably in aerospace, satellite, or optical systems.
  • Experience with PCB design, signal processing, and power management systems.
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and laser drivers.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and experience debugging electrical systems in lab environments.
  • Proficiency with CAD tools for electrical design (e.g., Altium, OrCAD).
  • Familiarity with control systems, sensors, and their integration into optical platforms.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Experience with high-power laser systems, including design, integration, and testing of laser control systems.
  • Familiarity with space qualification standards and environmental testing for aerospace applications (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation).
  • Experience working with cross-functional engineering teams, particularly in optical and mechanical disciplines.
  • Knowledge of embedded systems and firmware development for control of optical and electrical systems.
