San Carlos, California, United States Aetherflux Full time
About Aetherflux

Aetherflux is a pioneering company in the field of 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.

Electrical Engineer Role

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.

Key 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

We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Engineer with a strong background in electrical design, preferably in aerospace, satellite, or optical systems.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field, and 3-6 years of experience in electrical design.

Key qualifications include:

  • 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

Preferred qualifications include a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, and 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) is also desirable.

Experience working with cross-functional engineering teams, particularly in optical and mechanical disciplines, is also preferred.
