  • Familiarity with EPS analyses, including energy balance, voltage drop, system stability, failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMECA), fault tree analysis (FTA), and power integrity (PI) analysis.
  • Experience in managing EPS supplier relationships.
  • Excellent teamwork skills, with the ability to work collaboratively and embrace diverse perspectives.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to effectively articulate highly technical concepts to a diverse audience.
  • Strong understanding of spacecraft grounding and bonding design.
  • Familiarity with spacecraft EPS component environmental testing (TVAC, shock/vibration, EMI).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience architecting electrical power systems for human-rated spacecraft.
  • Proven experience architecting >10 kW, >100 V spacecraft electrical power systems.
  • Spacecraft flight hardware development experience in multiple of the following: battery, solar array, power distribution, power conversion, wire harness.
  • Full life cycle (proposal to orbit) spacecraft flight hardware design experience.
  • Proven experience in system-level and circuit-level modeling and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Depth of knowledge in electrical power quality requirements and inter-vehicle power compatibility.
  • Familiarity with spacecraft electrical module analyses, including Worst Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA), part stress analysis (PSA), signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA).

Compensation:

The compensation range for this position is $156,910.50-$219,674.70, depending on location.
