Khalifa University is ranked 181st in the QS World University Rankings 2023, and the top University in the UAE, with a range of research and academic programs designed to address the entire range of strategic, scientific and industrial challenges facing our rapidly evolving world.

Its world-class faculty and state-of-the-art research facilities provide an unparalleled learning experience to students from the UAE and around the world. Our research and academic activities cover a broad range of disciplines in engineering, science and medicine through our three colleges.

Khalifa University’s research relates to key focus sectors of relevance to the UAE’s strategic economic growth and the technology platforms that serve as foundations for these sectors. The University’s research priorities are addressed in two categories “verticals” and “horizontals” which jointly cover specific industry and sector needs, technical platforms and expertise.

KU’s focus sectors are Clean and Renewable Energy, Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production, Water and Environment, Healthcare, Aerospace, and Supply Chain and Logistics. Research in these sectors is enhanced by our research platforms of Robotics, AI and Data Science, Information and Communication Technologies, and Advanced Materials and Manufacturing as well as Fundamental Sciences.

Yahsat Space Lab (YSL) at KU is looking for motivated candidates to join our team for the exciting opportunity in the role of: Spacecraft’s Electrical and Power System Research Scientist. The Satellite Electrical and Power System Research Engineer is responsible of ensuring the overall Satellite EPS systems provides the necessary technical functionality and performance required by the System. As a Satellite Electrical and Power Research Scientist he will be directly supporting Spacecrafts program development to drive and provide electrical systems architecture, engineering support, electrical & power units deliveries and satellite electrical hardware tests required, from proposal to in-flight testing, all along the project development in accordance with the project manager.

The Research Scientist will also supervise, together with the project team, graduate students to gain hands-on experience in developing satellites electrical and power systems. The current lab team is composed of several systems engineers and experts working mainly on Satellites Subsystems development.

• Design the spacecrafts electronics and power Subsystem (electrical, data, grounding, harness...) of spacecrafts in coordination with the project team (systems, structure, propulsion...)
• Space Segment procurement activities focusing on Spacecrafts Electrical Power and general electrical design, including the required test equipment.
• Participate in the electrical integration and the testing of different spacecraft’s modules, including the preparation of the bill of material, integration procedures for all active subsystems in collaboration with the system engineer.
• Design specific boards and harnesses for the spacecrafts (components selection, schematics and routing).
• Participate in development of the power management software with the embedded software team.
• Writing and maintaining technical documentation for electronic systems

• PhD from a reputable university in Electrical engineering, aerospace engineering or related discipline
• The candidate should have at least 2 years hands-on experience in space activities related to power sub-systems.
• Experience in engineering activities coordination with cost and planning.
