Descripción de la vacante

Cowboy Space Corp. is seeking a Power Avionics Engineer to design, develop and integrate spacecraft power electronics supporting high power solar arrays and compute payloads.

You will collaborate with software, mechanical, solar, and propulsion teams to meet stringent performance standards for space use. The role requires a bachelor’s in electrical engineering and 3+ years in power electronics or avionics, with hands-on PCB design, schematic capture, lab testing, and fault-tolerant design

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience designing or testing power electronics or avionics systems.
• Strong understanding of power electronics fundamentals (DC-DC conversion, control systems, power distribution).
• Experience with schematic capture, PCB design, and board bring-up.
• Familiarity with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads) and debugging techniques.
• Experience working in high-reliability or hardware-focused environments.

Responsabilidades

• Own the design, development, and validation of spacecraft power electronics systems from concept through flight.
• Architect and implement power distribution systems, including power management, conversion, and regulation for spacecraft subsystems.
• Design and analyze DC-DC converters, battery management systems (BMS), and power control electronics for high-reliability environments.
• Develop and execute test plans for power systems, including functional, environmental, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
• Perform system-level analysis of power budgets, efficiency, thermal performance, and fault conditions.
• Implement protection and fault management strategies (overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit, latch-up protection).
• Partner closely with structures, thermal, software, and payload teams to ensure seamless integration of power systems.
• Support board bring-up, integration, and debugging of power electronics in lab and flight environments.
• Investigate anomalies and drive root cause analysis to improve system robustness and reliability.
• Support vehicle integration, pre-flight testing, and on-orbit performance analysis.
