Hands-On Spacecraft Power Systems Engineer II

Loud Solutions; California; On-site; USD 130,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Loud Solutions seeks an Electrical Engineer II to own the spacecraft EPS/PCDU power subsystem, taking it from a small demonstrator to flight. This hands-on IC role requires working with very high-voltage systems and battery health in space environments.

You will design and validate high‑voltage PMAD, manage battery health, and guide hardware through breadboarding, PCB layout, bench tests, and qualification for flight readiness.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with high‑voltage power systems in space hardware.
• 4+ years of electrical engineering experience on spacecraft or space flight hardware.
• Ability to own electrical hardware end to end—from schematic/PCB to bench test and qualification.
• Experience designing PMAD for operation in vacuum and space plasma conditions.
• Comfortable working as a hands‑on IC in a fast-moving small team.

Responsibilities

• Own the EPS/PCDU: power generation, conditioning, distribution and battery systems.
• Design high‑voltage PMAD for vacuum with plasma charging and breakdown considerations.
• Manage high‑voltage battery health and ensure hardware compatibility.
• Translate a smallsat demonstrator to flight via breadboarding, schematics and PCB layout.
• Lead AI&T and environmental qualification of electrical hardware.
