You will collaborate with mechanical, thermal, software, and harnessing teams to ensure robust electrical integration, mentor engineers, and advance safety and reliability for spaceflight

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering or closely related field.
• Minimum 12 years of professional experience designing high-voltage/high-power electrical systems.
• Experience with power electronics, distribution systems, motor control, aerospace or safety-critical hardware.
• Hands-on experience with 100VDC+ systems and high-current distribution.
• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC for high-power systems.
• Leadership ability to drive complex technical efforts.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture, design, and development of LTV EPS and vehicle power electronics.
• Design and analyze 120V-class HV power distribution, conditioning, protection, and control circuits.
• Own electrical hardware development from concept to flight including requirements, schematic, PCB, reviews, test, and integration.
• Develop vehicle-level power architectures for batteries, motor drives, energy storage, and charging interfaces.
• Lead design addressing motor-driven loads, regenerative braking, transient suppression, back-EMF, and power quality.
• Perform trade studies balancing performance, reliability, safety, mass, schedule, and cost.
• Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, software, systems, and harnessing teams for robust integration.
• PCB layout with creepage/clearance, EMI/EMC, thermal, and manufacturability considerations.
• Develop analyses for power budgets, efficiency, thermal, fault response, derating, and reliability.
• Support hardware bring-up, testing, EMI/ENV testing, and flight integration activities.
• Define electrical requirements and verification approaches for HV/HPS subsystems.
• Interface with suppliers on power electronics, energy storage, motors, and related hardware.
• Provide technical leadership during design reviews, readiness reviews, and customer meetings.
• Mentor engineers and establish best practices for HV power system development.
