Qualifications

• B.S. in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in spacecraft systems engineering, electrical power systems, avionics integration, or complex high‑reliability electrical systems.
• Working knowledge of EPS architectures, power electronics, batteries, solar arrays, protection/switching, harnessing, electrical interfaces, grounding/bonding, or EMI/EMC.
• Demonstrated experience writing and managing requirements, performing architecture trades, defining interfaces, and developing verification plans.
• Ability to interface with power-budget owners and review operating‑mode analyses, block diagrams, interface documentation, and integrated test scenarios.
• Ability to lead cross‑functional technical closure in an environment with evolving architecture, aggressive schedules, and multiple stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own the Electrical Systems and EPS requirements baseline, architecture products, interface definition, technical‑budget integration, verification strategy, and closure evidence.
• Derive, allocate, and manage verifiable electrical‑system requirements, and maintain traceability among power and data block diagrams, equipment lists, operating modes, interfaces, analyses, schematics, and verification events.
• Interface with electrical power‑budget owners for nominal, peak, transient, contingency, safe‑mode, beginning‑of‑life, and end‑of‑life cases; reconcile assumptions among DRM, PEL/MEL, thermal loads, propulsion, payload duty cycles, and radiation degradation.
• Lead electrical architecture trades involving bus voltage, battery topology, solar‑array sizing, PCDU functions, load switching, redundancy, cross‑strapping, umbilicals.
• Lead requirements, interface, verification, and test‑readiness reviews, and coordinate anomaly resolution with the responsible hardware and test teams.
• Create integrated verification plans and cross‑reference matrices; support flatsat, hardware‑in‑the‑loop, subsystem, spacecraft, environmental, and mission‑scenario testing and drive discrepancies to closure.
• Manage electrical‑system risks, decisions, assumptions, technical performance measures, configuration changes, and change‑impact assessments across requirements, models, diagrams, ICDs, equipment lists, hardware definition, and test procedures.
