Job description
About the company
Our client is a space technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the electrical power design for a spacecraft, covering generation, conditioning, distribution and battery systems, and take high-voltage hardware from early prototype through qualification and integration testing. The role suits an experienced space electrical engineer who can work independently on hands-on hardware problems.
What you'll do
- Own the electrical power subsystem for a spacecraft, spanning power generation, conditioning, distribution and batteries.
- Design high-voltage power distribution hardware that performs reliably in vacuum, accounting for charging, plasma and electrical breakdown effects.
- Monitor battery health for high-voltage packs and keep electrical components working together across the vehicle.
- Move hardware from prototype to flight using breadboarding, schematic capture, PCB layout, bench testing and debugging.
- Lead electrical hardware through assembly, integration, testing and environmental qualification.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Several years of electrical engineering experience in the space industry.
- Hands-on experience with spacecraft power systems, including solar arrays, power control units, battery management and high-voltage distribution.
- Background in advancing electronics through structured design reviews and controlled-change qualification programs.
- Prior work developing or validating high-voltage power circuitry for orbital conditions, covering vacuum breakdown, corona discharge and insulation.
- Familiarity with space environment design standards such as charging, radiation, thermal-vacuum testing and EMI/EMC.
- Experience with spacecraft electrical power system design and power management and distribution architecture.
- U.S. citizen or green card holder.
Bonus points
- Prior involvement with small spacecraft prototypes or technology demonstrators.
