    Job Description

    The Role
    You will be responsible for designing power electronics for the highest-power Hall thrusters ever deployed in space.

    You will be able to develop a broad range of power electronics devices, including high-voltage power conversion components and power distribution architectures, capable of operating in the harshest space environments.

    You will prototype high power devices and execute environmental and performance testing to refine your designs.

    Following this, you will qualify your hardware for flight and begin designing even more capable devices for future generations of spacecraft.

    In your first two years you will have flown your power devices in space and developed novel designs across all power domains.

    This role can be adapted to an individual contributor or leadership role based on the candidate's goals and qualifications.

    Responsibilities
    Develop power electronics for a novel 20kW Hall thruster, including high voltage power conversion and power distribution devices

    Design of accurate telemetry and analog circuits for propulsion power electronics

    Serve as Responsible Engineer for flight hardware from conception through flight

    Qualify your designs through environmental testing including vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum testing

    Conduct radiation testing and ensure circuit designs survive worst case environments

    System level testing design and execution with the thruster and beyond

    Ensure data acquisitions systems capture all relevant telemetry for tests

    Work with software team to develop firmware

    Help to grow and manage the propulsion power processing unit (PPU) team

    Qualifications
    Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent combination of education and experience

    5+ years of professional experience in the design, development, test, and evaluation of power electronics (research and extracurricular academic projects qualify)

    Expertise in PCB schematic capture and board layout, ideally using Altium

    Experience with testing and debugging your own circuitry

    Experience with general lab equipment for board bring-up (oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.)

    Nice to Have
    Experience with flying hardware in space

    Experience with high voltage (>100V), high power (>10kW) DC-DC power conversion systems, including voltage/current mode control and compensation design

    Proficient with circuit simulation tools such as LTspice

    Experience with environmental testing for space electronics such as thermal testing, vibration testing, TVAC testing, shock testing, radiation testing, and EMI/EMC testing

    Experience with power stage component selection for use in radiation environments

    Knowledge of filter design for stability, noise rejection, and surviving threat signals

    Experience programming in C/C++, Python, or Matlab


    Compensation and Benefits:
    Base salary range for this role is $125,000 - $200,000 + equity in the company

    Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
