We are seeking a Satellite Electrical Power Systems Engineer to lead the design, development, and delivery of the electrical power subsystem for our satellite missions. You will own the end:to:end power system architecture - from energy generation and storage to power conditioning and distribution - ensuring reliable, efficient operation throughout the mission lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
:
Define and maintain power subsystem requirements, architecture, and interface control documents (ICDs).
:
Design and analyse solar array, battery, and power regulation/distribution systems to meet mission needs.
:
Conduct power budget analysis and sizing for all mission phases, including contingency scenarios.
:
Perform modelling, simulation, and worst:case analyses to verify system robustness.
:
Select and qualify components for ULEO space environments, including radiation tolerance, atomic oxygen exposure, and thermal considerations.
:
Support manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing of the power subsystem.
:
Develop and execute subsystem:level and integrated system:level test plans (functional, thermal vacuum, vibration).
:
Lead power subsystem reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR) and support system:level design and readiness reviews.
:
Interface with all spacecraft subsystems and engage in system:level trade:studies.
:
Support launch and early orbit operations, including on:orbit power performance monitoring and troubleshooting.
Fundamental Requirements
:
:3 years of experience in spacecraft or satellite power subsystem engineering, with at least one smallsat:class mission delivered to orbit.
:
Strong technical knowledge of spacecraft electrical power systems, including solar array design, battery technology, and power electronics.
:
Experience with power budget modelling, simulation tools, and hardware test campaigns.
:
Familiarity with space:qualified components and radiation/thermal design considerations.
:
Hands:on experience in integration and testing in cleanroom environments.
:
Excellent problem:solving skills and the ability to work in agile, cross:disciplinary teams.
:
Strong communication skills to work with suppliers,
