Axiom Space is building for beyond, guided by the vision of a thriving home in space that benefits every human, everywhere. The leading provider of human spaceflight services and developer of human-rated space infrastructure, Axiom Space operates end-to-end missions to the International Space Station today while developing its successor, Axiom Station – a permanent commercial destination in low-Earth orbit that will sustain human growth off the planet and bring untold benefits back home. 

Axiom Space fosters a diverse environment inclusive of all perspectives. We are the pioneers of commercial space, leading the transformation of low-Earth orbit into a global space marketplace. Our mission-driven team is seeking a bold and dynamic Modeling & Simulation Engineer - Electrical Power who is fueled by problem-solving, continuously curious, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond. 

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and implement simulation models for simulation of Axiom spacecraft with a focus on electrical power hardware and software for generation, storage, and distribution.
• Implement model control logic by collaborating with hardware and flight software developers.
• Discover and resolve design interface and integration issues wherever they exist.
• Tune simulation models with high-fidelity analysis results or test data provided by hardware owners.
• Create unit and integration tests to assess simulation model accuracy and performance.
• Work with simulation users to create and execute tests for coupled flight software and simulation testing.
