Electrical Design Engineer

Job Duties:

• Design and analyze high-efficiency DC/DC converters, switching regulators, and power switching circuits incorporating GaN FETs and other advanced semiconductor technologies.
• Perform detailed circuit analysis including worst-case, stability, and thermal assessments to ensure compliance with mission requirements.
• Create schematics and documentation using the OrCAD tool suite and manage PCB layout and design reviews in collaboration with layout engineers.
• Support component selection suitable for space applications, including derating, radiation tolerance, and reliability considerations.
• Generate and maintain design documentation, analyses, and review data packages for internal and customer reviews
• Support hardware bring-up and validation testing and support integration with spacecraft electrical power and avionics subsystems.
• Collaborate with systems, manufacturing, and test engineering to ensure design maturity and production readiness.

Requirements:

• BS Degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years of experience designing electronic circuits using industry ECAD design tools.
• Experience with analog circuit design, including isolated and non-isolated switched-mode power supply (SMPS) using discrete components; common and differential mode power filtering; active filter and amplifier design; high-side FET drives with monolithic or discrete solutions; and GaN FET experience.
• Experience with OrCAD X for schematics capture and collaboration with PCB layout Engineers.
• Experience with SPICE-based simulation tools.
• Experience working with SMPS, Load Switches, Op-Amps and Comparators.
• Experience with FPGA, microcontroller, or microprocessor-based control and telemetry interfaces.
• Ability to travel as needed, up to 10% on average.

Desired Skills:

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 8 years of experience developing power electronics boards for space-based electrical power system (EPS) products.
• Demonstrated expertise in designing DC/DC converters, switching regulators, and power conditioning circuits using GaN FETs or similar high-efficiency switching devices.
• Proficiency with OrCAD X, Allegro X, and Altium Designer tools for schematics capture and PCB layout.
• Proficiency performing worst-case circuit analysis, load regulation, and stability assessments.
• Proficiency with SPICE-based simulation tools (e.g., PSPICE, LTspice) for transient and steady-state analysis.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC design practices and grounding/shielding techniques.
• Knowledge of derating, radiation effects, and parts stress analysis methodologies.
• Demonstrated experience performing board bring-up and hardware validation testing through test procedure execution.
• Experience methodically troubleshooting and resolving issues and anomalies in accordance with root cause corrective action (RCCA) process.
• Experience supporting hardware test, verification, and troubleshooting at the unit and subsystem level.
• Experience leading electronics design efforts throughout the product lifecycle.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to generate clear design documentation and review materials.
• Ability to distill complex technical data into digestible presentation material for customers and executive leadership.
