About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Satellite Electrical Power System (EPS) Design Engineer to support the concept, detailed design, analysis, verification, and integration of electrical power subsystems for current and next-generation remote sensing and communications satellites.

The role focuses on the design and development of solar arrays, power-conditioning units, batteries, power distribution, and regulation systems, while working closely with multidisciplinary teams across payload, spacecraft bus, thermal, structural, avionics, and mission systems.

The successful candidate will contribute to the development of reliable, high-performance EPS solutions throughout the spacecraft lifecycle, from early architecture and trade studies through integration, launch, and on-orbit operations.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a senior spacecraft electrical power systems engineer with strong experience designing and integrating EPS architectures for satellite platforms.

The ideal candidate can work across the full EPS lifecycle, from power architecture and trade studies through detailed design, modeling, verification, spacecraft integration, launch, and on-orbit support.

Strong candidates will combine deep power electronics and spacecraft EPS expertise with hands-on systems integration, analytical problem-solving, and the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

  • Interface with spacecraft bus teams across: Power Thermal Structures Avionics
  • Develop and maintain high-fidelity power models for mission analysis, including: Orbit raising Station keeping De-orbit
  • Develop tools supporting power efficiency and optimization.
  • Support Phase 0 and pre-Phase A activities.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the spacecraft lifecycle.

Integration & Verification

  • Author Verification Plans, Test Matrices, and Validation Procedures for unit and EPS subsystem testing.
  • Support ground-test and integration campaigns.
  • Support: Fueling activities Thermal-vacuum testing EMI/EMC testing Spacecraft-level integration
  • Analyze test data and support anomaly resolution.
  • Close out anomalies and update design baselines.
  • Support flight software integration.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

  • Mentor and guide junior and intermediate systems engineers and interns.
  • Lead or support multidisciplinary engineering activities.
  • Serve as a technical liaison with customers, partners, and external vendors.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Contribute to engineering knowledge bases, processes, and standards development.

Configuration, Documentation & Standards

  • Maintain EPS design and safety standards.
  • Ensure engineering analyses, software, documentation, and deliverables are properly version controlled within the PLM environment.
  • Support spacecraft design reviews, including: SRR PDR CDR MRR/TRR
  • Support technology road-mapping and innovation activities.

Launch, On-Orbit & Operations Support

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
