Electrical Engineer, Sr. Staff

Redwire Space • Littleton, CO

68d • $145,000 - $182,218

About The Position

Redwire Space Missions LLC in Littleton, CO has an exciting opportunity for an Electrical Engineer, Sr. Staff. In this role, you will own the design, development, integration, and lifecycle support of spacecraft Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) hardware. This includes power generation, energy storage, distribution, and conversion. The engineer will define EPS architectures, requirements, and interfaces; perform design and analysis; and lead verification and validation efforts. This role requires hands-on experience with spacecraft power systems and close collaboration with systems engineering, avionics, software, and I&T teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field (Master's preferred).
• Experience in power subsystem development and analysis.
• Proven experience with power generation, storage, and distribution architecture trades and baseline establishment for spacecraft.
• Experience with battery systems, including sizing, charging, discharging, and thermal management.
• Familiarity with solar array sizing, cell performance, and degradation analysis.
• Experience creating power budgets, efficiency models, and load analyses.
• Proficiency with simulation and analysis tools (e.g., SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, or equivalent).
• Knowledge of spacecraft avionics and bus interfaces (LVDS, MIL-STD-1553, CAN, SpaceWire, Ethernet).
• Familiarity with high-reliability aerospace hardware design and derating guidelines (NASA, ECSS, MIL-STD).
• Strong troubleshooting, fault isolation, and lab test skills.
• Excellent communication and ability to work across multi-disciplinary teams.

Nice To Haves

• Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering with specialization in power electronics.
• Experience with advanced energy storage systems (Li-ion, solid-state batteries, supercapacitors).
• Knowledge of power management for deep-space or cislunar missions.
• Familiarity with radiation effects on power electronics and mitigation techniques.
• Experience with modular and scalable EPS designs for smallsats and large spacecraft.
• Knowledge of standards and guidelines (NASA-STD-4009, ECSS-E-ST-20, MIL-STD-1547).
• Experience supporting formal design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR, FRR) and customer technical interchange meetings.
• Proficiency in design of power electronics (DC/DC converters, regulators, fault protection circuits, switching systems).
• Hands-on experience with test equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, electronic loads, spectrum/network analyzers).
• Experience designing for commercial space or new space applications.
• Proficiency with industry-standard electrical design tools, such as Altium Designer or Mentor Graphics Xpedition.
• Cross-Functional engineering experience highly desired.

Responsibilities

• Own spacecraft Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) hardware design and performance from concept through delivery.
• Define EPS architectures, specifications, and interfaces with spacecraft bus and payload subsystems, including power generation, energy storage, power distribution and control.
• Develop power budgets, load analyses, state of charge analyses, and fault tolerance studies for missions.
• Support spacecraft integration and test with EPS checkouts, simulations, and anomaly resolution.
• Perform analysis of efficiency, stability, reliability, derating, and worst-case performance.
• Lead or support development and review of interface control documents (ICDs) for EPS hardware.
• Specify and procure EPS hardware and provide supplier technical oversight.
• Support environmental testing and verification in thermal vacuum, vibration, and EMI/EMC environments.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to electrical engineering best practices.

Benefits

• Highly competitive benefits package.
• Commitment to core values of Integrity, Innovation, Impact, Inclusion, and Excellence.
