Staff Power Electronics Engineer
About The Position
As a Staff Power Electronics Engineer, you will design and validate the power conversion and power management electronics that enable Arrayâs radar sensors and satellite platforms. Your work will include high-efficiency DC/DC conversion, power distribution, sequencing, monitoring and telemetry, protection and fault handling, and the power interfaces that support high-power RF operation. You will take hardware from schematic design through prototyping, bring-up, characterization, and qualification, working closely with RF, mixed-signal, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers. The power electronics you develop will directly impact system efficiency, thermal performance, reliability, and on-orbit availability.
Requirements
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 7+ years of relevant experience
- Experience in electronics design, bring-up, and test
- Excellent teamwork and communication skills
- Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
- High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
Nice To Haves
- Masterâs degree or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, power electronics, or a related field
- Hands-on experience designing high-efficiency power conversion systems including synchronous buck/boost, isolated converters, and multi-rail power architectures
- Experience with power management and protection circuitry including hot-swap, eFuses, current limiting, OR-ing, inrush control, and fault detection
- Strong background in power integrity, transient response, stability/compensation, and low-noise rail design for mixed-signal and RF systems
- Experience with battery interfacing, peak-power buffering, and pulsed-load power delivery for high-power electronics
- Experience with analysis and simulation tools such as LTspice, SIMPLIS, and/or MATLAB
- Proficiency with schematic capture and design using Altium Designer (preferred); experience with Allegro and/or OrCAD is a plus
- Hands-on experience with test and characterization equipment such as oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power analyzers, and current probes
- Experience taking power electronics hardware from prototype through qualification and environmental testing, including working with manufacturing partners and test teams
- Experience with EMC requirements and EMI mitigation techniques in power electronics systems
Responsibilities
- Develop advanced power electronics subsystems, from architecture to manufacturing
- Own power subsystem definition and design trade studies, balancing efficiency, transient performance, thermal behavior, and fault tolerance
- Select components, capture schematics, and design complex power assemblies including DC/DC conversion, sequencing, protection, and monitoring
- Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, characterization, qualification, and test efforts for power electronics
- Work closely with RF, mixed-signal, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to deliver reliable radar sensor and spacecraft power systems
