TL;DR · Power DVT Engineer

As a Power DVT Engineer on the Power DVT Team, you will manage the complete design verification lifecycle for power electronics systems intended for low Earth orbit. You will bridge design intent and flight-ready hardware by developing comprehensive test strategies, executing rigorous validation campaigns, and collaborating with cross-functional teams including SI/PI, FPGA, and firmware groups. Your daily responsibilities include creating Design Verification Plans, implementing Design for Testability principles, developing test fixtures and automation scripts, and performing data analysis to ensure space-grade requirements are met. You will utilize software simulation tools to model circuits and troubleshoot electrical failures while mentoring junior engineers. The role focuses on the technical challenge of ensuring satellite power systems survive the harsh environment of space to support global broadband connectivity through robust hardware testing and automated verification methodologies.

What you'll do

  • Develop comprehensive Design Verification Plans (DVPs) for power electronics systems and subsystem testing.
  • Implement Design for Testability (DFT) principles including test point accessibility and boundary scan.
  • Create and maintain automated test scripts, methodologies, and hardware fixtures for system validation.
  • Use simulation tools to model circuits, analyze performance, and identify potential failure modes.
  • Troubleshoot electrical failures and develop cost-effective solutions to address root causes.
  • Manage requirements traceability and perform data analysis to verify system requirements.
  • Lead small groups of engineers and provide technical mentorship during the DVT execution process.
  • Coordinate test resources and schedule activities between engineering teams, technicians, and lab facilities.

What we're looking for

  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • At least 2 years of experience in hardware design and validation of components, subsystems, and systems.
  • Experience developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures.
  • Experience building test automation frameworks and tools.
  • Hands-on experience testing power electronics and high-speed electrical systems.
  • Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and technical problem-solving skills.
  • Proven ability to lead teams, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate across cross-functional teams.
  • Preferred: Master's degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering and 5+ years of aerospace hardware validation experience.
