TL;DR · Power DVT Engineer

As a Power DVT Engineer on the Power DVT Team, you will own the complete design verification lifecycle for power electronics systems destined for Low Earth Orbit. You will bridge design intent and flight-ready hardware by developing comprehensive test strategies, executing rigorous validation campaigns, and driving cross-functional collaboration across power design, SI/PI, FPGA, and firmware teams. Your daily work involves developing Design Verification Plans, applying Design for Testability principles, and creating test methodologies, fixtures, and scripts. You will use software simulation tools to model circuits, analyze performance, and troubleshoot electrical failures. Key skills include hardware design, building test automation frameworks, and testing high-speed electrical systems. You will ensure satellite power systems meet stringent space-grade requirements while mentoring junior engineers and managing requirements traceability for avionics systems.

What you'll do

  • Develop comprehensive Design Verification Plans (DVPs) for power electronics systems.
  • Apply Design for Testability (DFT) principles to ensure test point accessibility and built-in self-test capabilities.
  • Develop and maintain test methodologies, fixtures, and automated test scripts.
  • Use software simulation tools to model circuits, analyze performance, and identify failure modes.
  • Troubleshoot electrical failures and propose cost-effective solutions to address root causes.
  • Execute system and board-level test plans while maintaining requirements traceability.
  • Lead small groups of DVT engineers and provide technical guidance to junior staff.
  • Collect test data, perform analysis, and document results for cross-functional reviews.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee or granted asylum.
  • 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.
  • Experience with cross-functional product development from concept to production.
  • Hands-on experience testing power electronics and high-speed electrical systems.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent (preferred).
  • Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates.
