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, firmware, and system integration 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 identify failure modes. This role requires strong electrical engineering fundamentals to troubleshoot electrical failures and ensure space-grade requirements compliance for satellite power systems, ultimately validating hardware from subsystem testing through functional and system performance validation.

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 develop cost-effective solutions to address root causes.
  • Perform data analysis on test results and maintain requirements traceability throughout the testing lifecycle.
  • Lead small groups of DVT engineers and provide technical guidance to less experienced staff.
  • Coordinate with engineering teams, test labs, and technicians to manage testing resources and schedules.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related fields.
  • Strong Electrical Engineering fundamentals.
  • Background in hardware design and validation of components, subsystems, and systems.
  • Experience communicating clearly and concisely with leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee or granted asylum.
  • Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures (preferred).
  • 1+ years of experience building test automation frameworks and tools (preferred).
  • Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates.
