Power Systems Engineer, Starship Avionics

What you'll do

• Provide engineering expertise in the design, system analysis, and testing of high voltage systems.
• Design and optimize power distribution systems including lithium-ion batteries and DC-DC converters.
• Perform trade studies for electrical power systems and sub-systems to develop technical requirements.
• Define and execute verification testing and analysis for electrical power systems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to manufacture new power electronics hardware.
• Model, simulate, and test electrical power systems for reliability and fault tolerance.
• Conduct in-lab impedance and loop-gain measurements for power components.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.
• 1+ years of experience with high voltage systems, lithium-ion batteries, solid state load switches, DC-DC power converters, or power distribution.
• Ability to work extended hours or weekends as needed for mission critical deadlines.
• Must be a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee (or eligible for such status) to meet ITAR requirements.
• Experience with DC-DC power converters, electric motors, lithium-ion batteries, or solid state load switches (preferred).
• Experience with electric drivetrains in aircraft flight control surfaces, electric vehicle traction systems, or similar applications (preferred).
• Experience in modeling, simulation, and testing of electrical power systems (preferred).
• Understanding of design for fault tolerance, reliability, and packaging for harsh environments (preferred).
