Who We Are:

The Spacecraft Development Department is a group of innovative engineers, program managers, and technicians developing unique spacecraft solutions for challenging space missions. We design and fabricate custom solutions to explore the boundaries of science or solve complex problems not yet delivered by industry to accommodate a variety of payloads.

Objectives of this Role:

• Work in multidisciplinary project teams to design, analyze, and build cutting edge spacecraft to enable the next generation of spaceflight exploration.
• Provide technical leadership for spacecraft electrical power subsystem development across the full program life cycle.
• Interface with customers and support design reviews to justify design decisions.
• Lead R&D and promotional efforts to develop and implement new technologies.
• Provide innovative technical solutions to design challenges.
• Provide training and mentorship to lower career-level staff.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Develop electrical power subsystem requirements and verification planning.
• Lead analyses necessary for the development of a spacecraft electrical power subsystem at unit and spacecraft levels
• Lead design and fabrication efforts for spacecraft electrical power subsystems.
• Mentor junior engineers and develop best practices to aid development of spacecraft.
• Develop technical reports for mission status and materials for internal and external reviews, tests hardware, propose and preform internal research to improve technology and establish competitive advantage.

Requirements:

• Requires a Bachelors or a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 12+ years: Design experience required with demonstrated experience as a spacecraft subsystem lead.
• Assembly, Integration and Test experience preferred.
• Spacecraft or space system development experience for NASA, DoD, or commercial applications.
• Demonstrated technical excellence through a variety of challenging assignments, work under moderate to minimal supervision, and demonstrated ability for having accountability for completing assignments.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
