No C2C or Staffing Partnership

We are seeking a curious, motivated Systems Engineer II to support the implementation of end-to-end power subsystem solutions, including supporting the delivery of power hardware and operations. As a systems engineer, you will be involved in all phases of the mission life cycle including technical concept development, hardware implementation, delivery, and operations. A systems engineer is highly motivated and creative with the ability to oversee, balance and integrate technical and program-related issues in an end-to-end manner to ensure that the total system satisfies the project and mission requirements.

Tasks include but are not limited to:

• Develop and manage power system and electrical system requirements
• Develop and execute V&V plans on lead projects/missions
• Develop power system architectures and power subsystem definition on new mission proposals
• Perform power system sizing & resource management
• Develop and document electrical interfaces across a spacecraft to ensure a self-compatible, robust design implementation and to support the fabrication of flight harnesses
• Work effectively with power designers in defining optimum architectures
• Perform architectural trades to optimize systems across technical, schedule, and cost constraints
• Develop grounding diagrams in support of a compliant EMI/EMC approach
• Produce detailed, complex, and accurate design products in support of hardware development and to document the as-built configuration
• Present complex power system concepts to different levels of line management and project teams
• Understand and follow standards for power and electrical systems engineering architecture, design, and execution including clear expectations for quality

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or related technical subject area, typically with a minimum of 3 years of related work experience, or Masters in a similar discipline with a minimum of 1 years of related work experience, or PhD in a similar discipline.
• Extensive understanding of one or more of the following areas: Analog Electronics, Controls, Power Systems Design, Systems Engineering, Electrical Systems Engineering, Reliability Engineering, Integration and Test
• Extensive understanding of principles, theories, concepts and techniques in Power Systems Engineering
• Experience in power electronic design including schematics, reliability analysis, board layout, and testing
• Experience delivering flight hardware, supporting ATLO operations, and in-flight operations.
• Extensive knowledge of grounding, EMI/EMC, harness design, electrical compatibility, signal integrity, safety and inhibit architectures, battery management, pyros and propulsion drivers, and multi-stage vehicles
• Knowledge related to the development, testing, integration, and use of solar arrays and batteries for space applications
• Extensive experience with standard electronic test equipment: oscilloscope, power supply, logic analyzer, etc.
• Ability to troubleshoot and diagnose problems to determine the root cause
• Experience in power converter topologies, power switching, and closed-loop power control systems and their implementation using microcontrollers and/or FPGAs
• Excellent oral and interpersonal skills
• Recent demonstrated experience in defining and delivering hardware.
• Extensive knowledge on the observables in electronic control systems and data acquisition systems.
