Description
system architecture
power design
circuit simulation
schematic design
vendor management
mass production
In this role, you’ll help shape the design of the world’s first formation-flying radar imaging constellation, which will deliver a quantum-leap in humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our ever-changing world.
As a power management design engineer, you will lead the definition, design, prototyping, validation, and production of critical power management systems for radar, communication, and satellite. You will be collaborating with RF, communications, and radar engineers to rapidly move from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.
We will conduct three interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish.
The hardware engineering team is responsible for the analysis and design of our satellite and ground-station electronics, which spans the range of radar, communications, power management and processing subsystems.
- Define system architecture and component specifications for efficient power distribution and management
- Lead the end-to-end design and development of power management systems from concept to production
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including antenna, RF, digital communication, and radar engineers, to ensure power management designs meet system-level requirements
- Perform detail design, create schematics, ensure proper layout, and work with vendors and manufacturers to deliver production hardware
- Work with contract manufacturers for mass production, testing, calibration and integration of power management systems into our satellites
- Design and simulate analog and digital circuits for power regulation, conversion, and protection, including thermal and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) considerations
