Senior Space Power Analog Design Engineer

Senior Power Engineer Analogue Design | Space / Aerospace | Guildford | Hybrid

Primary role is an Analog Design Engineer for Space Projects, including design, analysis, development, verification, test and delivery of the power subsystem/modules.

• Requirements capture and derivation from top level requirements to module level requirements
• Design and delivery of Analog/Power Electronics Modules in Spacecraft that meet these requirements within the agreed schedule/cost
• Management and verification of these requirements
• Carrying out the required analysis to verify that these requirements will be met over the mission lifetime including FMECA, WCA, PSA, Reliability Analysis, etc.
• Specifying and carrying out the verification tests on hardware
• Authoring of technical documents (including test/verification plans, procedures and technical descriptions)
• Typical Analog/Power Electronics Equipment in a spacecraft includes Battery Charge/Discharge Regulators, Power Distribution Modules, Relay/Activation Modules, Drive Electronics for motors/mechanism, DC-DC converters (range from 5W-1kW), Heater/Propulsion Control Boards, etc.

• Analog/Power Electronics Design experience, ideally in the Space or Aerospace Industries

• BTEC / Degree in Electronics or equivalent
• Excellent understanding of analog and power electronics
• Familiarity with microprocessor and FPGA interfacing
• Wide knowledge of electronic components, preferably for a space environment
• Wide experience with schematic capture and simulation software (i.e. Mentor Graphics, OrCAD PSPICE, etc.)

An exciting opportunity to make a difference within the industry delivering highly innovative power solutions for spacecraft missions. This role involves responsibility for undertaking the design, analysis, development, verification and delivery of power system and energy conversion solutions into different missions, including power subsystem lead responsibility for those missions.

This key role will often sit within the core team of a satellite mission interacting with other technical leads across multiple disciplines to generate the technical solutions for innovative projects.
