Will have expert knowledge of concepts, practices and procedures of assigned product or program. May lead a team of engineers on assigned projects.

• Model and simulate circuit or system performance of dc-dc power converters and filters using analytical tools
• Detailed design and analysis of discrete implementation of power converter control circuitry that is resistant to performance degradation due to radiation effects
• Filter modeling, analysis and design
• System integration, test and development of DC power conversion hardware for spaceflight and high-rel applications
• Investigate and evaluate new power topologies and control for spaceflight applications
• Work with interdisciplinary teams to ensure that the designs meet the customers' electrical, environmental as well as internal manufacturing requirements and standards
• Support internal concurrent design criteria
• Function as the technical interface for customers and attend technical meetings as required. Support specification development with customers
• Translate market specifications into design requirements. Generate design documentation required for prototype and/or production releases as required
• Document new designs per established guidelines including but not limited to simulations, test circuit measurements and tolerance analyses
• Provide appropriate input to the development of test procedures, fixtures and software
• Respond to market trends and requirements for product development specifications
• Any other task assigned by your supervisor or management
