What the job involves

As a Senior Power Electronics Engineer, you will design and validate the power conversion and power management electronics that enable Array’s radar sensors and satellite platforms
Your work will include high-efficiency DC/DC conversion, power distribution, sequencing, monitoring and telemetry, protection and fault handling, and the power interfaces that support high-power RF operation
You will take hardware from schematic design through prototyping, bring-up, characterization, and qualification, working closely with RF, mixed-signal, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers
The power electronics you develop will directly impact system efficiency, thermal performance, reliability, and on-orbit availability
Develop advanced power electronics subsystems, from architecture to manufacturing
Own power subsystem definition and design trade studies, balancing efficiency, transient performance, thermal behavior, and fault tolerance
Select components, capture schematics, and design complex power assemblies including DC/DC conversion, sequencing, protection, and monitoring
Lead prototyping, hardware bring-up, debug, characterization, qualification, and test efforts for power electronics
Work closely with RF, mixed-signal, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineers to deliver reliable radar sensor and spacecraft power systems
