Space Solar Array Engineer​/Principal Engineer – Space Solar Power Modules & Syste

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead system-level architecture and application strategy across solar cells, modules, panels, arrays, and spacecraft power systems.
• Conduct electrical, thermal, and mechanical simulations and trade studies to guide design decisions.
• Define and lead limited-scope prototyping to validate integration concepts and reduce customer adoption risk.
• Serve as the primary technical interface with customers and external partners.
• Translate customer requirements into actionable design, reliability, and qualification targets for internal R&D teams.
• Define customer-focused reliability, qualification, and data strategies.
• Provide advisory guidance on space-grade quality, reliability, and documentation expectations.
• Support team development and system-level decision-making processes.
• Act as Responsible Engineer for Solar Power Module design
  , leading module architecture, development, prototyping, and integration into spacecraft power systems with flight or space validation experience
  .

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field; advanced degrees are a plus.
• 8+ years of experience in space solar systems, spacecraft power systems, or high-reliability aerospace hardware.
• Strong system-level understanding of spacecraft power architectures and environmental effects.
• Proven ability to lead technical discussions with customers and partners.
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills.
• Eligible to work under U.S. export control regulations.

• Background as a Technical Lead, Principal Engineer, or Systems Engineer.
• Experience with flight hardware, demonstration missions, or qualification campaigns.
• Familiarity with electrical, thermal, or radiation modeling tools.

• Up to ~40% travel to R&D sites, manufacturing partners, and customer locations, depending on project phase.

• Experienced Responsible Engineer for Solar Power Module design with spaceflight or in-orbit validation experience
  , including architecture, development, prototyping, and integration into spacecraft power systems.
• System-oriented thinker with a proven track record of delivering integrated spacecraft power solutions.
• Comfortable making technically and commercially impactful decisions that balance mission requirements, risk, and manufacturability.
• Able to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders across organizations without formal authority.
• Motivated by deploying mission-ready hardware validated in space
  , not just achieving lab performance metrics.
• Demonstrates strong judgment in translating customer requirements into actionable design, reliability, and qualification targets.
