About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the Electrical Systems and EPS requirements baseline, architecture products, interface definition, technical-budget integration, verification strategy, and closure evidence
Derive, allocate, and manage verifiable electrical-system requirements and maintain traceability across diagrams, equipment lists, operating modes, interfaces, analyses, schematics, and verification events
Interface with electrical power-budget owners for nominal, peak, transient, contingency, safe-mode, beginning-of-life, and end-of-life cases
Reconcile assumptions among DRM, PEL/MEL, thermal loads, propulsion, payload duty cycles, and radiation degradation
Lead electrical architecture trades involving bus voltage, battery topology, solar-array sizing, PCDU functions, load switching, redundancy, cross-strapping, and umbilicals
Lead requirements, interface, verification, and test-readiness reviews
Coordinate anomaly resolution with responsible hardware and test teams
Create integrated verification plans and cross-reference matrices
Support flatsat, hardware-in-the-loop, subsystem, spacecraft, environmental, and mission-scenario testing and drive discrepancies to closure
Manage electrical-system risks, decisions, assumptions, technical performance measures, configuration changes, and change-impact assessments across requirements, models, diagrams, ICDs, equipment lists, hardware definition, and test procedures
Partner with electrical design leads and connect spacecraft bus, payload, propulsion, flight software, mission operations, and specialty engineering teams
