• Experience with spacecraft power modeling, analysis, and fault management
• Demonstrated ability to lead engineering teams and deliver complex hardware on schedule
• Understanding of radiation effects on power systems and mitigation techniques

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Experience with analog and digital electrical design practices
• Familiarity with lab test equipment (power supplies, oscilloscopes, electrical loads, solar array simulators)
• Experience designing, analyzing, and testing for EMI/EMC effects
• Experience integrating and debugging system level interactions in a HIL/SIL environment
• Knowledge and experience with power supply stability and analysis

COMPENSATION

• California Base Salary: $160,000-$225,000
• Colorado Base Salary: $155,000-$215,000
