Senior Power Engineer Analogue Design

Senior Power Engineer Analogue Design | Space / Aerospace | Guildford | Hybrid

Key Tasks
Primary role is an Analogue Design Engineer for Space Projects, including design, analysis, development, verification, test and delivery of the power subsystem/modules including Battery Charge/Discharge Regulators, Power Distribution Modules, Relay/Activation Modules, Drive Electronics for motors/mechanism, DC-DC converters (range from 5W-3kW), Heater Control Boards, Batteries and Solar Panels. Typical duties include:

Requirements capture and derivation from top level requirements to module level requirements
Design and delivery of Analogue/Power Electronics Modules in Spacecraft, which meet these requirements within the agreed schedule/cost
Management and verification of these requirements
Carrying out the required analysis to verify that these requirements will be met over the mission life-time including FMECA, WCA, PSA, Reliability Analysis, etc
Specifying and carrying out the verification tests on hardware
Authoring of technical documents (including test/verification plans, procedures and technical descriptions)
Typical Analogue/Power Electronics Equipment in a spacecraft defined as follows: Batter Charge/Discharge Regulators, Power Distribution Modules, Relay/Activation Modules, Drive Electronics for motors/mechanism, DC-DC converters (range from 5W-1kW), Heater/Propulsion Control Boards, etc.Previous Experience

Analogue/Power Electronics Design experience, ideally in the Space or Aerospace Industries
Qualifications Knowledge & Skills
BTEC / Degree in Electronics or equivalent
Excellent understanding of analogue and power electronics
Familiarity with microprocessor and FPGA interfacing
Wide knowledge of electronic components, preferably for a space environment
Wide experience with schematic capture and simulation software (i.e. Mentor Graphics, OrCAD PSPICE, etc.)An exciting opportunity to make a difference within the industry delivering highly innovative power solutions for spacecraft missions. This role involves responsibility for undertaking the design, analysis, development, verification and delivery of power system and energy conversion solutions into different missions, including power subsystem lead responsibility for those missions.
