Satellite Platform Electrical Systems Engineer

About the role

The Platform Electrical Systems Engineer will join the Systems Engineering Department to provide technical expertise on power and data interfaces, power analyses, budgets, failure analysis, and functional testing for a new telecommunications satellite platform.

Key responsibilities

• Manage electrical interface control documentation for power, analog, digital, and RF connections between platform and payload subsystems.
• Support electrical analyses, budgeting, and design for power generation, storage, and distribution.
• Perform failure modes and effects analyses and assist in failure detection, isolation, and recovery.
• Support platform test activities, including preparation and review of test plans, procedures, and reports.
• Prepare radiation analyses (total dose and single‑event effects) and write systems engineering documentation such as requirements specifications and verification matrices.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience in system‑level electrical power generation, storage, and distribution.
• Strong background in electronic unit design, wiring harnesses, data‑bus protocol standards, and system‑level testing.

Required skills

• Power and data interface engineering.
• Electrical power analysis and budgeting.
• Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA).
• Functional and system‑level testing.
• Radiation analysis (total dose and single‑event effects).
• Wiring harness design and data‑bus protocol knowledge.
