Electrical Engineer

About the role

Zeno Power is developing compact nuclear batteries (radioisotope power systems) for frontier missions on Earth, in space and at sea. The Electrical Engineer will join the Test & Process Engineering team in Seattle, reporting to the Test & Process Engineering Manager, and will help design, test and manufacture the electrical subsystems that power these missions.

Key responsibilities

• Collaborate with mechanical, structural, thermal and nuclear teams to integrate electrical designs into system requirements.
• Lead the design, implementation and optimisation of complex control systems for both R&D and production environments.
• Review and develop designs for power distribution, power conversion, battery systems and data communication.
• Design and build test racks, including data‑acquisition hardware, power supplies, communications, sensors and grounding schemes.
• Create and maintain specifications, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, test plans, procedures and test reports.
• Provide subject‑matter‑expert review of supplier designs, fabrication activities and testing.
• Perform additional duties as assigned to support project milestones.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in electrical design, control systems or power electronics.
• Proficiency with control, diagram and harness design tools such as LTspice, Altium, LabVIEW or SolidWorks.
