Job Description:

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.
