Job DescriptionJob Description

The Pulsed Power team is responsible for developing novel pulsed power technologies for use in space and on-earth. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Electrical Engineers who can rapidly iterate and develop novel low and high voltage power supply architectures. The ideal candidate will thrive in a resource-constrained environment, capable of transforming vague inputs into functional prototypes through consistent logical questioning and experimentation. This role demands a proactive individual who is mission-focused, capable of working independently, and able to travel to the field when necessary.

Tasks:

• Lead and apply cutting-edge power systems.
• Rapidly design and iterate innovative prototypes.
• Ensure safe and efficient lab testing and operations.
• Oversee design specifications and documentation.
• Conduct performance, lifetime, and safety testing.
• Work hands-on in a resource and schedule-constrained environment.
• Refine prototypes based on experimental results.
• Perform LTspice modeling tasks.
• Innovate with a logical, problem-solving approach.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to the team and stakeholders.
• Drive technological improvements and collaborate across teams.
• Experience in high voltage systems and components.
• Experience in electro-static simulations.
• Strong first-principles engineering fundamentals.
• Expert understanding of pulsed power and high voltage systems.
• Basic domain knowledge including surface mount soldering, EMI protection of circuits, and control of circuits using Arduinos.
• Basic understanding of solid state power components/circuits (e.g. switched mode power supply topologies, power transformers, capacitors, MOSFET’s, thyristors) and integrated circuits.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to work well in an integrated team including daily interactions with technicians, engineers, managers, and suppliers.
• Hands-on experience with fabrication and troubleshooting.
• Excited to work in a startup company culture and atmosphere.
