YOUR MISSION True Anomaly is seeking an innovative Electrical Power Systems engineer to help design, analyze, implement, and test spacecraft power subsystems including solar arrays, batteries, charge controllers, DC/DC converters, and power distribution electronics on schedule and within budget. The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of spacecraft systems, circuit analyses and design including schematic capture, power integrity, worst case circuit analysis, grounding, derating, and reliability.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Support development of spacecraft EPS hardware: solar arrays, batteries, power distribution units, DC/DC converters, and protection systems
Perform analysis, modeling, and trade studies under guidance from senior engineers and technical leads
Implement and test EPS components in the lab, using oscilloscopes, power supplies, loads, and solar arrays simulators
Contribute to requirements development, design documentation, and design reviews
Execute EPS integration and test activities on spacecraft hardware with cross-functional teams
Support development of fault protection strategies, power budgets, and power modeling
Conduct validation testing including EMI/EMC, thermal cycling, battery characterization, and converter performance
Participate in root-cause investigations and corrective-action implementation
Follow established processes for configuration control, safety, and hardware traceability
Ensure spacecraft EPS meets mission reliability, efficiency, thermal, and radiation tolerance requirements
Support schedules, budgets, and risk management activities for the EPS scope within a program
QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master’s preferred)
2-4 years of professional experience with spacecraft or high-reliability electrical power systems design
Demonstrated experience with spacecraft power modeling, analysis, components, and fault management
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Technical background in solar arrays, battery technologies (Li‑ion, LiFePO4), charge control, DC/DC converters, peak power tracking and power distribution
Understanding of radiation effects on power systems and mitigation techniques
Experience with analog and digital electrical design practices
Familiarity with lab test equipment (power supplies, oscilloscopes, electrical loads, solar array simulators)
Experience designing, analyzing, and testing for EMI/EMC effects
Experience integrating and debugging system level interactions in a HIL/SIL environment
Knowledge and experience with power supply stability and analysis
COMPENSATION
Base Salary: $95,000-$125,000
Equity + Benefits
including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case‑by‑case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job‑related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Work Location —successful candidates will be located near Long Beach, CA. While we observe a hybrid work environment, some work must be done on site.
Work environment —the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
Physical demands —the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.
This position will be open until it is successfully filled. To submit your application, please follow the directions below. #LI-Onsite
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
True Anomaly is committed to equal employment opportunity on any basis protected by applicable state and federal laws. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us.
