YOUR MISSION
As a Staff Power Engineer at True Anomaly, you will be a senior technical leader on the Power team, owning the design, analysis, and performance of spacecraft electrical power subsystems across multiple programs. You will drive power architecture decisions - from solar arrays and energy storage through distribution and protection — and serve as the technical authority ensuring our power systems meet the demanding reliability and performance requirements of operational space missions.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead the design and development of spacecraft electrical power systems, including solar arrays, battery systems, power distribution units, and protection circuits
Own power architecture trades and drive technical decisions balancing performance, mass, thermal, radiation tolerance, cost, and schedule
Lead preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) for power subsystems, ensuring designs meet program and customer requirements
Develop and maintain spacecraft power budgets, including generation, storage, distribution, and load analyses across all mission phases from launch through end-of-life
Perform power system modeling and simulation including on-orbit power generation, eclipse cycling, battery state-of-charge, and transient load analysis
Design and analyze power conversion and regulation circuits, including DC/DC converters, peak power tracking, charge controllers, and fault protection schemes
Conduct and review derating analysis and worst-case circuit analysis for power electronics in accordance with EEE-INST-002 and applicable standards
Perform radiation and reliability analyses for power system components, identifying risks and driving design mitigations for the orbital radiation environment
Define validation approaches and create development and qualification testing campaigns to exercise power system designs to their limits and ensure reliable hardware
