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: $75,000-$105,000
- 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.
