Summary:

Redwire Space Missions LLC in Littleton CO has an exciting opportunity for an Electrical Engineer Senior.In this role you will own the design development integration and lifecycle support of spacecraft Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) hardware. This includes power generation energy storage distribution and conversion. The engineer will define EPS architectures requirements and interfaces; perform design and analysis; and lead verification and validation efforts. This role requires hands-on experience with spacecraft power systems and close collaboration with systems engineering avionics software and I&T teams.

Responsibilities

Own spacecraft Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) hardware design and performance from concept through delivery.
Define EPS architectures specifications and interfaces with spacecraft bus and payload subsystems including power generation energy storage power distribution and control.
Develop power budgets load analyses state of charge analyses and fault tolerance studies for missions.
Support spacecraft integration and test with EPS checkouts simulations and anomaly resolution.
Perform analysis of efficiency stability reliability derating and worst-case performance.
Lead or support development and review of interface control documents (ICDs) for EPS hardware.
Specify and procure EPS hardware and provide supplier technical oversight.
Support environmental testing and verification in thermal vacuum vibration and EMI/EMC environments.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to electrical engineering best practices.
