Electrical Engineer (Senior/Staff), Power Systems

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. 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 Develop electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) for power system testing and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation Support environmental testing campaigns including EMI/EMC, thermal vacuum, and vibration testing of power subsystem hardware Collaborate with avionics, systems engineering, software, and propulsion teams to ensure seamless spacecraft integration of power systems Develop and maintain documentation for power systems, including design specifications, interface control documents, test plans, and operating procedures Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers on the Power team, raising the team's design capabilities and technical rigor Continuously improve power engineering processes and practices to drive innovation and efficiency QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field Minimum 8 years of professional experience in spacecraft or high-reliability electrical power systems design Strong technical background in solar array systems, battery technologies (Li-ion, LiFePO4), charge control, DC/DC converters, peak power tracking, and power distribution Demonstrated experience with radiation effects on power system components and radiation-tolerant design practices Experience leading preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) for power or electrical subsystems Proficiency with power system modeling, analysis, and simulation to…
