What the job involves
- The Staff Power Electrical Engineer will participate in all aspects of the development and test of avionics hardware for E-Space satellites.
- This position reports to the Director of Electrical Engineering and will work closely with the Electrical, Software, and Systems Engineering teams.
- This role is based in our Saratoga, CA office
- Design, build, and test spacecraft battery packs, battery management circuits, power distribution, and other mixed signal satellite electronics
- Support electro-mechanical design and manufacturing of battery packs
- Develop unit requirements in collaboration with other engineering disciplines
- Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer
- Circuit analysis including power, tolerance, and reliability
- Electronics design verification and qualification testing
- Production manufacturing support as needed
Our take
Designed with a vision to democratize space, E-Space will provide custom networks for companies and governments so that entities can access space without high costs but with zero trust topology for cybersecurity.
Critics will look for the cost this sort of project will have on the environment but E-Space has built sustainability into every aspect of the business. The satellites are designed to actively and sacrificially capture and deorbit small debris in space whilst the constellation will be launched into small cross sections to reduce vulnerability to collisions.
No doubt given founder, Greg Wyler’s entrepreneurial history, following the company’s ‘Beta 1’ launch of its test satellites as well as the second ‘Beta 2’ launch, with mass production planned for 2023. E-Space also acquired CommAgility and intends to integrate its source code into a network of potentially hundreds of thousands of connectivity satellites.
