About the role

Contract Power Electronics Engineer — Spacecraft Payload Power💰 Open hourly rate📅 Contract - 40 hours per week📍 Fully remote (US-based) An aerospace electronics manufacturer is hiring a Power Electronics Engineer to take a spacecraft payload power supply through to final flight design. You’ll own the design and analysis from current baseline through to flight. The program is live. What’s needed is an engineer who has designed high-power converters for flight, backs every design with their own analysis, and can work remotely without waiting to be told what to do next.
🔧 What you’ll be doing:
  • Complete final flight designs for the spacecraft payload power supply, baselining Coilcraft CPS series magnetics
  • Run EMI filter simulations to MIL-STD-461 CE101 and RE102Perform worst case circuit analysis per EEE-INST-002 Class 3 derating, using client-provided EOL parameters
  • Cover parts stress, power dissipation, DC regulation, transient analysis and stability
  • Provide power supply noise content data for the TCM and FPSM subsystems✅ What you’ll need
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering 8+ years of power electronics design experience
  • Phase-shifted full-bridge DC-DC converter design above 1800WTransformer and magnetics design
  • Payload power architecture designSPICE simulation, schematic and PCB design capture, electronic test and power supply design
  • Analog and digital electronics, plus space hardware integration, test and verification
  • Clear communication, including presenting technical material in design reviewsUS-based and eligible to work in the US⭐ Nice to have
  • Flight heritage on NASA or commercial spacecraft power systemsWCCA, parts stress and FMECA experience on flight programsLTspice, PLECS, Altium Designer or Ansys Maxwell

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
