Demonstrated experience designing DC/DC converters, switching regulators, and power conditioning circuits using GaN FETs or similar high-efficiency switching devices

GaN FET design experience

Proficiency with OrCAD and Allegro tools for schematic capture and PCB layout

Proficiency with SPICE-based simulation tools for transient and steady-state analysis

Knowledge of EMI/EMC design practices and grounding/shielding techniques

Experience supporting hardware test, verification, and troubleshooting at bench and subsystem levels

Experience supporting qualification and acceptance test campaigns including TVAC, vibration, and EMI testing

Experience leading electronics design teams throughout the full product lifecycle

Job Responsibilities:

Design, build, and test space-based electronics and power electronics for multiple projects

Prove out designs using simulation, analysis, and engineering calculations

Collaborate with Software, Mechanical, Operations, Systems Engineering, and Program Management to take products from concept through production
