About the job
At NewOrbit Space, we are on a revolutionary journey to design and manufacture the world's lowest orbiting satellites, aiming to significantly enhance global connectivity and provide unparalleled insights.
Our innovative satellites will be capable of operating at just 200 km above the Earth—one-third the altitude of traditional satellites. Utilizing our advanced propulsion system, AURA, we effectively counteract atmospheric drag at these ultra-low altitudes.
Your Role
We are looking for a skilled Wireless Power Electronics Engineer to join our team, where you will play a crucial role in designing, constructing, and testing resonant inverters for our AURA-X satellite propulsion system. You will manage the entire development cycle of power electronics, ensuring the successful launch of our upcoming satellites.
Key Responsibilities
Design and prototype cutting-edge power electronics circuits and PCB layouts.
Develop DC-DC and DC-AC converters, as well as power supplies for inductively coupled plasma sources.
Perform modeling, control design, and stability analysis for power electronic converters.
Validate and test power converters against simulations, ensuring compliance with EMI/EMC, reliability, and efficiency standards.
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to seamlessly integrate power electronics into various satellite subsystems.
Fundamental Requirements
Education: Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related discipline.
Experience: Minimum of 3 years in power electronics design, including relevant academic research (e.g., PhD).
Strong foundational knowledge of both analog and digital circuits.
Proficiency in simulation tools such as CST/Maxwell/COMSOL, LTSpice, TINA-TI, MATLAB/Simulink.
Familiarity with various converter topologies (DC/DC, class E, and class D inverters).
Understanding of EMI/EMC compliance, control theory, and closed-loop feedback systems.
Knowledge of control architectures, algorithms, and power management for converters and drives.
Experience with reliability analysis, including stress analysis and FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis).
Preferred Experience (a plus, but not required)
Power electronics experience in space applications.
Experience with thermal management and cooling systems.
