Principal Electrical Engineer – Power Systems

Are you an experienced Electrical Power Systems Engineer looking to design the next generation of power systems that will operate on the Moon?

We're partnered with an innovative space robotics company developing advanced lunar vehicles and autonomous systems for future human exploration. They're looking for a Lead Electrical Power Systems Engineer to take ownership of the vehicle's Electrical Power System (EPS), leading the architecture and development of high-voltage power electronics that will power critical lunar missions.

This is a highly technical leadership role where you'll influence the complete electrical architecture while remaining hands-on with hardware design, integration and testing.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead the architecture and development of the vehicle Electrical Power System (EPS).
  • Design high-voltage (120V+) power distribution, conditioning, protection and control systems.
  • Own electrical hardware development from concept through flight, including requirements, schematics, PCB layout, design reviews, testing and integration.
  • Develop vehicle-level power architectures supporting batteries, motor drives, charging systems, power conversion and mission-critical loads.
  • Design solutions for regenerative braking, motor control, transient suppression, fault protection and energy management.
  • Perform engineering trade studies balancing performance, reliability, safety, mass and cost.
  • Collaborate with systems, software, mechanical, thermal and harnessing teams to deliver fully integrated vehicle hardware.
  • Support hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, EMI/EMC testing, environmental testing and vehicle integration.
  • Define verification strategies and support qualification testing.
  • Work with suppliers on power electronics, motors, batteries and related hardware.
  • Provide technical leadership through design reviews, customer reviews and flight readiness activities.
  • Mentor junior electrical engineers and help establish engineering best practices.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
  • 12+ years of experience designing high-voltage or high-power electrical systems.
  • Strong background developing power electronics, electrical power distribution systems or motor control systems.
  • Experience designing systems operating above 100VDC.
  • Strong knowledge of power conversion, protection, fault detection, power switching and high-current distribution.
  • Experience with electric vehicles, aerospace, industrial power systems or other safety-critical hardware.
  • Hands-on experience with hardware integration, debugging and root cause analysis.
  • Proficiency with Altium Designer.
  • Strong understanding of EMI/EMC design for high-power electronics.
  • Able to lead complex technical programmes while remaining hands-on.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work within a fast-paced engineering environment.
  • Must be a U.S. Person.

Nice to Have

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • Experience with aerospace, spaceflight or electric vehicle power systems.
  • Experience supporting NASA or Class A flight hardware.
  • Knowledge of battery systems, Battery Management Systems (BMS) and power conversion.
  • Familiarity with aerospace electrical design standards.
  • Experience developing hardware for harsh environments, including vibration, vacuum and thermal extremes.
  • Previous experience within a commercial space startup.

Why Join?

You'll play a key role in developing the electrical backbone of one of the world's most advanced lunar vehicles. This is an opportunity to lead the design of high-voltage power systems that will operate in one of the harshest environments imaginable, while working alongside a multidisciplinary team solving some of the most challenging engineering problems in space exploration.

If you're excited by high-power electronics, technical ownership, and building hardware that will help return humans to the Moon, we'd love to hear from you.
