## Job description

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

## OUR MISSION

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

## OUR VALUES

- Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
- What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
- It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

## YOUR MISSION

As a Staff Power Engineer at True Anomaly, you will be a senior technical leader on the Power team, owning the design, analysis, and performance of spacecraft electrical power subsystems across multiple programs. You will drive power architecture decisions - from solar arrays and energy storage through distribution and protection — and serve as the technical authority ensuring our power systems meet the demanding reliability and performance requirements of operational space missions.

## RESPONSIBILITIES

- Lead the design and development of spacecraft electrical power systems, including solar arrays, battery systems, power distribution units, and protection circuits
- Own power architecture trades and drive technical decisions balancing performance, mass, thermal, radiation tolerance, cost, and schedule
- Lead preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) for power subsystems, ensuring designs meet program and customer requirements
- Develop and maintain spacecraft power budgets, including generation, storage, distribution, and load analyses across all mission phases from launch through end-of-life
- Perform power system modeling and simulation including on-orbit power generation, eclipse cycling, battery state-of-charge, and transient load analysis
- Design and analyze power conversion and regulation circuits, including DC/DC converters, peak power tracking, charge controllers, and fault protection schemes
- Conduct and review derating analysis and worst-case circuit analysis for power electronics in accordance with EEE-INST-002 and applicable standards
- Perform radiation and reliability analyses for power system components, identifying risks and driving design mitigations for the orbital radiation environment
- Define validation approaches and create development and qualification testing campaigns to exercise power system designs to their limits and ensure reliable hardware
- Develop electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) for power system testing and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation
- Support environmental testing campaigns including EMI/EMC, thermal vacuum, and vibration testing of power subsystem hardware
- Collaborate with avionics, systems engineering, software, and propulsion teams to ensure seamless spacecraft integration of power systems
- Develop and maintain documentation for power systems, including design specifications, interface control documents, test plans, and operating procedures
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers on the Power team, raising the team's design capabilities and technical rigor
- Continuously improve power engineering processes and practices to drive innovation and efficiency

## QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- Minimum 8 years of professional experience in spacecraft or high-reliability electrical power systems design
- Strong technical background in solar array systems, battery technologies (Li-ion, LiFePO4), charge control, DC/DC converters, peak power tracking, and power distribution
- Demonstrated experience with radiation effects on power system components and radiation-tolerant design practices
- Experience leading preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) for power or electrical subsystems
- Proficiency with power system modeling, analysis, and simulation tools
- Experience with spacecraft power budgeting across all mission phases, including launch, tip-off, eclipse, and end-of-life
- Advanced experience with circuit design tools (Altium Designer or equivalent ECAD) and analysis tools (SPICE, MATLAB, or similar)
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

## PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
- Experience with fault management and autonomous protection schemes for spacecraft power systems
- Experience with EEE parts screening and qualification per EEE-INST-002 or NASA-INST-002
- Familiarity with EMI/EMC qualification and mitigation per GSFC-STD-7000 (GEVS) and MIL-STD-461
- Experience designing, analyzing, and testing for spacecraft charging effects
- Familiarity with lab test equipment including power supplies, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and solar array simulators
- Experience developing EGSE or HIL test environments for power subsystem validation
- Knowledge of power supply stability analysis techniques
- Experience with GEO, LEO, or other operational orbit regimes and their implications for power system design
- Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting

## COMPENSATION

- Base Salary: $135,000-$250,000
- Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education and experience.

## ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

- Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI clearance
- Work Location: this role will be fully onsite at our GravityWorks factory in Centennial, CO or Long Beach, CA
- Work environment is in a standard office, working at a desk or in a production factory.
- Physical demands may include frequent standing, sitting, walking, bending, and lifting or carrying items up to 20lbs.
