  Lead electrical subsystem design for smallsat spacecraft

  Participate in all phases of electrical subsystem development: design, integration, test, operations, and maintenance

  Develop and maintain system deliverables such as Power Budgets, System Electrical Interface Diagrams, and Power Simulations

  Create and review system-level electrical design documents (e.g. flight harnesses, interconnect diagrams, grounding schemes)

  Work closely with internal and external hardware providers to review designs, identify and resolve issues and develop integration and test approaches

  Work with test engineers to develop test plans that ensure adequate testing of units and the complete system

  Support a production line by being a spacecraft electrical engineering subject matter expert for issues that may occur
