Senior
Electronics Engineer - Space Electronics: Hall Current and Arcjet Thruster
propulsion systems are key components of Geo-synchronous Earth Orbit satellites
used by our military and commercial satellite service providers.
Additionally Hall Thruster
Propulsion Systems propel interplanetary spacecraft to and from their distant
destinations. A key component of these systems is the Power Processing Unit
(PPU) which converts spacecraft power from solar arrays to propulsion energy
used by the Electric Propulsion thrusters.
As a member of our Electrical
Engineering team, a Senior Electronics Engineer participates in the success of
space missions through design, development, and qualification of power
processing products with emphasis on circuit analysis, design, implementation and
verification of power processing electronics. A Senior Electronics Engineer
collaborates with other engineers in multiple engineering disciplines to
translate customer requirements into space flight hardware.
