The Power Electronics PCB Designer will be part of a multi-disciplinary team of hardware designers working on the design, implementation, and validation of Power electronics Printed Circuit Board (PCB) used in satellites and other space-based systems. This may include applications such as motor drive units, DC power systems, Digital-Analog Telemetry, and associated control circuits for space applications using new space technologies.

In this project, your main responsibilities will be:

• Apply the different aspects of power electronic circuit design for the space environment under the supervision of a senior technical authority
• Convert requirements into a board design concept
• Complete the schematic capture level design
• Manage design layout constraints definitions
• Perform design simulations (LTSpice, BoardSim) and various design analyses (ex: worst case, FMECA)
• Support and review parts placement and PCB layout
• Prepare Material list and assembly drawings
• Oversee parts managements including long lead items, bill of materials, and parts qualifications for space
• Assist the preparation of detailed review documents
• Respect Design for Manufacture/Test in the space environment
• Interact with various specialties (structure, thermal, packaging, manufacturing, quality assurance, etc.)
• Provide manufacturing activity support for the electronics PCB and unit assembly as well as testing activities
• Perform testing, troubleshooting, and debugging of EPC boards and units
• Support environmental and functional tests
