We design and manufacture large-scale orbital structures that enable commercial operations while meeting the requirements of defense and government missions.
Our systems are built to scale and built to last—bridging commercial innovation with mission-critical performance. If you're ready to lay the foundations for a new era in space, embrace a culture of relentless learning and innovation, and contribute to a future where humanity's reach extends farther, Gravitics is the place for you. Let's build the future together.
About the Role
We’re looking for exceptional engineers to take full ownership of the product lifecycle for an in-space electrical power system from initial design through build, integration, and deployment. In this role, you will lead the development of a robust, mission-critical power system engineered to perform reliably regardless of the mission.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and test electrical power subsystems for flight hardware in orbital environments
Define and maintain power system requirements and perform architecture-level design trades
Analyze and validate power system performance against requirements through modeling, simulation, and testing
Perform solar array sizing, including shading, peak, and average power analyses for orbital missions
Assess radiation effects on electronics and develop mitigation strategies
Conduct fault tolerance, redundancy, and reliability analyses for power systems
Work cross-functionally with structures, thermal, avionics, and GNC teams to ensure power system compatibility with vehicle-level performance
Support environmental qualification and acceptance testing, including thermal-vacuum, vibration, and leak/proof pressure testing
Contribute to vehicle layout and packaging decisions, accounting for radiation exposure and thermal environments
Interface with external vendors and suppliers, owning technical coordination, component sourcing, and qualification to ensure delivered hardware meets performance, quality, and schedule requirements
About You
You’re a successful candidate if you are a giver, not a taker. You make things happen. You are exceptional at several things, yet willing to take on efforts in areas of weakness.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related ABET-accredited discipline
5+ years of experience in power converter or electrical power system development
Proficiency in designing and testing of 1-10 kW power systems
Familiarity with power system packaging, integration, and testing for space environments
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams
Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities
Bonus Points For
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
Experience with fault-tolerant design and FMECA for safety-critical systems
Background working in configuration-controlled or safety-critical aerospace environments
