- Experience with fault-tolerant design and FMECA for safety-critical systems
- Prior experience with spacecraft electrical power systems (e.g., solar arrays, batteries, power distribution, or power electronics)
- You're a successful candidate if you are a giver, not a taker.
- You are exceptional at several things, yet willing to take on efforts in areas of weakness.
Compensation
- $130,000 - $170,000 USD
