MADRID Design and develop high-voltage power electronics for next-generation space propulsion systems, driving the maturation and space-qualification of cutting-edge thruster technology.
Shape the future of in-space propulsion by engineering the high-voltage systems that power the smallest satellites in orbit.
Responsibilities.
- Design and optimize switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), including high-voltage architecture, thermal performance and EMC compliance.
- Simulate and analyze power circuits, parasitic effects and power integrity using advanced tools.
- Design multilayer PCBs in Altium Designer, integrating high-voltage clearances, parasitics and planar transformers.
- Plan and execute in-house testing campaigns, including thermal pre-qualification and EMC pre-compliance.
- Select optimal components for performance, efficiency and reliability in space environments.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless integration with propulsion systems and mission requirements.
Qualifications & Skills.
Must Have
- At least 5 years of experience in developing power electronics.
- Master’s degree in Power Electronics Engineering or another degree with a strong focus on electronics development.
- Proven experience in designing switched-mode power supplies, high-voltage circuits and thermal/EMC design.
- Full proficiency with Altium Designer.
- Hands-on experience in Electronics labs (debugging, testing, instrumentation).
- Proficiency in SMD soldering.
- Basic knowledge of C/C++, Matlab/Python and Arduino.
- Spoken and written professional proficiency in English.
- Fast learner, hands-on, autonomous, team player and proactive project contributor.
Nice to Have
- Experience in environmental testing (thermal, vibration, radiation).
- Experience working in automotive or other high-reliability sectors.
- Experience performing FMECA analysis.
