Are you Made for the Mission? At Redwire Space, we develop innovative spacecraft and space systems that enable missions in very low earth orbit, geostationary orbit, and beyond. Our team in Littleton, CO designs, builds, and deploys advanced spaceflight hardware that supports some of the industry's most challenging missions. Redwire Space Missions, LLC in Littleton, CO has an exciting opportunity for an Electrical Engineer (all senior levels). This role will own board-level electrical design from concept through spacecraft integration, contributing to power distribution, power conversion, embedded monitoring and control, and high-performance computing platforms. Your designs will fly on unique Redwire spacecraft operating in demanding VLEO and GEO environments. Responsibilities Design and analyze high-efficiency power electronics, including DC/DC converters, switching regulators, and power distribution circuits. Design mixed-signal circuits supporting embedded monitoring, control, telemetry, and sensing functions. Develop schematics and PCB layouts using industry-standard ECAD tools. Lead hardware bring-up, integration, and validation testing of electrical designs. Perform detailed circuit analyses, including worst-case, stability, thermal, and performance assessments to ensure compliance with mission requirements. Select components suitable for space applications, considering derating, radiation tolerance, reliability, and performance requirements. Collaborate with systems, manufacturing, and test engineering teams to ensure design maturity and production readiness. Ideal Experience BS degree in Electrical Engineering. Minimum 5 years of experience designing electronic circuits using industry-standard ECAD design tools. Experience designing analog and power electronics, including isolated and non-isolated switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout using tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD X, or similar platforms. Experience with SPICE-based circuit simulation tools. Experience with FPGA, microcontroller, or microprocessor-based embedded systems and telemetry interfaces. Ability to travel as needed, up to 10% on average. Desired Skills Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. Minimum 8 years of experience developing electronics boards for space-based electrical power system (EPS) products. Demonstrated expertise in designing high-reliability power conversion and conditioning circuits using advanced switching technologies, including GaN FETs. Experience working with power management and signal conditioning circuits, including load switches, op-amps, and comparators. Proficiency performing circuit analysis and verification, including worst-case analysis, load regulation, stability assessment, and simulation. Knowledge of EMI/EMC design practices, grounding techniques, and shielding methodologies. Knowledge of derating analysis, radiation effects, and parts stress analysis methodologies. Experience performing board bring-up, verification, validation, troubleshooting, and root-cause corrective action (RCCA) activities at the unit and subsystem level. Experience leading electronics design efforts throughout the product lifecycle. Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to develop design documentation and effectively present complex technical information to customers and leadership audiences.
