Spacecraft Power & Battery Systems Engineer

Location: Remote / Global wide

A pioneering satellite-communications company is expanding the team that keeps its growing constellation safe, efficient, and mission-ready. As the Spacecraft Power & Battery Systems Engineer, you will be the technical champion for on-orbit energy generation, storage, and distribution, ensuring every spacecraft has the power it needs to deliver critical services worldwide. You will join a collaborative, multi-disciplinary operations group that values innovation, data-driven decisions, and continuous improvement. This is a fully remote role and welcomes talent from anywhere on the globe.

Key Responsibilities

• Guard overall health of spacecraft power subsystems and recommend actions that optimize power margins while protecting vehicle safety.
• Trend solar-array and battery performance, characterize ageing behaviour, and propose life-extension strategies.
• Develop, update, and automate operational procedures, scripts, and dashboards that streamline satellite and ground-segment activities.
• Provide real-time support during routine passes, anomaly investigations, and recovery operations, coordinating closely with operations controllers.
• Generate command plans, review execution windows, and verify post-command telemetry against expected outcomes.
• Create analytical tools in Python and MATLAB that improve insight into subsystem status and predictive maintenance.
• Document best practices and mentor cross-functional teammates on power-system concepts and operational impacts.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar.
• 7+ years working with spacecraft electrical systems, including at least 5 years each on solar-array and battery architectures.
• Hands-on experience building or maintaining analysis software in Python; familiarity with MATLAB for data exploration.
• Proven ability to interpret large telemetry data sets and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and comfort collaborating across time zones in a fast-paced environment.

Bonus Points

• Advanced degree in a relevant discipline.
• 10+ years supporting LEO spacecraft, ground stations, or related networks.
• Knowledge of radiation-hardened components and design considerations for harsh environments.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Contribute directly to a global satellite service that impacts millions of users.
• Work 100 % remotely with flexible scheduling and a supportive, engineering-centric culture.
• Influence road-maps for next-generation power systems and fleet-wide upgrades.
• Enjoy competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and ample professional-development resources.
