Avionics Engineer (Power Systems)

Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That's a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket.

We're a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering. We are looking for the best people in the world who want to build the next generation of advanced spacecraft.

Responsibilities & Ownership

• The power bus for our spacecraft, from the battery through distribution to every load that computes, senses, or actuates
• Management and protection of battery packs
• High-current actuator drive electronics and the switching that gates power to them
• Circuit protection and fault isolation: inrush limiting, electronic fusing, and a coherent protection scheme that keeps the system fault-tolerant
• Power moni
