About Catalyx Space :

We're building AWS for space—providing in-space experiments and tech demos across LEO, deep space, and lunar orbit. Our offerings include unmanned labs, testbeds for rideshare and dedicated missions, and re-entry capsules for payload return. We simplify access with end-to-end solutions, no minimum mass limits, zero integration fees, and fast deployment (≤6 months), serving biopharma, semiconductors, materials science, defense, and more.

Role :

Own the spacecraft Electrical Power System (EPS) end-to-end—from power budgets and architecture through build, test, integration, and on-orbit support.

What you'll do :

• Define satellite power budgets from mission profile, subsystems, and orbit.
• Architect EPS (solar array conditioning, BMS, regulated / unregulated buses).
• Create schematics / PCBs; select converters, regulators, and PDU components.
• Analyze efficiency, thermal performance, redundancy, and fault-tolerance.
• Develop / validate MPPT and battery charge / discharge algorithms.
• Perform worst-case / derating studies and radiation-tolerance assessments.
• Lead FMECA and reliability risk mitigation.
• Source / evaluate space-qualified or Hi-Rel parts.
• Integrate and test EPS with OBC, payloads, ADCS, and comms.
• Maintain documentation for design, analysis, test, and integration.
• Support in-orbit ops (battery health, array performance, bus stability).
• Collaborate with systems engineering to optimize reliability, mass, and cost.
