What is a DC power engineer?

DC Power Engineers are specialized electrical engineers who design, implement, and maintain direct current (DC) power systems. These systems are commonly used in telecommunications, data centers, renewable energy installations, and industrial applications. DC Power Engineers ensure reliable and efficient power distribution, manage backup power solutions like batteries, and oversee the safety and compliance of power infrastructure. Their work is essential for supporting critical systems that require uninterrupted, high-quality power.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a DC power engineer?

To thrive as a DC Power Engineer, a strong foundation in electrical engineering principles, power systems, and relevant academic credentials such as a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering is essential. Familiarity with industry-standard tools like AutoCAD, power analysis software, and certifications such as IEEE or NETA are commonly required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication help DC Power Engineers excel in troubleshooting and collaborating with cross-functional teams. These skills ensure the safe, efficient, and reliable design and maintenance of DC power systems vital for critical infrastructure.

How does a DC power engineer typically collaborate with other teams during large infrastructure projects?

DC Power Engineers often work closely with electrical engineers, project managers, and installation technicians throughout the project lifecycle. They are responsible for designing and specifying DC power systems, reviewing plans with cross-functional teams, and ensuring that installation meets both technical and safety standards. Regular meetings and site visits are common to coordinate activities, troubleshoot issues, and integrate feedback from stakeholders, making strong communication and teamwork skills essential for success in this role.

What is the difference between Dc Power Engineer vs Battery Systems Engineer?

AspectDc Power EngineerBattery Systems Engineer
CertificationsElectrical certifications, PE license often preferredBattery technology certifications, electrical certifications
Work EnvironmentPower plants, data centers, renewable energy sitesBattery manufacturing, energy storage systems, R&D labs
Industry UsagePower distribution, renewable energy, telecomEnergy storage, electric vehicles, portable power

Dc Power Engineers focus on designing, maintaining, and troubleshooting direct current power systems, often in power distribution or renewable energy projects. Battery Systems Engineers specialize in developing and optimizing battery technologies and energy storage solutions. While both roles require electrical expertise and certifications, their work environments and industry applications differ, with Dc Power Engineers more involved in power infrastructure and Battery Systems Engineers in energy storage innovations.

Job description

Please Note: To conform with the United States Government Space Technology Export Regulations, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., conditional resident, asylee or refugee (protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.

We are seeking a Principal Power Electronics Engineer I to join our growing satellite communication (SATCOM) terminal development team. In this position, you will contribute across the entire development lifecycle of next-generation power electronics hardware for military and commercial power systems-from leading the definition of power system architectures and trade studies to detailed circuit design, simulation, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, verification and integration testing, production transition, and manufacturing support.  
JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Lead the development of power system architectures and derive power subsystem requirements.
  • Design DC-DC power converters, power supplies, and power distribution systems ranging from a few watts to more than 20 kW of power in the 0.8 V to 400 V range.  
  • Design single-phase and three-phase AC-DC power supplies and power distribution systems ranging from a few kilowatts to more than 20 kW.  
  • Perform comprehensive analysis of AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies including worst-case circuit analysis (WCA), stress analysis, small signal modeling analysis, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), reliability analysis, and power integrity analysis. 
  • Develop design verification test plans, requirement compliance matrices, system integration and qualification test plans, and production acceptance test plans for power converters and power supplies. 
  • Lead board bring-up and design verification testing of analog and power electronics circuits. 
  • Lead system integration, qualification campaigns, and production release of power supply modules and power systems.   
  • Mentor younger engineers and foster knowledge sharing. 
  • Lead a small team of power electronics engineers to drive project execution.  
JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
