About Catalyx Space:

We're building AWS for spaceproviding 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-endfrom 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.

Minimum qualifications:

  • B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in EE/ECE/Power (or equivalent experience).
  • Typically 26 years in spacecraft EPS or power-electronics hardware.
  • Strong in DC-DC topologies, switching regulators, and BMS.
  • Hands-on with KiCad/Altium/OrCAD; LTspice/PLECS (or similar).
  • Knowledge of space-grade components, derating standards, and radiation effects.
  • MATLAB/Python proficiency for power-budget modeling.
  • Familiar with solar cells, Li-ion batteries, and power conditioning.
  • Exposure to TVAC, EMI/EMC, and vibration testing.
  • FMECA/reliability experience and strong documentation skills.

Nice to have:

  • Spacecraft operations / on-orbit power management experience.
  • Familiarity with ECSS/NASA power standards.
  • Fault-tolerant/redundant architectures.
  • Prior CubeSat/smallsat EPS development.

Compensation & benefits:

  • Competitive salary (details will be shared with shortlisted candidates),
  • health insurance
  • Provident fund.
