Power the future of Space at Star Catcher Star Catcher is building the first energy grid in space to power the orbital economy. Today’s spacecraft must generate all of their own power, which caps what they can do and how long they can operate. But what if they could “plug” into a grid, the way buildings do on Earth? Instead of cables and outlets, Star Catcher is building the technology to wirelessly beam energy to spacecraft’s existing solar panels when and where they need it. Be an early member of a team building an entirely new energy infrastructure at scale to power the next frontier. Star Catcher Industries, Inc. , located in Jacksonville, Florida , has an opportunity for a Senior Electrical Engineer - Power Electronics to support the development of space-to-space power beaming spacecraft and the Star Catcher Network, its orbital power grid. Key Responsibilities Lead and co-own power-domain architectures across projects with other senior engineering leads; lead power requirements generation and design reviews. Serve as subject matter expert for power electronics designs company wide. Lead investigation of novel power electronics concepts and technologies. Architect, design, and analyze high-power DC-DC converters, regulators, and power conditioning units capable of sustaining multi-kilowatt continuous loads. Design and analyze power distribution architectures and EMI filters, and analyze analog/power circuits for stability, efficiency, power draw, and in-rush behavior using SIMPLIS, SPICE, or equivalent simulation tools. Design robust interfaces between energy sources and high-power loads, addressing source impedance, inrush, transient demand, protection coordination, and operating limits. Design and analyze high-voltage subsystems and laser drive power, ensuring mitigation of corona discharge, arcing, and electrical breakdown in partial and deep vacuum environments. Write specifications and test approaches for power supply circuit designs, and select components…
