</ul>

<ul>

<li>Own power architecture trades and&nbsp;drive&nbsp;technical decisions balancing performance, mass, thermal, radiation tolerance, cost, and schedule&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Lead preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) for power subsystems, ensuring designs meet program and customer requirements&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Develop and&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;spacecraft power budgets, including generation, storage, distribution, and load analyses across all mission phases from launch through end-of-life&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Perform power system modeling and simulation including on-orbit power generation, eclipse cycling, battery state-of-charge, and transient load analysis&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Design and analyze power conversion and regulation circuits, including DC/DC converters, peak power tracking, charge controllers, and fault protection schemes&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Conduct and review&nbsp;derating&nbsp;analysis and worst-case circuit analysis for power electronics&nbsp;in accordance with&nbsp;EEE-INST-002 and applicable standards&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Perform radiation and reliability analyses for power system components,&nbsp;identifying&nbsp;risks and driving design mitigations for the orbital radiation environment&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Define validation approaches and create development and qualification testing campaigns to exercise power system designs to their limits and ensure reliable hardware&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Develop electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) for power system testing and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li>Support environmental testing campaigns including EMI/EMC, thermal vacuum, and vibration testing of power subsystem hardware&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<ul>
