About the Role We are looking for an Electrical Systems Engineer to define and improve how spacecraft electrical systems are designed across our in-space propulsion product portfolio. As Dawn Aerospace continues to scale, you'll develop the electrical system architectures, design methodologies, tools and verification processes that enable engineers to deliver reliable flight systems more efficiently. You'll identify common patterns across products, standardise system designs, automate engineering workflows and improve how requirements, interfaces and verification are managed throughout the development lifecycle. This could include automating requirements traceability, compliance reporting, power and mass budgets, reliability analysis, system configuration control, interface definitions, documentation and verification activities. Success in this role means delivering increasingly capable, reliable and compliant spacecraft while reducing the engineering effort required to bring new products to customers. Primary Responsibilities Own and continuously improve the electrical system design methodology across Dawn Aerospace's in-space propulsion products, developing standard architectures, reusable design approaches and engineering tools that enable efficient and consistent product development. Develop and maintain scalable processes for requirements management, system design, verification, documentation and configuration control that support high-quality engineering at scale. Work directly with customers to understand technical requirements and translate these into system requirements, verification plans, specifications and test procedures. Collaborate with R&D teams to develop new propulsion products and improve system-level design methodologies throughout the product development lifecycle. Support propulsion operations by investigating system anomalies, assessing the severity of non-conformances, identifying root causes and implementing corrective and prevent
