Pulsed Power R&D Engineer The Pulsed Power team is responsible for developing novel pulsed power technologies for use in space and on-earth. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Pulsed Power R&D Engineer who can rapidly iterate and develop novel pulsed power systems. The ideal candidate will thrive in a resource-constrained environment, capable of transforming vague inputs into functional prototypes through consistent logical questioning and experimentation. This role demands a proactive individual who is mission-focused, capable of working independently, and able to travel to the field when necessary. Tasks: + Lead and apply cutting-edge pulsed power systems. + Rapidly design and iterate innovative prototypes. + Ensure safe and efficient lab testing and operations. + Oversee design specifications and documentation. + Conduct performance, lifetime, and safety testing. + Work hands-on in a resource and schedule-constrained environment. + Refine prototypes based on experimental results. + Perform LTspice modeling tasks. + Develop custom diagnostics from scratch. + Innovate with a logical, problem-solving approach. + Communicate technical concepts clearly to the team and stakeholders. + Drive technological improvements and collaborate across teams. + Experience in high voltage systems and components + Experience in electro-static simulations + Strong first-principles engineering fundamentals. + Expert understanding of pulsed power systems. + Background in plasma physics. + Basic domain knowledge including surface mount soldering, EMI protection of circuits, and control of circuits using Arduinos. + Basic understanding of solid state power components/circuits (e.g. switched mode power supply topologies, power transformers, capacitors, MOSFET's, thyristors) and integrated circuits. + Excellent communicator with the ability to work well in an integrated team including daily interactions with technicians, engineers, managers, and suppliers. + Hands-on experience with fabrication and troubleshooting. + Excited to work in a startup company culture and atmosphere. + This position is located at Lunar Resources' facility in Houston, TX. Remote work is NOT possible for this position. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: + Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field. + Proven experience in designing and developing pulsed power systems. + Proficiency in LTSpice or similar circuit simulation tools. + Experience in capacitive energy storage systems, gas and liquid switching, and vacuum power flow. + Excellent experimental and prototyping skills. PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: + Strong first-principles engineering fundamentals. + Expert understanding of pulsed power systems. + Background in plasma physics. + Basic domain knowledge including surface mount soldering, EMI protection of circuits, and control of circuits using Arduinos. + Basic understanding of solid state power components/circuits (e.g. switched mode power supply topologies, power transformers, capacitors, MOSFET's, thyristors) and integrated circuits. + Excellent communicator with the ability to work well in an integrated team including daily interactions with technicians, engineers, managers, and suppliers. + Hands-on experience with fabrication and troubleshooting.
