Axiom Space fosters a work environment inclusive of all perspectives. We are the pioneers of commercial space, leading the transformation of low-Earth orbit into a global space marketplace. Our mission-driven team is seeking a bold and dynamic EPS Integration and Planning Engineer Principal who is fueled by high accountability, execution horsepower, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond.
POSITION SUMMARY
Since Axiom Space is a very complex work environment, we are looking for a resilient, high-energy EPS Integration and Planning Engineer to own how the Electrical Power System gets from where it is today to flight hardware on orbit: the Integrated Master Schedule, the critical path, the long lead items, the gate readiness, and the cross-subsystem and supplier coordination that it depends on.
The Axiom Space Station power architecture is a regulated 120 V dual bus system: solar array regulation as the first bus forming stage, isolated conversion as the second, high voltage energy storage with charge and discharge regulation, secondary conversion to 120 V and 28 V, and protected load distribution through latching current limiters, all of it distributed across module boundaries and across berthing and docking interfaces. The person in this seat owns the Electrical Power System content of the Integrated Master Schedule and will be the person who knows before anyone else that a date is not going to be held. Technical integration scope grows around that core: interface coordination across subsystems, supplier deliverable management, facility and test readiness, customer and International Space Station Program coordination, and operations integration.
KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the Electrical Power System content of the Integrated Master Schedule in Microsoft Project: activity definition, network logic and dependencies, durations and resource assumptions, baseline and change control, progress status, forecast dates, and gate traceability
Own critical path and near critical path analysis. Identify schedule threats early, quantify the impact, propose the recovery options, and present the consequences of each rather than a single opinion
Track long lead procurement and supplier delivery commitments against need dates and drive the actions that protect them
Own integration risk management: identification, likelihood and consequence assessment, mitigation planning, and tracking to closure, with the schedule consequence of each risk made explicit
Drive gate readiness: define the entry and exit criteria, track the evidence, run the readiness assessments ahead of each internal gate and each major review, and close the gaps before the review finds them
Coordinate cross-subsystem interfaces for the Electrical Power System: interface control document development, review, and deconfliction with command and data handling, thermal, guidance and navigation, structures, and software, including electromagnetic compatibility and grounding coordination
Validate interfaces at integration gates: power budgets, data rates and telemetry content, thermal loads, mass properties, and mechanical accommodation, and drive discrepancies to closure
