Specific Competence Requirements o Proven experience in Digital Control of power converters. o Proven experience in FPGA and microcontroller programming. o Proven experience in the design of power converters with GaN semiconductors. o Knowledge on space power conversion systems will be an asset. o Electrical power processing background, together with a good experience of digital and analogue electronics and control theory. o Proven experience in the domain of power conditioning electronics together, with hands on knowledge of the circuit design of such systems. o Experience in the development of computer models, especially with SPICEbased simulators. o Knowledge and the experience on High Voltage power conditioning for space application constitute an asset. Specific Tasks The design, development and test of spacecraft power systems for onboard applications. This work encompasses the definition of centralised power systems having overall power levels up to 25 kilowatts, together with their interfaces with respect to solar arrays and batteries, the attendant power distributionprotection equipment and pyrotechnic activation functions. Detailed tasks include the overall system design necessary for the development of faulttolerant power control and distribution concepts, the detailed design of the power regulators and the identificationuse of tools and methods for ensuring dependable design and verification. The development of simulation blocks for system analysis batteries, solar cells arrays, power control and distribution units useful for the independent evaluation of critical power and energy budgets in support to running projects of the Agency. Support to laboratory activities concerning design and development or verification of circuits for power management and distribution solar array and battery conversion electronics, power distribution and protection electronics, power conversion for generic and specific purposes, including redundancy and protections. Active involvement in critical RD activities support by simulation, worst case analysis and laboratory testing of the overall system or of the most critical subunits. Assisting to the development and validation of worst case simulation blocks for electrical equipment analysis converters, shunt regulators, current limiters, protections, critical telemetry or telecommand functions useful for the independent check of the most critical equipment functionality and performances, in support to all programmes reviews where the power conditioning section is involved. The development and verification of high voltage design technologies and associated power converters, suitable for application as Electronic Power Conditioners EPCs for specialised
