Power Systems Engineer

The role

As a Power Systems Engineer, you’ll take ownership of the toughest challenge in our product line: delivering reliable energy at
-40°C and below. From day one, you’ll lead the design, integration, and testing of the proprietary energy system at the core of our stack – from portable high-bandwidth ground hubs to fully autonomous systems – ensuring an uninterrupted flow of mission critical data and asset coordination in the world’s harshest environment.

• Architect, build, and iterate ARD’s proprietary energy system for seamless integration into our hardware line
• Serve as the go-to technical lead across for power requirements across electrical, RF, systems, and mechanical interfaces, driving SWaP optimisation at every iteration
• Ensure uninterrupted power delivery to MCUs, electronic arrays, perception sensors, and autonomous subsystems
• Lead thermal strategies for batteries and power systems (e.g. chemistry selection, controller, membranes)
• Test and validate energy systems in both the in-house lab and field deployments
• Contribute to system safety and compliance testing, working against standards such as UL, IEC, and CE for batteries and electronics.
• Get hands‑on in the field – travel to Arctic test sites and client installations

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience building battery systems for real‑world applications
• Ability to leverage a deep knowledge in battery chemistry for use in sub‑zero environments
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a portfolio ready to demonstrate
• Strong familiarly with battery management systems, heat controllers, thermal membranes, and software integration
• Confident soldering, PCB design, prototyping, and field‑testing under pressure
• Track record of delivering systems from sketch to deployment — managing time, cost, and complexity
• Ability to operate with a large‑degree of autonomy within a lean and competent team

• Competitive compensation
• Real field exposure – travel to Arctic sites and Outposts when needed
• Mission‑driven culture – focus on impact, not hours logged
