This role owns the end-to-end design and validation of high‑power AC/DC power electronics systems, working across hardware, firmware, and control systems, mechanical constraints. The engineer is expected to operate beyond pure design—leading feasibility, testing, qualification, and customer technical engagement.
What This Role Does
- Designs and delivers high‑power power conversion products (AC/DC, DC/DC, inverters, rectifiers, grid‑tied systems)
- Leads designs from concept → feasibility → test → qualification → production
- Works at the hardware–firmware–controls (not a handoff role)
- Interfaces directly with customers and senior internal stakeholders on requirements, tradeoffs, and schedules
Must‑Have Technical Capabilities
Power Electronics Design (Core)
- Hands‑on experience designing high‑power AC/DC or DC/DC systems
- Exposure to products such as UPS, inverters, BESS, EV charging, renewable or grid‑interactive systems
- Experience balancing efficiency, reliability, cost, and manufacturability
Switching Devices & Protection
- Silicon + wide band gap devices (SiC / GaN) (nice to have don’t need to have very similar)
- Gate driver design and protection circuits (OCP, OVP, UVLO, desat)
- Real‑world switching loss and thermal tradeoffs
Controls & Firmware (Critical Differentiator)
- PWM, PLL, PID control (implemented, not just theoretical)
- C/C++ for embedded systems
- MATLAB / Simulink for modeling and validation
- Experience with DSPs, FPGAs, or real‑time microcontrollers
Pay: $1.00 - $2.00 per year
