Description

  • Lead detailed power electronics design for efficient, cost-effective, and highly manufacturable power converters.
  • Prototype and support launch of power electronics systems into high-volume production.
  • Select and compare converter topologies, control algorithms, semiconductors, and magnetics within engineering constraints.
  • Develop accurate time-domain control and thermal models to guide software and mechanical development.
  • Contribute to decisions around microprocessor selection, electrical insulation, and thermal interface design.
  • Perform critical parts of high-power powertrain PCB layout as needed.
  • Collaborate on circuit board layout for high-power conversion and supervise detailed PCB layout work.
  • Support prototyping iterations using feedback from customers, suppliers, and coworkers.
  • Mentor test technicians to design tests, interpret results, and define part maturity criteria.

Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus in power electronics.
  • 3-5 years of electrical engineering experience with a strong focus on power conversion or energy storage products, ideally in mass production.
  • Experience in high-voltage design up to 2000VDC and 480VAC.
  • Strong understanding of power electronics topologies and fundamentals, including AC/DC and DC/DC.
  • Familiarity with hard-switched and soft-switched topologies.
  • Knowledge of efficiency optimization techniques.
  • Basic knowledge of control theory and embedded systems.
  • Experience with semiconductor selection, gate drive, and protection circuit design.
  • Hands-on design, prototyping, and launch experience in medium-to-high volume production, ideally 10,000 units per year or higher.
  • Proficiency with oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators, and related EE tools.
  • Ability to perform detailed schematic capture in Altium or similar CAD software.
  • Ability to supervise and occasionally perform detailed layout of high-power electronics PCBs in Altium or related CAD software.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Startup experience, adaptability, and self-driven approach are preferred qualities.

Benefits

  • California pay range of $125,000 to $200,000 USD.
  • Full-time position.
