Senior Power Electronics Engineer

The role

This person will lead the development of power, digital, and mixed-signal electronic systems. They will manage hardware development from initial architecture and component selection through to final production release.

What you will do

• Take ownership of complete electrical hardware development from architecture through final design release.
• Establish and drive system-level electrical architectures.
• Design and develop high-voltage DC-DC and DC-AC conversion systems, motor-drive electronics, and power-management circuitry.
• Create and support FPGA-based control and signal-processing systems using VHDL or Verilog.
• Develop production-ready schematics, bills of materials, and PCB layouts.
• Contribute to electrical design reviews, failure-mode analysis, and design-for-manufacturing activities.
• Lead hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, and debugging of new boards and electronic systems.
• Utilize laboratory equipment to diagnose hardware performance and complex electrical issues.
• Develop and execute electrical validation and characterization strategies.
• Support environmental qualification and regulatory compliance activities.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline
• 3–7 years of relevant electrical engineering experience focused on hardware or product development
• Extensive hands-on experience designing power electronics, particularly in areas such as DC-DC converters, motor drives, high-voltage systems, or energy-storage interfaces
• Strong background in mixed-signal circuit development, including analog signal conditioning, ADCs, sensors, and filtering
• Demonstrated FPGA development experience with VHDL or Verilog, including simulation, synthesis, and hardware-level validation
• Proficiency with Altium or comparable PCB design software
• Strong understanding of GD&T and formal engineering documentation
• Significant laboratory experience with advanced electrical test equipment
• Experience collaborating with contract manufacturers, PCB fabrication partners, and component suppliers
• Excellent communication skills

Nice to have

• Master’s degree

Benefits

• equity ownership through stock options
• comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, and vision) through an HRA with a generous allowance
• retirement savings plan
• unlimited paid time off
