Senior Electrical Engineer, Power Electronics

The role

This senior level engineer will own and drive the electrical architecture of energy storage systems including inverters, batteries, and interconnect devices. You will lead a team of electrical engineers and move products from concept through high-volume manufacturing and field deployment.

What you will do

• Set the electrical architecture and technical direction for the full product line.
• Build, mentor, and lead a team of electrical engineers.
• Drive LV embedded systems and power converter design and validation.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, test, reliability, and manufacturing teams.
• Own production end of line testers.
• Debug and resolve complex system-level electrical issues.
• Champion continuous product improvement using field data and manufacturing feedback.

Required qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in electrical system design in high-power applications like energy storage, inverters, EV charging, or motor drives.
• Demonstrated experience taking complex electrical products from initial architecture through production ramp and field deployment.
• Strong command of PCB design and hands-on bring-up skills.
• Ability to write and run a transient thermal simulation in MATLAB or Python.
• Familiarity with embedded systems, microcontrollers and their peripherals, and scripting for test automation and data analysis.
• Working knowledge of control theory as applied to power conversion.
• Experience with automotive or industrial communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet).
• Proficiency with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, power analyzers, function generators, and programmable power supplies.
• A track record of leading or mentoring engineers.

Nice to have

• BSEE or higher, particularly with a focus on power electronics.
• Experience designing products for UL/CSA/IEC certification and regulatory compliance.
• Familiarity with electric motor design, thermal simulation, or mechanical integration.
• Experience in high-volume manufacturing environments and DFM/DFT optimization.
• Altium preferred
