Electrical Engineer, Power Electronics PCB Design

The role

This person will own power flow for AC/DC systems and subsystems in low-voltage applications. They will design production-level PCBs for DC/DC converters, protection systems, and health monitoring for autonomous platforms.

What you will do

• Own power flow for AC/DC systems and subsystems in low-voltage applications
• Design production-level PCBs for DC/DC converters, protection systems, and health monitoring
• Take designs from prototype and proof of concept through to production-ready manufacturing
• Design to EMI/EMC requirements for high-current, high-power systems
• Partner with mechanical, embedded, and systems engineers to integrate power electronics
• Build and validate prototypes and drive handoff to volume production

Required qualifications

• 3+ years in power electronics or electrical engineering with hands-on, production-level PCB design
• Proven track record designing DC/DC converters, protection systems, and health monitoring from schematic through manufacturing
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC requirements for high-current, high-power designs (1kW to 50kW)
• Demonstrated ability to prototype, prove out a concept, and push it to production-ready manufacturing
• Experience with low-voltage AC/DC systems (<240VAC, <60VDC)

Nice to have

• Experience designing for austere or rugged environments (thermal, shock and vibration, ingress protection)
• Background in industrial, automotive, oil and gas, rail, or defense power systems
• Proficiency with PCB design and simulation tools such as Altium Designer, LTSpice, or similar
• Experience with wide-bandgap devices (SiC/GaN) and resonant topologies (LLC, dual active bridge)
• Active clearance

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Equity packages
• Health, dental, and vision insurance fully covered for employees
• 401(k)
• Unlimited PTO
• Two-week company holiday at the end of every calendar year
• Fertility benefits

Before you apply

• Candidate must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
