Senior Electronics Design Engineer

The role

You will design and develop low-voltage and mixed-signal hardware for Solid-State Transformer subsystems. You will own boards from schematic through bring-up and release to production.

What you will do

• Design low-voltage and mixed-signal circuits for SST products.
• Select microcontrollers and key ICs.
• Design and validate control, sensing, and protection circuitry.
• Design isolated interface circuits.
• Build redundancy and fault tolerance into board designs.
• Implement industrial and high-bandwidth communication interfaces.
• Partner with a dedicated PCB layout engineer.
• Own full lifecycle development of PCBAs.
• Collaborate with firmware and mechanical engineers.
• Maintain documentation of requirements, design decisions, and release notes.

Required qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent industry experience.
• 5+ years designing low-voltage and mixed-signal hardware.
• Experience in high-reliability or high-voltage systems.
• Experience taking boards from schematic through bring-up and production.
• Solid analog and mixed-signal design skills.
• Knowledge of component selection and derating for harsh environments.
• Experience designing isolated interface circuits between voltage domains.
• Hands-on experience with communication interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN/CAN-FD, or Modbus.
• Proficiency with PCB CAD and simulation tools.
• Hands-on PCB layout experience.
• Strong board bring-up, debugging, and lab testing skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English.

Nice to have

• Shipped a PCBA in a high-volume product.
• Exposure to functional safety (IEC 61508, ISO 13849) or HV design and certification standards (IEC 61800, UL 508C, IEC 62477).
• Experience with high-reliability design for industrial, grid, or similar harsh-environment applications.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary + Incentive Stock Options
• Medical, vision, and dental benefits for employees and dependents
• Company paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insurance
• 401k retirement savings plan through Empower
• Paid time off (PTO), paid sick days, and paid company holidays
• Commuter Benefits
• 100% paid maternal leave (12 weeks) and paternal leave (6 weeks)
