What You’ll Do
  • Design, develop, and industrialize high-voltage power converter hardware for automotive and energy applications
  • Take ownership of hardware development from initial specifications to design, prototyping, reliability validation, and production
  • Capture detailed hardware requirements, build models of power converters, select components, design schematics, perform PCB layouts, and validate prototypes
  • Design medium-voltage products, such as grid power conditioning systems
  • Collaborate with systems architecture, mechanical, PCB layout, manufacturing, reliability, and firmware engineering teams to design, test, validate, and manufacture power converters
  • Design insulation systems at PCBA, subassembly, and cabinet levels, considering dielectric, thermal, viscosity, and structural strength trade-offs for cost-effective mass production
  • Use multi-physics design and simulation tools (e.g., Altium/OrCAD, Ansys, CATIA/3DX) to support insulation system design
  • Ensure compliance with safety and regulatory requirements for power grid and battery applications
  • Contribute to the architecture and modeling of power electronics topologies that improve performance and efficiency
What You’ll Bring
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in designing and industrializing high-voltage power converter products
  • Strong understanding of power converter topologies and experience with high-voltage semiconductor selection (IGBTs, Si/SiC/GaN MOSFETs, and Diodes), design of gate drive circuits, and analog/digital sensing
  • Familiarity with insulation design and material selection based on dielectric and thermal properties for reliable mass production
  • Proficiency in the theory and application of magnetics (inductors, transformers) and capacitors for high-voltage and high-frequency power conversion
  • Familiar with schematic capture, circuit simulation tools, and PCB layout techniques for minimal inductance/capacitance and EMC optimization
  • Proficiency with basic EE tools (Oscilloscopes, Network Analyzers, Signal Generators) and test automation programming
  • Experience with high-frequency transformer insulation system design and high voltage insulated cooling systems
  • Understanding of safety compliance for grid and battery applications, including UL and CE requirements
  • Knowledge of basic control theory and experience with embedded programming
