Original job description
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an energy technology team developing high-voltage power systems. You will turn early-stage prototypes into testable alpha hardware for initial design partners, combining hands-on engineering with AI-enabled workflows.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Refine lab-scale prototypes into structured, testable hardware systems ready for customer evaluation.
- Design high-voltage DC power conversion, switching, and distribution architectures, including systems using SiC devices.
- Model and validate electrical, thermal, and system-level performance using simulation tools such as SPICE or PLECS.
- Lead hardware bring-up, debugging, and characterization with high-power equipment, addressing switching, timing, sensing, and protection challenges.
- Use AI tools, including agents and language models, to accelerate design, simulation, testing, and iteration.
- Coordinate PCB fabrication, component sourcing, and packaging with external partners.
- Balance performance, thermal requirements, reliability, and manufacturability in system-level design decisions.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 2 years of experience designing, prototyping, and testing power electronics systems, with experience taking hardware from prototype through validation.
- Hands-on skills in circuit design, gate drivers for fast-switching architectures, and high-voltage or high-power systems.
- Experience with electrical simulation tools such as SPICE and PLECS, and familiarity with technologies such as SiC or GaN.
- A degree in Electrical Engineering or demonstrated aptitude in power electronics.
- Strong intuition for electrical systems and the ability to reason across electrical, thermal, and mechanical tradeoffs.
- Experience integrating AI tools into an engineering workflow.
- Background in EVs, EV charging, solar, or battery storage is useful.
- Curiosity demonstrated through hands-on projects, such as Formula SAE, is welcome.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Base salary range: $175,000 to $250,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
