Original job description
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a hardware engineering team taking early-stage prototypes toward deployable alpha systems for initial design partners. This hands-on role focuses on building high-voltage power electronics and using AI-enabled workflows to accelerate development.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop prototype systems into structured, testable hardware suitable for customer use.
- Design 800V-class DC power conversion, switching, and distribution systems using modern semiconductors such as SiC.
- Model and validate electrical, thermal, and system behavior with SPICE, PLECS, or similar tools.
- Bring up, debug, and characterize hardware in the lab using high-power equipment.
- Use AI tools, including agents and language models, to speed up design, testing, and iteration.
- Coordinate PCB fabrication, component sourcing, and packaging with external partners.
- Balance performance, thermal management, 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; relevant experience may range up to 10 or more years.
- Experience taking hardware from prototype through simulation, bring-up, validation, and iteration.
- Hands-on experience with gate-driver design for fast-switching architectures.
- Familiarity with SPICE, PLECS, circuit design, high-voltage DC systems, and SiC or GaN devices.
- 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 engineering workflows.
- Experience in EVs, EV charging, solar, battery storage, or other high-voltage, high-power switching applications is useful.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Base salary range: $110,000 to $250,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
LOCATION
On-site in Detroit, Michigan. Candidates must be located in or willing to relocate to Detroit.
