Power Electronics Engineer

Overview

Power Electronics Engineer to design, develop, test, and integrate power electronics hardware for hybrid-electric and aerospace power systems.

What you'll do

• Design and develop power electronics for hybrid-electric powertrains, including rectifiers, PCUs, DC-DC converters, motor controllers/ESCs, and power distribution boards.
• Create schematics and PCB layouts covering power stages, gate drives, sensing, protection, and control interfaces.
• Design and optimize power distribution architecture across generators, batteries, motors, and electrical loads.
• Perform component selection, electrical sizing, thermal analysis, failure mode identification, and derating for aerospace applications.
• Develop simulation models for converters, motor drives, power distribution, and system-level electrical architecture for software-in-loop.
• Lead prototype development with board bring-up, debugging, characterization, hardware validation, and integration.
• Implement protection, isolation, grounding, current/voltage sensing, fault detection, and safety mechanisms.

What you'll need

• 4+ years of professional experience in aerospace, EV, industrial, or other high-performance electrical systems.
• Strong fundamentals in power conversion, rectification, switching circuits, and inverter systems.
• Hands-on experience designing and debugging power electronics hardware from schematic through working prototypes.
• Experience with rectifiers, DC-DC converters, inverters, motor controllers/ESCs, or power distribution systems.
• Experience with power semiconductor devices, gate drives, magnetics, current/voltage sensing, and thermal management.
• Strong PCB design experience, including multilayer boards and high-current/high-frequency layouts.
• Simulation tool experience with PLECS, LTspice, PSIM, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent.
