This company, a developer of much-needed power technology, is looking for a Lead Power Electronics Engineer who can be a hands-on leader for full life-cycle development of board-level hardware.

Company Information

While this company has the energy and innovative culture of a start-up, it’s an established, profitable company developing power technology for multiple industries, including aerospace, defense, and industrial technologies. 2025 was a very successful year, and 2026 is looking even better. They offer a hard-to-find mix of stability, growth, and the ability to make a difference in industry-changing technology.

Position Description

In this role, you’ll be the lead over a team of 3 hardware engineers, doing design, test, debugging, and release of power inverters and converters (10-300 kW). Your responsibilities will be a mix of hands-on development and guiding team members through the full development life-cycle, from concept to release into high volume production.

Other responsibilities include:

  • Evaluate customer/project requirements and selecting appropriate topologies for DC/AC and DC/DC applications
  • Select active semiconductor switching devices as well as passive components required for converter power circuits (capacitors, inductors, transformers, etc.)
  • Have a hand in multiple projects (3-5)
  • Analyze switching and transient behavior of devices to determine limits, proper gating, operation and implementation
  • Design analysis including modeling, simulation, and control loops
  • Optimize designs with an eye toward efficiency, density, and cost
  • Conduct design reviews and follow NPI process
  • Perform hands-on lab work building and debugging prototypes
  • Lead the interface with contractors to outsource project tasks, track the progress per project schedule, and report it to management team

Qualifications

  • BSEE (focus on power electronics) with 8+ years of experience in full development life-cycle power electronics development at the board-level (digital, analog, and power electronic circuit design).
  • Background developing power electronics in the range of 100-300 kW.
  • Experience either as a lead engineer or as a senior engineer, ready to step into a lead-level role.
  • Strong understanding of areas such as:
    – power inverters
    – 3-phase power systems
    – space vector, sinusoidal, and/or discontinuous PWM schemes
    – SiC and GaN devices
    – Circuit simulation software (Matlab, Simulink, LTSpice, etc.)
  • Excellent communication skills, with the proven ability to mentor engineers and be a primary point of contact for the team.
