You will design and implement control algorithms for grid-tied power conversion systems - from concept through deployment. Working closely with hardware, firmware, and systems engineers, you will develop the control strategies that make our inverters fast, reliable, and grid-compliant.
Requirements
Responsibilities- Design, develop, and validate control algorithms for grid-tied inverter systems, including grid-following and grid-forming topologies
- Implement real-time control algorithms on embedded platforms (DSP, FPGA)
- Develop and maintain simulation models (MATLAB/Simulink or similar) for controls development and validation
- Support Typhoon hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
- Collaborate with hardware engineers on system-level design, including protection schemes and fault handling
- Participate in design reviews, validation testing, and field commissioning activities
- Document control designs, test procedures, and results to support product development processes
- Troubleshoot and resolve control performance issues in the lab and field
Qualifications - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related field
- 5+ years of experience in controls engineering in the power electronics industry
- Strong background in grid-tied inverter control strategies (grid-following, grid-forming, current control loops)
- Experience implementing real-time controls on embedded platforms (DSP, FPGA - e.g., TI C2000, Xilinx)
- Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink for controls modeling and simulation
- Solid understanding of power electronics fundamentals (AC/DC, DC/AC converters, switching topologies)
- Experience with grid interconnection standards (IEEE 1547, UL 1741)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Preferred - Experience with grid-forming inverter control and virtual synchronous machine (VSM) implementations
- Experience with energy storage or BESS applications
- Knowledge of protection relay coordination and grid fault ride-through (LVRT/HVRT)
Benefits- 401(k) with company matching
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Disability and life insurance
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Paid Time Off (PTO)
- Tuition reimbursement
