Full Job Description
Role Overview
As the Controls Engineer, you will serve as the technical leader for our power electronics control systems. Joining our multi-disciplinary engineering team, you will drive the modeling, development, and validation of advanced embedded controls for high-power solid-state converters and inverters. Your expertise will directly impact the reliability and efficiency of our medium-duty EV platform's charging and drivetrain systems.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the development and implementation of advanced control algorithms for high-power electronics, including AC-DC, DC-DC, AFE, and multi-level inverters.
Design model-based embedded control architectures using MATLAB/Simulink and validate them utilizing Typhoon HIL and real-time platforms.
Manage and oversee the firmware engineering lifecycle for power electronics, from C/C++ development to hardware-software integration.
Drive system reliability and quality improvements across solid-state converter designs utilizing Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodologies.
Collaborate with battery and integration teams to implement fast DC charging protocols (e.g., CCS, NACS) and ensure seamless BMS integration.
Required Skills & Experience
10+ years of experience in power electronics, solid-state converters, and embedded control systems.
Proficiency in model-based design (MATLAB/Simulink), HIL validation (Typhoon), and microcontroller programming (C/C++, TI C2000).
Strong understanding of high-power converter topologies (DAB, resonant converters) and advanced inverter control strategies.
Excellent technical leadership skills with a proven history of managing complex R&D projects and multi-disciplinary teams.
Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience working with megawatt-scale EV charging infrastructure and energy storage control systems.
Familiarity with automotive communication protocols (CAN, J1939) and relevant safety standards (UL 3141, IEC 62619).
Proven track record of scaling high-voltage power electronics systems (480V+) from initial architecture to production.
Advanced certification in Design for Six Sigma (DFSS).
