Job Description

Electrical Engineer Power Systems

Join us as a Electrical Engineer Power Systems on our Concept Engineering team in Hopkinton, MA or Round Rock, TX to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact.

What you'll achieve

We are seeking a highly experienced Electrical Engineer specializing in high-current and high-voltage power distribution. If you have designed power distribution systems for demanding environments-such as electric vehicles, industrial power systems, high-density compute platforms, or advanced energy storage-this role will leverage your deep expertise.

You will architect and design high-current DC bus bars, power shelves, HV/LV distribution networks, and high-power PCB assemblies that support the next generation of AI compute platforms and datacenter rack-level architectures. This is an early-concept role: you will explore new technologies, build prototypes, evaluate new materials, and guide system-level decisions long before products enter development.

You will:

  • Lead the design, architecture, and analysis of high-current, low-voltage DC power-distribution systems (1 kW-100 kW+) for AI server and rack-scale platforms, including bus bars, high-power PCBAs, and early-phase power-delivery concepts
  • Develop rack-level power-delivery components such as power shelves and battery interfaces, creating system-level topologies focused on safety, thermal performance, and electrical integrity
  • Perform advanced simulations for current density, thermal behavior, electromagnetic/inductive/resistive effects, isolation/creepage/clearance, and EMI/EMC in high-current applications
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, thermal, and architecture teams to deliver manufacturable, scalable designs and support rapid prototyping, bring-up, and early validation
  • Document designs, drive trade studies, stay current on materials/connector technologies, and contribute to product strategy for next-generation AI server power-delivery platforms


Essential Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 10+ years of experience in high-power electrical system design across EV power paths, industrial/UPS systems, or high-current DC/HV distribution
  • Expertise in designing high-current DC bus bars, power shelves, and high-power distribution assemblies
  • Strong experience with high-current PCB design, including heavy-copper layouts, embedded bus bars, and >100 Amps trace design
  • Deep understanding of UL/IEC safety standards, creepage/clearance requirements, and power-system protection principles
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills with the ability to operate effectively in early-concept, ambiguous design environments


Desirable Requirements

  • Experience with rack-scale or server-level power architectures, AI server design constraints (thermal, mechanical, interconnect), and hands-on work such as rapid prototyping, custom bus-bar fabrication, or HV system bring-up
  • Strong proficiency with simulation tools, including multiphysics solvers (Ansys, COMSOL), SPICE/PLECS for power-system modeling, and thermal-analysis tools for high-current conductors
