We are seeking a
Manager of Power Electronics Engineering to lead a team of 10-15 electrical engineers developing next-generation inverter systems for grid applications.
This role combines
technical leadership with team management. You will be responsible not only for guiding engineers, but for driving system-level design decisions and ensuring that our products perform reliably in the field.
You will own the development of power converter platforms and their integration into multi-megawatt systems (~5 MW scale), working across hardware, controls, and system integration disciplines.
Requirements
- Lead and develop a team of 10-15 electrical engineers working on power converter design and integration
- Drive the design and architecture of grid-connected inverter systems at the multi-megawatt scale
- Ensure successful integration of inverter platforms into larger systems (BESS, solar plants, data centers)
- Provide technical leadership in power electronics, including converter design, PCB implementation, controls, protection, and system-level electrical integration (fusing, cabling, grounding, and interconnects)
- Collaborate cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and field engineering teams
- Guide engineering tradeoffs with a focus on performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability
- Lead design reviews, verification & validation efforts (DVT), and product release processes, ensuring designs are thoroughly tested, meet requirements, and perform reliably under real-world operating conditions
- Mentor engineers and elevate the technical capabilities of the team
Qualifications- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (PhD a plus)
- 8+ years of experience in power electronics or related field
- 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams or technical groups
- Strong expertise in:
- Power converter design (DC/AC, DC/DC, inverter systems)
- Medium-voltage and high-power applications
- Grid-connected systems and standards
- PCB design and layout considerations for high-power/high-frequency systems
- Balance-of-system design including protection, cabling, grounding, and interconnects
- Experience designing or integrating megawatt-scale power systems
- Experience leading or overseeing design validation testing (DVT), system test plans, and failure/root-cause analysis
- Solid understanding of system-level design, including controls, thermal, and protection considerations
- Experience with applications such as energy storage, solar PV, or grid infrastructure
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a hands-on engineering mindset
- Ability to communicate clearly and work effectively across disciplines
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
