Full Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Power Electronics Engineer to help us design and test critical hardware to power our Humanoid.
Responsibilities:
• Develop conceptual power architectures and conduct trade studies to support key design decisions.
• Design and validate PCBAs for charging products, including both the power stages and the mixed-signal control boards.
• Support design reviews (schematics, layouts, etc).
• Support system integration and hardware bring-up by contributing a hands-on, builder mentality to test execution and debugging.
Requirements:
• Bachelor or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 4+ years of industry experience, you have designed and shipped multiple products to production.
• Experience with grid-tied AC/DC (you must know how to design a PFC from scratch), DC/DC (Buck, Boost, Flyback, etc.), and resonant converters.
• Hands-on experience designing mixed-signal circuits and control boards. You should deeply understand MCUs, their peripherals, and how to implement them in hardware.
• Experience with high voltage applications, protection circuitry, and the common failure modes associated with power electronics designs.
• Experience sizing and designing discrete power electronics (controllers, gate drivers, MOSFETs, inductors, XFRMs, caps, sensing, etc).
• Strong experience in EMI/EMC, filter design, and meeting safety/compliance standards.
• Strong hardware debugging skills. You know how to attack a board or system level problem, document it, and fix it quickly.
Bonus Qualifications:
• Experience with Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) topologies and charging architectures.
• Experience with Altium.
• Experience with PCB layout, designing for power converters, and layout-level EMC mitigations.
• Experience simulating power electronic circuits.
• Experience working with embedded control systems and/or digital power control.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $150,000 - $250,000 annually.
The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
