Full Job Description
Position Summary:

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Power Electronics Engineer with deep expertise in switched-mode power conversion, feedback control systems, and battery charging applications.

This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer with a proven track record delivering high-performance power electronic products from concept through production. The successful candidate will design innovative, high-efficiency power conversion solutions in a collaborative, product-focused environment while providing technical leadership across New Product Introduction, Sustaining Engineering, Advanced Engineering, and R&D.

The role requires strong experience with power converter design, including Power Factor Correction, LLC resonant converters, Phase-Shifted Full Bridge converters, flyback converters, isolated and non-isolated DC-DC conversion, and digitally controlled power systems.

Specific Duties:
  • Lead power electronics projects from concept and architecture through design, validation, certification, manufacturing ramp-up, and production.
  • Define requirements and technical solutions with Product Management and cross-functional engineering teams.
  • Own power converter architecture, topology selection, modeling, simulation, design reviews, prototype bring-up, and validation.
  • Design AC-DC PFC, LLC, PSFB, flyback, auxiliary, and isolated/non-isolated DC-DC converter systems.
  • Develop and optimize digital control algorithms; perform control loop analysis, compensation design, and stability verification.
  • Design and validate magnetics, current sensing, gate drives, protection circuits, and power semiconductor solutions including Silicon, SiC, and GaN.
  • Debug and characterize systems at component, board, and product levels in lab, manufacturing, and customer environments.
  • Lead root-cause analysis and resolve technical issues during development, production, and field operation.
  • Support safety, regulatory, environmental, and EMI/EMC compliance.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and mentor engineers through reviews, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
  • Other duties as required.

Requirements
  • Education in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
  • Minimum 10 years of hands-on industry experience in power electronics design and development, including technical leadership and ownership of one or more commercially released products delivered through the complete product lifecycle
  • Strong experience with PFC, LLC, PSFB, flyback, and isolated/non-isolated DC-DC converter design.
  • Experience with digital and analog control systems, embedded control, compensation techniques, and loop stability analysis.
  • Knowledge of power semiconductors, gate drives, magnetics, current sensing, protection circuits, thermal design, PCB layout, and electro-mechanical integration.
  • Proficiency with simulation tools such as LTspice, PLECS, PSIM, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent.
  • Experience with safety, EMI/EMC, and regulatory requirements for power electronic products.
  • Strong debugging, troubleshooting, communication, organization, and time-management skills.
  • Comfortable working with evolving requirements and balancing performance, cost, manufacturability, reliability, schedule, and business needs.
  • Consistently exhibit and model Delta Q values (Collaboration, Perseverance, Innovation, Driving Results).

Benefits

Base Salary: $125,000 - $150,000 per year plus bonus.

The compensation offered will be determined by experience, qualifications, knowledge, and skills.

Additional Benefits:
  • Annual incentive (bonus) program
  • Comprehensive health and dental benefits with Sunlife Financial
  • Paid time off including vacation plus 8 days of personal time per year
  • $300 annual Health Spending Account
  • Employee & Family Assistance programming with Inkblot Therapy/GreenShield
  • In-house gym and showers
  • Free employee parking
