Job summary

EDGE is seeking a Senior Power Electronics Hardware Design Engineer to lead the design and qualification of high-power electronic hardware for motor drives, MGUs, and propulsion systems. You will own architecture, schematic design, PCB layout, simulation, and environmental qualification across the full hardware lifecycle.

Ideal candidates have 5+ years in power electronics, experience with MOSFET/IGBT/SiC/GaN devices, and strong thermal and EMI/EMC knowledge.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.
Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in power electronics and motor drive hardware design.
Strong knowledge of switching converter topologies (buck, boost, flyback, half/full bridge, three-phase inverter).
Strong knowledge of electrical machines such as alternators, generators, starters, PMSM, BLDC, and BDC motors.
Experience with gate driver design, dead-time management, and short-circuit/overcurrent protection.
Experience with power semiconductor selection, loss calculation, and thermal derating.
Experience with magnetics design and high-current PCB layout practices.
Experience with schematic design and PCB layout tools such as Altium Designer, Mentor PADS, etc.
Experience with power electronics simulation tools such as LTspice, PLECS, PSIM, or Simulink.
Experience with EMC/EMI-aware design practices for switching power stages.
Familiarity with environmental qualification standards such as MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, and RTCA/DO-160.
Knowledge of RTCA/DO-254 and requirements traceability practices.

Responsibilities

Develop power electronics architectures for motor drive and motor generator units (MGU).
Design inverter, rectifier, and bridge stages for PMSM, BLDC, and brushed DC (BDC) machines.
Design gate driver, protection, and isolation circuits for high-power switching stages.
Design starter/generator and alternator power conversion, rectification, and regulation circuits.
Select power semiconductors (MOSFET, IGBT, SiC/GaN) and perform switching/conduction loss and derating analysis.
Design magnetics (inductors, transformers, current sensing) and DC-link/EMI filter stages.
Perform thermal design, heatsink sizing, and cooling analysis for power circuits.
Design current/voltage sensing, isolation, and feedback circuits for closed-loop control.
Perform schematic design and high-current / high-voltage PCB layout activities.
Perform simulation and analysis (LTspice, PLECS, PSIM, Simulink) and design verification.
Design hardware considering EMC/EMI and environmental qualification requirements.
Plan and support power stage bring-up, integration, and qualification tests.
Work in coordination with system, software, electrical machine, test, and certification teams.
