We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it. We are seeking an experienced Electrical/Electronics Systems Engineer to lead the design, development, and integration of complex electrical systems for power conversion and distribution systems in electrified platforms. This role emphasizes system architecture, PCB-level design, advanced component selection, EMI/EMC compliance, and power filter design, including LCL filters. The successful candidate will collaborate across cross-functional teams to deliver robust, compliant, and optimized systems, ensuring strong performance across electrical, thermal, electromagnetic, and packaging domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Define system architecture for power conversion and distribution systems, translating product requirements into subsystem and PCB-level specifications.
• Lead the design and development of LV/HV power conversion systems, including AC/DC, DC/DC, and inverter-based architectures.
• Own PCB architecture decisions such as stack-up, partitioning, grounding strategy, and creepage/clearance for high-reliability, EMI-resilient designs.
• Drive component selection at both system and PCB levels, including power semiconductors, magnetics, passives, and protection devices, with consideration for derating, cost, and lifecycle.
• Ensure EMI/EMC compliance through effective PCB design practices, filtering, shielding, and system-level noise mitigation strategies.
• Design, size, and integrate LCL and input/output filters for power converters, including resonance control and damping approaches.
• Partner with firmware, controls, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to achieve seamless end-to-end system integration.
• Define and execute verification and validation activities, including EMI testing, power quality evaluation, and system-level debugging.
• Perform simulation and analysis using SPICE and related tools to validate switching behavior, power integrity, efficiency, and overall robustness.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards such as IEC, CISPR, UL, and CE, and deliver complete design documentation, technical reviews, and validation reports.

Technical Skills

• System architecture and requirements engineering
• LV and HV system design for batteries, power distribution, and power electronics
