Job Description:
Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.
When you join Caterpillar, you’rejoining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don’tjust 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.
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.
