Job description

Success Matcher Recruitment is proud to partner with our client, a pioneering startup in the direct

current (DC) power distribution space, to find a visionary AI Native Electrical Engineer.

Our client is building the future of energy infrastructure for data centers. We are looking for a

hands-on, full-stack hardware expert to take early-stage prototypes and evolve them into

deployable alpha hardware systems for first-design partners. This is a high-impact role where you

will turn complex concepts into real, working products.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Prototype to Product: Own the transition from rough, lab-scale systems to structured, testable, and customer-ready alpha hardware.
• High-Voltage Design: Develop and design 800V-class high-voltage DC power systems, focusing on power conversion, switching, and distribution using modern semiconductors (SiC/GaN).
• Simulation & Validation: Model and evaluate electrical, thermal, and system-level behaviors using tools like SPICE or PLECS to iterate rapidly.
• Lab Leadership: Lead hands-on bring-up, debugging, and characterization. You will solve real-world issues across switching, timing, sensing, and protection.
• AI-Integrated Workflow: Leverage modern AI-native tools (agents, LLMs, and simulation augmentation) to accelerate design and testing cycles.
• End-to-End Execution: Coordinate with external partners for PCB fabrication and component sourcing while ensuring the final system is cohesive and presentable.

What We Are Looking For:

• Experience: 4+ years of professional experience in designing, prototyping, and testing
• Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of Power Electronics, Circuit Design, Gate Drivers, and High-Voltage DC systems.
• Tooling: Proficiency with SPICE, PLECS, and modern semiconductor materials like Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN).
• Mindset: A "builder" mentality with a strong bias toward action and first-principles thinking. You should be comfortable in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment (~60
