Primary Objective

Design, develop, and optimize power conversion systems and electronic circuits for our next-generation products. You will work across the full development lifecycle — from concept and simulation through prototype, validation, and production release — collaborating closely with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineering teams.

Major Areas of Accountability

• Apply theelectricalprinciples todesign,developand improveelectrical products and systems.


• Design and develop power conversion topologies including DC-DC converters, inverters, rectifiers, and motor drives from specifications through production.


• Perform circuit simulation and analysis using tools such as SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent tovalidatedesigns before hardware builds.


• Conduct thermal analysis,componentselection, and magnetic design (transformers, inductors) for high-efficiency, high-reliability systems.


• Lead hardware verification and testing, including EMI/EMC compliance, efficiency characterization, and stress testing to meet regulatory standards (UL, CE, IEC).


• Collaborate with firmware engineers to develop and tune control algorithms (e.g., PWM, PID, MPPT) and support bring-up anddebugging ofpower management systems.


• Create andmaintaindesign documentation including schematics, BOM, test plans, and engineering reports in compliance with internal quality and configuration management processes.


• Develop concepts and designs that meet or exceed the system's cost and performance goals. Also, develops concepts and designs for support of pre-sale applications as applicable. Plans and estimates cross functional development efforts.


• Provide technical reports, presentations, knowledgesharing. Reviews progress &evaluateresults related to projects.


• Supports digital communication and third-party interfaces. Interfaces with vendors of electronic components, key developmenttoolsand technologies. (apply to senior levels)

General Qualifications

• BS degree in electrical engineering or related field; some related work experience.


• Expected travel averaging less than 10%, domestic and international.
