Job summary

Allocor.Tech in Virginia seeks an engineer with hands-on power electronics experience to own boards and subsystems on Taurus-class controllers.

You will bring up prototypes, define gate drive and sensing architectures, and drive layout constraints for high-dv/dt and thermal performance, while collaborating with the senior engineer on architecture. US‑based, this role includes lab work and test.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years in power electronics, motor drives, inverters, or high‑reliability mixed‑signal boards.
• MOSFET/SIC FETs, gate drivers, current-sense amps, isolated supplies, PWM.
• Schematic capture and ability to read and argue with a layout (Altium preferred).
• Hands‑on lab habits and use of differential probe.
• BSEE or equivalent; bonus: BLDC/PMSM, FOC, CAN, IP‑rated packaging, aerospace/EV powertrain.

Responsibilities

• Design and revise Taurus sections: gate drive, current/voltage sensing, housekeeping supplies, connectors, protection.
• Capture schematics and drive layout constraints for high‑dv/dt, creepage, and thermal performance.
• Bring up prototypes — first power, functional checks, load, thermal and EMI debug — with lab and firmware.
• Write test procedures, support production, and close bench and field issues.
• Learn the full 20–405 V Taurus family so you can grow from a subsection to a complete controller.
