Motor Controller Engineer: SiC Inverter Lead

Allocor Tech; Crozet (VA); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Allocor.Tech in Virginia is seeking an engineer to own boards and subsystems for Taurus-class controllers, including gate drive, current/voltage sensing, and auxiliary power paths.

You will bring prototypes to life, perform functional, thermal, and EMI tests with lab and firmware, and push designs toward production. Collaboration with the architecture owner ensures robust execution and timely delivery.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years on power electronics, motor drives, inverters, or high-reliability mixed-signal boards.
• Working knowledge of MOSFETs or SiC FETs, gate drivers, current-sense amps, isolated supplies, PWM stages.
• Schematic capture and the ability to read — and argue with — a layout (Altium preferred).
• Hands-on lab habits and measurement proficiency with differential probes.

Responsibilities

• Design and revise Taurus sections: gate drive, current/voltage sensing, housekeeping supplies, connectors and 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 to grow from a subsection to a complete controller.
