Job description

We are looking for a highly motivated Power Electronics Engineer to join our Sensing and Communications Department in Concord, MA or Groton, CT.

Successful candidates will have a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus in power systems design. You will support the design and development of a wide variety of underwater maritime systems including electromechanical actuation systems, payloads for unmanned underwater vehicles, acoustic communication transceivers, motor systems, and high‑power acoustic transmit arrays.

Candidates must have a proven track record of designing, implementing, and testing high voltage/high power electrical components of prototype R&D systems. Experience designing energy storage system components, DC/DC converters, power amplifiers and magnetics, and interfacing with embedded processors is required. Previous experience laying out boards and/or managing layout vendors is highly desired, as is experience designing for EMC and integrating high power components into larger systems.

Responsibilities

Design, development, integration, and debugging of complex power electronics systems
Travel to support on‑site testing (up to 25%)
Design of DC/DC and AC/DC power systems ranging from 500W to 50kW for harsh operating environments
Experience with high availability power supplies and/or failover systems

Qualifications

B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in power systems
BSEE with 4+ years of relevant experience, or MSEE with 1+ years of relevant experience
Experience with power system design: circuit analysis and simulation, component selection, schematic capture, PCB design, and verification testing
Comprehensive knowledge of electronic power devices including MOSFETs, Schottky Diodes, SiC FETs, and IGBTs
Proven experience designing with electromechanical actuators, DC/DC converters, power amplifiers, and magnetics
Experience troubleshooting electronic systems
Basic understanding of MATLAB‑aided data analysis
Proficiency with electronic laboratory test equipment: DMM, oscilloscope, function generator, digital voltage and current measurement probes
Experience or familiarity with electronics assembly, wiring, crimping, and soldering is a plus
Prior experience designing electronics for underwater maritime systems
Prior experience designing electric machines and/or drives
Experience working with acoustic transducers
Familiarity with power converter topologies (buck, boost, flyback, SEPIC, etc.) and their control methodologies
Experience with or oversight of electronic layout, bill‑of‑materials, and assembly processes
Experience creating technical content for new products, proposals, or business development pursuits
Experience working in an R&D environment and in small multidisciplinary teams
Experience mentoring junior EE staff on electronics design, PCB implementation, and board troubleshooting
Experience briefing customers
Experience with C/C++ or Python coding for microcontrollers or similar embedded platforms
