Job description

Power Electronics Engineer — Naval Defense Programs | Philadelphia, PA

Join a team supporting mission-critical power systems for U.S. Navy vessels. If you're passionate about high-voltage power electronics and want your work to matter on a national scale, this is your next move.

What You'll Work On

You’ll be part of engineering efforts touching current and future ship power systems — think rectifiers, inverters, converters, transformers, and control systems operating at serious scale (450V 3-phase and up, including megawatt-class shipboard power). This isn't board-level tinkering — it's application-level work on power plants, propulsion systems, and shipboard electrical infrastructure that keeps the fleet running.

No Navy background? No problem.

We’re looking for strong power systems engineers first. If you've worked with industrial power electronics, utility-scale systems, solar/battery installations, or substations, your skills translate directly — and we’ll bring you up to speed on the naval context.

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on experience with power electronics: rectifiers, inverters, AC-AC/DC-DC converters, IGBTs, harmonic filters, UPS systems, controllers, or relays
• Background in design, controls, or testing of power systems (bonus if you've touched more than one)
• Comfort working with technical standards, test procedures, and safety protocols around high-voltage equipment

Nice to Have

• PLC/HMI programming
• MATLAB/Simulink
• Networking, virtual machines, or containers
• Cybersecurity exposure

The Details

• Location: Philadelphia, PA area — Hybrid schedule depends on the assignment
• Compensation: Up to $110K (DOE)
• Must be a U.S. Citizen

Whether your interest is deep design work, real-time controls, or hands-on testing and troubleshooting, we have teams built around each — tell us which excites you most.
