Power Electronics Engineer: Hybrid Motors & Drives

Aska Fly; Firebaugh (CA); Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

ASKA is seeking a Power Electronics Engineer to support motor and hybrid-power leads with shared power-electronics and electrical-interface expertise. You will help design gate-drive, sensing, protection and isolated auxiliary supplies, ensuring robust performance for high‑voltage propulsion systems.

Ideal candidates will have a bachelor’s in electrical engineering and 4+ years in power-converter design, PCB schematics, and laboratory validation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical or electronics engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• 4+ years in power-converter circuit design and laboratory validation.
• Experience designing power-electronics schematics and PCBs, including gate drives, sensing and isolation.
• Ability to evaluate derating, switching-loop parasitics, creepage/clearance and mixed-signal noise during design reviews.
• Experience with oscilloscope-based bring-up, transient characterization and failure investigation on high-voltage converter hardware.

Responsibilities

• Provide shared power-electronics and electrical-interface support to the motor and hybrid-power leads.
• Design gate-drive, sensing, protection, auxiliary-power and interface circuits against allocated requirements.
• Evaluate component derating, tolerances, losses and credible fault behavior before design release.
• Review PCB layout for current paths, switching loops, isolation, noise and manufacturability.
• Bring up prototypes using staged test procedures and appropriate high-voltage laboratory practices.
• Characterize transients, timing, thermal behavior and susceptibility, then resolve findings with the wider team.
• Maintain schematics, bills of materials, analysis reports and changes tied to tested revisions.
• Develop and continually improve power-electronics test methods, measurement checks and acceptance criteria for assigned hardware; use prototype findings to strengthen repeatability, verification coverage and evidence tied to each revision.
