• Power Sub-System Design- Filters, Harmonic Control, EMI, Circuit Simulation, Magnetics, Protective Relay Systems, Short Circuit and Stress Analyses
• Control Systems– Servo Control Systems, Motor/Power/Process Control, Digital Feedback Systems, Command Generation, Inertial Stabilization, Navigation Algorithms

This position is an onsite role. Regular travel to Tewksbury, MA; Marlborough, MA; Andover, MA; Woburn, MA; and/or Pelham, NH may be required depending on the assignment. Travel to supplier or customer sites may also be required (up to 10%).

What you will do:

In this role you will select power conversion equipment (rectifiers, inverters, filters, etc.) and tune control loops (current, velocity, position, etc.) for integrated electromechanical solutions. The applications range from cooling subsystems (fans, pumps, flow control valves, etc.) to actuators for motion control of radar elements. You will also be responsible for creating and validating simulation models to evaluate system performance and troubleshoot real-system problems.

You will also be responsible for supporting and driving the execution of product development projects. You will be working with a Team/Technical Lead and under the guidance of an Integrated Product Team (IPT) Lead. Work is performed in a multidisciplinary team environment focused on execution and engineering excellence, using established business, and engineering tools and processes.

• Experience with high voltage systems at kW power levels
• Experience in system modeling or design using MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent

Qualifications we prefer:

• M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major.
• Understanding of classic control theory and vector control of electric motors
• Hands-on experience with power electronics inverters used as motor drives
• Familiarity with induction and permanent magnet electric machines.
• Prior experience as engineering Team Lead (hardware, electrical or integration)
• Ability to create system models capturing implementation-specific characteristics such as propagation delays, quantization, sensor non-linearities, etc.
• Existing US DoD security clearance
