Job summary

Miller in Milwaukee is seeking an experienced Principal Engineer to architect and validate control systems for the next generation of welding engines. You will translate concepts into working prototypes and drive designs toward manufacturability.

Join a hands-on R&D culture, mentor teams, and partner with divisions to align customer needs with robust, high-performance power electronics.

Qualifications

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering required; an advanced degree with a controls or power electronics focus is a plus.
5-10+ years of relevant control systems and power electronics experience, or 5+ years for an exceptional engineer who has been a key contributor across many successful designs.
Demonstrated experience designing and stabilizing digital control loops for switch-mode power conversion.
Proven multi-kW switch-mode design experience, including SiC or other wide-bandgap devices, full-bridge topologies, gate drive, and magnetics.
A track record of taking concepts from modeling and simulation through working hardware and measured results.
Working knowledge of PCB layout for power and mixed-signal designs, with familiarity with design-for-manufacturing and third-party standards such as UL, CSA, and CE.
A self-starter with strong analytical instincts who thrives in a hands-on R&D environment.

Responsibilities

Architect and model the control systems that define how the next generation of welding engines behave.
Take new power conversion concepts from control simulation to working proof-of-concept prototypes that show what is possible.
Create the reference designs that help our divisions reach the market faster and with less risk.
Prove out emerging power conversion technology and define what it takes to make it robust, manufacturable, and repeatable.
Partner with division representatives to turn their customer needs into the right technology bets.
Mentor across the engineering community and raise the bar for control and power electronics design throughout Miller.
