Job summary

Magna-Power Electronics (MPE) in Flemington, NJ, seeks a Power Electronics Embedded Systems Engineer to join the R&D team and drive control algorithms and firmware for multi-kilowatt power supplies.

You will model in MATLAB/Simulink, generate production-ready C code, and work with TI C2000 MCUs, APIs, and high‑reliability hardware. Collaboration with engineering, test, and manufacturing is essential.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Power Electronics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Five (5) plus years experience in Power Electronics Engineering.
• Circuit modeling and simulation experience (MATLAB, Simulink, Python) preferred.
• Experience with Texas Instrument microcontrollers, C2000 preferred.
• Experience with real-time operating systems.
• Experience with UART, SPI, and I2C.
• Exposure to Python programming
• Exposure to laboratory communications (SCPI, Labview, etc.)
• Familiarity with modern test equipment
• Experience with software development processes (GIT, issues tracking, etc.)

Responsibilities

• Build and refine closed-loop control models in MATLAB/Simulink with auto-generation of production-ready C code.
• Tune digital compensators (PI/PID, state-space, predictive) for high-bandwidth control.
• Write, optimize, and document bare-metal C for TI C2000 and other 32-bit MCUs.
• Develop low-level drivers (ADC, PWM, timers, SPI, I²C, UART, RS‑485, CAN, Ethernet) with deterministic execution.
• Implement high-resolution PWM strategies for hard-switched power electronics.
• Interface firmware with gate-driver, current-sense, voltage-sense, and isolation circuitry.
• Design 2- to 4-layer PCBs in Altium for mixed-signal and high-voltage layouts.
• Bring-up and debug prototypes with oscilloscopes and power analyzers.
• Author automated Python/LabVIEW scripts for regression tests and production programming.
• Generate detailed electrical specs, BOMs, and test plans; contribute to UL/IEC/CE compliance documentation and patent filings.
• Lead design reviews, mentor junior engineers, interface with suppliers and contract manufacturers to resolve DFM/DFA issues.
• Support field-failure analysis and sustainment engineering for products in volume production.
