Develop new power architectures to meet requirements for power density, efficiency, thermal performance, etc.
Run simulations using LTSPICE and MATLAB
Make design decisions on power capability, semiconductor selection, safety, reliability, regulatory compliance, manufacturability, etc.
Design control architectures and implement them in hardware and firmware
Proactively develop and track requirements/schedule and provide regular updates
Drive risk management of electronic assemblies (FMEA, hazard analysis, DFMA, supply-chain)
Provide technical leadership while communicating effectively in a dynamic multi-disciplinary team environment
Plan and conduct engineering tests
Develop verification plans and acceptance testing protocols for electronic assemblies and firmware
Test power supplies and other electronic assemblies for EMC, stability, life, environmental effects, stress, etc.
Generate and release documents for designs, assembly, acceptance-testing, manufacturing etc.
Assist other electrical engineers in designs and testing of analog and digital circuits
Perform failure analysis on new and returned systems from the field
Qualifications
To succeed in this position the candidate will have:

8+ years in design of AC/DC and DC/DC converter topologies that includes PFC, flyback, buck, boost, buck-boost, half- and full-bridge, resonant and quasi-resonant, multi-phase, etc.
10+ years experience designing high power (kW and above), high-voltage (>100V) DC/DC power conversion
Subject matter expert on tradeoffs of power MOSFET, IGBTs, SCRs, diodes and semiconductor technologies including GaN and SiC
Great understanding of power and mechanical design tradeoffs between high-voltage, power, weight, space, environmental, safety, thermal, etc.
Designed high-reliably power supplies from the ground-up used in demanding applications
Extensive implementation experience of thermal management for high-power designs
Experience with control systems, analog compensation, PID, digital control implemented in firmware or VHDL, etc. used in power supply circuitry
Strong experience in complex system integrations
Experience dealing with revisions to requirements and schedule in a dynamic environment
Experience working with CAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART or similar communication protocols
Good understanding of testing EMI and mitigation techniques for EMC
Desired experience and skills:

Worked in AS-9100, ISO-9001, DoD, MIL-STD related regulatory environments
Experience with DO-178 and/or DO-254 design flows
Firmware design and implementation for microcontroller-based battery management systems and closed-loop power control using design processes similar to DO-178.
Implementing MCU and/or FPGA firmware for power applications
Startup experience is helpful
Hands-on, cable assembly, wiring crimping, machine shop experience
Understanding of different battery cell electrochemistry and the electronics that go into a battery management system
