Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical/Electronics Engineer to design, develop, and validate advanced PCBAs for power electronics and hybrid systems applications. This role demands strong expertise in schematic capture , PCB layout using Altium Designer , and a deep understanding of power systems engineering . The ideal candidate will have extensive hands-on experience with high-voltage, high-power designs and the ability to take projects from concept through production.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and development of PCBAs for power electronics applications, including DC-DC converters, motor drives, and hybrid energy systems.
- Utilize Altium Designer to perform schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, and prepare complete manufacturing documentation.
- Conduct design simulations and analyses (SPICE, thermal, SI/PI) to ensure electrical, mechanical, and thermal integrity.
- Optimize designs for thermal management, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and manufacturability (DFM).
- Perform hands-on prototype bring-up, testing, validation, and troubleshooting of developed hardware.
- Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to deliver fully integrated solutions.
- Author clear documentation for designs, test procedures, and compliance certifications.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
- 8+ years of professional experience designing and testing PCBAs for power electronics applications.
- 5+ years of experience with Altium Designer for schematic capture and complex multi-layer PCB layouts.
- Strong working knowledge of power electronics principles, including switching converters, motor drives, battery management, and hybrid energy systems.
- Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM), and familiarity with fabrication and assembly processes.
- Knowledge of relevant standards such as IPC, UL, CE, and best practices for compliance and testing.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and attention to detail.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Direct experience designing for high-voltage (>400VDC) or high-power (>5kW) applications.
- Expertise with thermal design techniques and EMI/EMC mitigation strategies.
- Familiarity with firmware and embedded systems development for hardware validation (even at the troubleshooting level).
- Experience with system-level integration involving power management and control architectures.
Compensation Package:
- Competitive Base Salary
- Comprehensive benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Short and Long Term Disability
- 401(k) Matching with no vesting period
- Generous PTO
