About the Role

This position is within the core Engineering R&D group focused on our Solid-State Transformer (SST) platform. The team defines and delivers the next-generation power module, aiming for higher power density to reduce footprint and thermal load. We seek a technically deep power electronics engineer focused on increasing efficiency while reducing cost per watt.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop power conversion circuits and magnetics for the SST platform, optimizing for power density, efficiency, and thermal performance.
• Evaluate and integrate advanced power semiconductor devices (particularly, GaN) and planar magnetics to increase power throughput while shrinking module footprint.
• Translate modeling and simulation results into benchtop prototypes, and reconcile differences between predicted and measured performance.
• Drive design trade-offs across power density, efficiency, thermal management, and cost per watt to meet next-generation product targets.
• Co-design with mechanical and thermal engineering to jointly optimize packaging, cooling, and power density.
• Collaborate with controls engineering to integrate power modules into the SST platform.
• Lead root-cause analysis and design iteration based on test data to continuously improve power density and reliability.

Requirements

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering.
• 4+ years of nonacademic experience for Ph.D. candidates (6+ years for M.S. candidates).
• Hands-on experience in designing power electronics, particularly if focused on power density.
• Ability to translate modeling and simulation to benchtop performance and reconcile differences between theory and practice.
• Experience co-designing power electronics with mechanical and thermal engineering teams, balancing electrical performance against packaging and cooling constraints.
• Ability to lead technical execution of significant power electronics designs with a high degree of autonomy, escalating major trade-offs as needed.
• Experience mentoring less experienced engineers and contributing to technical design reviews within the team.
