About the role
- There are no organizational handoffs when a difficult problem crosses the boundary between electrical, software, mechanical, manufacturing, supply chain, or test engineering.
- This is a hands-on individual-contributor role.
Responsibilities
- Own electrical architecture and PCBA design for a rugged energy-storage and microgrid product.
- Design and bring up hardware for battery systems, battery-management electronics, power conversion, power distribution, protection, sensing, diagnostics, and control interfaces.
- Develop high-efficiency switching power electronics using modern power devices, including advanced wide-bandgap devices where appropriate.
- Design microcontroller-based control hardware, including supporting power, clocking, reset, sensing, communications, isolation, and interface circuitry.
- Design electrical filters, grounding approaches, shielding strategies, and EMI/EMC mitigation features for high-power switching systems.
- Design and review multilayer PCBs involving mixed-signal circuitry, high-current paths, switching power electronics, power integrity, thermal constraints, and reliable digital interfaces.
- Develop and execute board-level, subsystem-level, and full-system validation tests, including thermal, EMI/EMC, fault, abuse-case, and field testing where appropriate.
- Work directly with manufacturing, supply chain, PCB fabricators, assembly vendors, component suppliers, and internal engineering teams to support prototype builds and production transition.
- Support production testing, investigate failures, and own corrective improvements throughout the product lifecycle.
Requirements
- Deep practical expertise in power electronics, energy-storage hardware, battery systems, battery-management electronics, switching converters, power distribution, or closely related electrical systems.
- Experience designing switching power supplies, power-conversion hardware, power-distribution electronics, sensing circuits, protection circuits, or control-interface hardware.
- Experience with battery-system electronics, including battery-management hardware, cell monitoring, balancing, protection, diagnostics, and communication interfaces.
- Experience designing microcontroller-based hardware and the supporting circuitry needed for reliable embedded control.
- Familiarity with digital control of power converters or similar power-electronics systems.
- Experience with multilayer boards, mixed-signal design, high-current layout, grounding, filtering, switching noise, power integrity, thermal behavior, and ruggedized electronics.
- Ability to read datasheets deeply, select components, define interfaces, and make first-principles engineering tradeoffs.
- Experience debugging integrated hardware/software systems using lab equipment and structured root-cause analysis.
- Experience designing for noise, thermal behavior, manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, and environmental robustness.
- Ability to work independently with minimal oversight while collaborating closely across engineering disciplines.
Nice to have
- Designing electronics for harsh environments.
- Circuit simulation and analysis tools.
- Signal-integrity and power-integrity analysis.
- Working with PCB fabrication, assembly, component sourcing, manufacturing engineering, and supply chain teams.
- Strong switching power-converter fundamentals
- familiarity with advanced wide-bandgap power devices is preferred.
