About the role

  • This role requires technical breadth spanning device-level semiconductor physics (including switching and parasitics), circuit-level dynamics, and multi-megawatt system-level converter architectures.
  • This role requires an agile, self-motivated professional who is comfortable navigating a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

  • Architectural design and detailed schematic implementation of advanced, bi-directional, isolated and non-isolated converter topologies (e.g., DAB, resonant topologies, multi-level converters MMCs, and multi-stage SSTs).
  • Partner with mechanical and manufacturing engineers to integrate high-power converter modules and stacks with thermal management systems, racking, structural support, and system-level cabinet into manufacturable designs.
  • Design layouts to minimize the critical effects of circuit parasitics - e.g. loop inductance, and gate loop parasitics, to manage voltage overshoot, ringing, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Design custom, high-frequency, magnetic components, balancing core losses, skin/proximity copper losses, and thermal dissipation.
  • Partner closely with embedded controls and firmware engineers to implement digital control algorithms.
  • Lead hands-on bring-up, testing, debugging, and iterative hardware revisions of high-power modules, validating physical electrical circuit and thermal behavior against theoretical models.
  • Implementation of state-of-the-art DFX practices throughout the hardware design cycle, including Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), Design for Testability (DFT), and Design for Cost (DFC) to enable seamless, high-yield mass production.
  • Collaborate closely with NPI and manufacturing engineers to establish robust production assembly flows, end-of-line functional testing configurations, and second-sourcing strategies for critical path components.
  • DFX: Expertise in modern Design for Excellence (DFX) principles. Demonstrated capability in identifying manufacturing bottlenecks, reducing Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), and improving product yield rates without sacrificing performance.
  • Familiarity with modern PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) structures and enterprise PLM/CAD ecosystems (e.g., Dassault Systèmes / 3DEXPERIENCE / DSX environments) to manage bills of materials (BOMs), engineering change orders (ECOs), and multi-site production handoffs.

Requirements

  • The ideal candidate has a proven track record of transitioning power electronics from initial prototypes to high-volume mass production.
  • You must be highly organized, an excellent communicator, and capable of operating with complete discretion.
  • Experience with medium-voltage (MV) systems and converters (e.g., 13-kV and 35-kV classes), including advanced insulation coordination, clearance/creepage design, and partial discharge mitigation.
  • Experience with utility-scale grid-tied systems, including switchgear, circuit breakers, and protective relays.
  • Design & Simulation Tooling: Proficiency in schematic capture, multi-physics thermal/magnetic simulation, and circuit simulators (e.g., PLECS, SPICE, LTspice, Simulink).

Nice to have

  • MS or PhD degree with specialization in power electronics, plus industry experience (5+ years with MS and 3+ years with PhD) in developing high-power, high-voltage converters (kW to multi-MW scale).

Skills

  • Expertise in high-power, high-voltage laboratory environments.
  • About GridTran
  • GridTran is at the forefront of a massive energy transformation, shifting the world toward a sustainable, flexible, and DC-powered grid.
  • About Endeavour
  • Endeavour is rethinking the infrastructure model for the benefit of all.

Benefits

  • Innovate at Speed: Thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where your ideas actually matter.
  • Elevate Your Craft: Be part of a respectful, continuous-learning culture driven by excellence.
  • Make a Real Impact: Join a team of dedicated changemakers building solutions that benefit people and the planet.
  • Instead of relying on big, centralized systems that often leave communities locked into outdated networks, we are building an integrated technology stack using modular components that can be repeated and scaled.
