About the role
- In this role, you will work closely with a talented engineering team in a fast-paced environment to apply emerging technologies in innovative ways to rapidly produce new products.
- This position will report to the Senior Manager of Electrical Engineering.
Responsibilities
- Power Budgets: Develop system-level power budgets, and coordinate requirements with subsystem design teams.
- System Integration: Lead the design and integration of the power electronics subsystems of large-scale phased arrays from prototype development to full-scale production.
- Standards and Best Practices: Define the organizational standards for high voltage safety and best practices and lead the team through safety checks at key integration milestones.
- Prototyping and Design: Design and prototype critical power electronics subsystems, with an emphasis on prime power distribution and conversion.
- Supplier Coordination: Collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers on component design, testing, and evaluation to meet system requirements.
- Develop system-level power budgets, and coordinate requirements with subsystem design teams.
- Lead the design and integration of the power electronics subsystems of large-scale phased arrays from prototype development to full-scale production.
