Job Description
Design power electronics for home batteries—inverters, battery management systems, and microgrid interconnect devices. Own boards end to end from specs and schematic capture through PCB layout, bench bring-up, and high-voltage/high-current validation, then drive designs through DFM into high-volume manufacturing alongside cross-functional teams.
Hard Requirements
- Degree in EE, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 1+ years hands-on hardware design experience
- Analog and digital circuit design including high-voltage or power supply design
- PCB design in Altium and hands-on bring-up (probing, soldering, wiring, debugging)
- Comfort with oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, electronic loads
- Python or similar scripting for test and data analysis
Soft Requirements
- Power semiconductors (Si/SiC MOSFETs, IGBTs), gate drivers, magnetics
- Embedded firmware and microcontroller peripherals
- CAN, LIN, or Ethernet networking
- Basic control theory: sensor bandwidth, filtering, loop stability
- Electric motors, thermal design, or mechanical integration
- Leadership on Formula SAE, solar car, or similar team
