Job Description
In this role, you will lead the control architecture and system behavior of advanced AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion platforms across low- and medium-voltage applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Own control architecture for advanced power conversion systems across AC-DC and DC-DC platforms.
- Own system-level dynamic performance (stability, bandwidth, transient response, robustness, efficiency) from concept through production.
- Drive control strategy across interacting power stages and ensure stable operation under all operating conditions.
- Define digital control execution requirements and ensure real-time implementation meets system performance targets.
- Lead system-level stability analysis and performance closure under aggressive development timelines.
- Establish validation methodology and acceptance criteria, including frequency response, transient testing, and fault handling robustness.
- Lead complex root-cause investigations across hardware, firmware, sensing, and protection domains.
- Drive control-related risk assessment (DFMEA) and mitigation planning across development programs.
- Ensure control solutions scale across product variants and future platforms.
- Influence system-level trade-offs across topology, sensing, control strategy, performance, cost, and power density.
- Elevate control engineering standards through rigorous design reviews, modeling discipline, and mentorship.
Requirements
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent industry experience with strong specialization in power electronics and control systems.
- 5+ years of experience designing and deploying digital control for power converters in commercial or industrial applications.
- Demonstrated ownership of control architecture or system-level dynamic performance in complex power conversion systems (e.g., multi-stage, high-power, grid-connected, or modular platforms).
- Strong expertise in advanced converter control, including resonant, multilevel, or other high-performance topologies across isolated and non-isolated systems.
- Experience with solid-state transformer (SST) architectures or tightly integrated multi-stage AC-DC/DC-DC systems is strongly preferred.
- Deep command of control theory, including multi-loop stability analysis, loop interaction mitigation, nonlinear system behavior, and dynamic modeling.
- Proven experience implementing and guiding high-performance real-time digital control on embedded platforms (DSP/MCU/SoC).
- Strong proficiency in embedded C and ability to review and influence real-time control implementation decisions.
- Extensive hands-on laboratory experience debugging high-power systems and leading system-level validation and performance closure.
- Demonstrated ability to independently resolve complex, cross-domain technical challenges and drive cross-functional trade-off decisions.
- Exposure to medium-voltage power electronics systems.
- Experience with multilevel or modular converter architectures.
- Experience with bidirectional power flow control.
- Experience supporting products from R&D through production release.
- Experience contributing to patents or novel control techniques.
- Please note : This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
- Salary: $175,000-$210,000/annual DOE and location
Benefits & Perks
- Compensation will be determined based on experience, location, and other factors permitted by law.
- The benefits outlined below apply exclusively to employees located in the United States.
- Competitive Salary + Incentive Stock Options
- Medical, vision, and dental benefits for employees and their dependents, effective from the start of hire
- Company paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insurance
- 401k retirement savings plan through Empower
- Employees receive paid time off (PTO), paid sick days, and paid company holidays
- Commuter Benefits
- 100% paid maternal leave (12 weeks) and paternal leave (6 weeks)
