The Opportunity

We are seeking a Power Electronics Engineer to join our hardware development team and contribute to the design of next-generation power-conversion products.

In this hands-on role, you will work on technologies such as DC-DC converters, AC-DC power supplies, DC-AC inverters, and motor controllers. You will contribute throughout the product development cycle, from circuit design and prototyping to testing, validation, and production support.

This is an opportunity to apply strong technical fundamentals and practical design skills to develop new products and improve existing solutions for demanding operating environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop power electronics circuits and systems, including converters, power supplies, inverters, and motor controllers.
• Develop electrical schematics, select components, contribute to PCB layout, and participate in design reviews.
• Design and optimize magnetic components, including inductors and transformers.
• Build and test prototypes, perform electrical measurements, and troubleshoot hardware.
• Conduct design verification and validation, including efficiency, thermal performance, electrical stress, and reliability testing.
• Support electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and product certification.
• Improve existing products in efficiency, power density, thermal performance, cost, reliability, and component availability.
• Prepare design specifications, technical documentation, and test reports.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to transition designs from concept to production.
• Provide technical support for manufacturing, customer applications, and component sourcing as required.
• Stay current with developments in power semiconductors, magnetic materials, control techniques, and power-conversion technologies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Approximately five years of relevant experience in power electronics design and development.
• Demonstrated experience designing power-conversion circuits, such as DC-DC converters, AC-DC power supplies, or DC-AC inverters.
• Strong understanding of switching topologies, power semiconductor devices, magnetics, feedback and control circuits, and circuit protection.
• Experience with electrical schematics, component selection, and PCB design considerations for power electronics
• Working knowledge of Altium Designer for schematic capture is preferred.
• Hands-on experience with laboratory instruments and hardware troubleshooting, including oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and power analyzers.
• Understanding of thermal management, efficiency optimization, and EMC design principles.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.

The following would be considered assets:

• Experience with high-power or high-voltage power electronics, particularly designs above 1 kW.
• Experience with rugged electronics designed for industrial, mobile-equipment, or other electrically noisy environments.
• Familiarity with simulation tools for power electronics and circuit analysis.
• Experience supporting products through design validation, manufacturing release, and production.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work on practical, technically challenging power electronics products.
• Involvement in the full product development cycle, from initial design through testing and manufacturing.
• A collaborative engineering environment with opportunities to contribute ideas and influence product development.
• Competitive compensation and benefits, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
• h experience and qualifications.
