Sr. Power Electronics Engineer

Location: Cambridge, MA
Description: As a Senior Power Electronics Engineer, you will design, specify, develop, and test power system architectures and requirements for various applications. These include miniature power conversion and management circuitry, distributed power architectures, radiation-hardened designs, novel battery management circuitry, small motor controllers, switched-mode power conversion, and precision feedback systems. You'll engage in engineering work during the initial planning and design phase of specifications and system requirements.

This job will have the following responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and build power system architectures.
• Conduct research, design, development, and testing of hardware such as miniature power conversion and management circuitry, distributed power architectures, and radiation-hardened designs.
• Optimize system designs for reduced size, weight, and power.
• Design new products and develop technical specifications for their production.
• Analyze hardware configurations and processing solutions; test hardware conformance to specifications.
• Develop and maintain effective internal/external relationships.
• Independently drive solutions to complex problems, develop requirements, propose ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapt to changes in requirements.
• Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) able to perform advanced architectures and designs for complex power electronics.
• Participate in business development and proposal activities.
• Identify program/system-level technical risks and develop and execute mitigation strategies.
• Manage multi-disciplinary tasks with multiple engineers and effectively communicate status to project leadership and customers.
• Develop, document, and teach best practices to less experienced engineers.
• Demonstrate strong organization, planning, and time management skills to achieve program goals.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Knowledge in at least one of the following areas: isolated and non-isolated DC/DC power conversion, rectification, inversion, battery management systems, motor controller design, system-level power distribution design, system/board-level grounding/shielding, and EMC design techniques.
• Proficiency in designing and troubleshooting power electronics.
• Proficient with schematic capture and printed circuit board layout.
• Ability to perform circuit simulation using Spice or other simulation tools.
• Experience in system modeling and analysis using MATLAB, Simulink, or other comparable tools.
• Understanding of applied math and physics.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to write detailed documentation.
