• Act as the primary technical liaison between the engineering team and senior management, effectively communicating project progress, risks, and key technical decisions.
• Establish and enforce design standards, methodologies, and best practices within the team.
• Support cross-functional collaboration by working closely with mechanical, firmware, and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of power management solutions.
• Assist in workload distribution, prioritization of tasks, and problem resolution to ensure project timelines and objectives are met.
• Provide technical oversight on key projects, ensuring designs align with performance, reliability, and compliance requirements.
• Provide a technical voice from MPC to customers, suppliers, vendors, etc.

• Design and develop power management solutions for electronic systems, including DC/DC converters, AC/DC systems, battery charging circuits, and energy storage systems.
• Conduct power budget analysis, efficiency optimization, and thermal management for complex hardware systems.
• Define and implement power management architectures, ensuring robust power integrity, stability, and reliability.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., IEC, UL, FCC, ISO, MIL-STD).

• Develop and execute power management testing plans, including verification, validation, and compliance testing.
• Conduct root cause analysis and troubleshooting for power-related issues, working with engineering and manufacturing teams to implement design improvements.
• Maintain thorough documentation of power management designs, test results, and engineering decisions.
  

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.
• 5 years of experience in power management engineering, power electronics, or electrical systems design.
• Strong expertise in power electronics, analog/digital circuit design, and power distribution networks.
• Experience leading technical teams, mentoring engineers, and guiding technical decision-making.
• Proficiency in power management simulation and design tools (e.g., SPICE, PLECS, SIMetrix, etc.).
• Proficiency in PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD), with experience in power delivery network (PDN) analysis
• Familiarity with PCB layout best practices for power electronics, including EMI/EMC mitigation and thermal considerations.
• Knowledge of regulations and standards related to power management (e.g., UL1008, UL/ISO60950, IEC 62368, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with power measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, electronic loads) and validation processes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive approach to troubleshooting complex power-related issues.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
  

• Experience in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, industrial power systems, or consumer electronics industries.
• Expertise in wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC/GaN) for high-efficiency power conversion.
• Expertise in BMS design, battery pack architectures, and inverter topologies.
• Familiarity with functional safety requirements for UL certifications.
• Knowledge of mechanical design process and familiarity with MCAD tools (e.g. Solidworks, Creo, etc.).
• Basic firmware knowledge (Arduino, etc.) for rapid prototyping and/or debugging of electronic hardware systems.
