Milpitas, CA

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in Power Electronics to lead the design and optimization of advanced power systems for robotic solutions. This role focuses on creating efficient, high-performance systems and solving complex challenges in power distribution and energy management.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop power electronics, including DC-DC converters, inverters, and motor controllers.
  • Develop battery management systems (BMS) and charging solutions.
  • Optimize power distribution systems for efficiency and safety.
  • Conduct thermal and electrical simulations to validate designs.
  • Integrate power electronics into robotic platforms in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
  • Troubleshoot and debug power electronics issues at all levels.
  • Lead testing procedures for power systems, including accelerated life and stress testing.
  • Author design documentation, schematics, and technical specifications.

Qualifications:

  • Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in power electronics design, preferably in robotics or related industries.
  • Proficiency in motor controllers, inverters, and DC-DC converters.
  • Experience with battery systems, including BMS design and lithium-ion technologies.
  • Hands-on experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer).
  • Strong troubleshooting skills with diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, analyzers, etc.).
  • Must be on-site with no remote work option.

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with high-power systems (>2 kW) and wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC, GaN).
  • Knowledge of communication protocols such as CAN, EtherCAT, or Modbus.
  • Familiarity with regulatory standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262, UL 60950).
  • Firmware development for power electronics systems.
  • Experience with thermal and structural analysis using FEA tools.
