Sr Staff Power Electronics Engineer
to develop electronics systems for multiple micro-mobility platforms. What You Will Do
Directly Responsible Individual role for execution of power conversion PCBA development spanning design, development, validation and production ramp. Focus on highly integrated and cost effective design of systems spanning 48 - 100V and 1 - 10kW peak power range. Plan schedule, development steps, test resources and contract manufacturer EOL activities. Work with systems engineering to author and ratify product requirements including cost, performance, reliability, regulatory, etc. Perform simulation, analysis and validation of critical circuits. Perform the worst case circuit analysis and determine corresponding validation. Specify and select critical components and perform characterization, schematic capture and layout of power electronics, controls and auxiliary circuits. Collaborate with firmware and controls teams on HW integration and control strategies. Work with functional safety peers to identify critical diagnostics/protection circuits and deliver appropriate design implementations. Compile DFMEA, PFMEA and validation plans. Perform hands on integration and test activities combined with directing and collaborating with test peers and outside resources such as certification labs and contract manufacturers. Support thermal, EMC, reliability and NVH testing. Collaborate with mechanical, controls and firmware peers to execute a complete system solution. Provide status updates in program meetings and to leadership. What You Will Bring
Electrical Engineering degree with focus on power electronics/power systems, MS minimum. 8+ years working in power electronics design, preferably traction inverter. Experience with actuators (BLDC) and position sensors. Proficiency with power switches (MOSFET, GaN, SiC). Strong understanding of analog and digital circuits including microcontrollers and peripherals, commonly used for power electronics applications. Proficiency with common simulation tools, LTspice, PLECS, Matlab. Hands on experience with low/high power lab equipment with voltage range up to 1kV. Experience delivering products to the market. The salary for this position ranges from $220,000 - $255,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications. Why ALSO
We’re passionate about helping the world find a better way to get there—wherever it is you’re headed. We’re located in the heart of Silicon Valley and have brought together a world-class team from some of the biggest brands in technology, automotive, cycling, outdoor recreation and retail spaces. Together we’re working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges. Perks And Benefits
Robust health coverage. Excellent health, dental and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO with FSA & HSA options. One Medical membership and dedicated insurance advocates. Rich fertility and family building benefits with Progyny. Flexible time off. 401(k) match. Job Details
