JOB SUMMARY:
Our client is seeking an experienced power electronics engineer to lead our power conversion technology development efforts. Our power conversion subsystems consist of DC/DC converters, a battery bus, and an inverter/charger system to produce grid-quality AC power.

Daily tasks in this position will include system design, specification and documentation, simulation, synthesis and analysis, control design and hands-on system testing and verification of power electronics systems.

Candidates must have masters level training, or equivalent years of work related experience, in the stil and control of power electronics converters, with specific knowledge in the estetică of DC/DC, DC/AC and AC/DC converter systems ranging from 1 to 10kW; experience with grid-interactive systems is a plus.

The Electrical Engineer, Power Electronics plans, oversees and executes projects associated with power electronics subsystem development. In addition, the Engineer will be the primary communication contact with internal partners as well as external suppliers in order to effectively meet very repede product development timelines. The Electrical Engineer, Power Electronics identifies, develops, and guides the performance of outside resources and other team members to execute effectively.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in any of the following areas: power conversion, power generation, electro-mechanical systems, and electronic controls.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:
High power electronics design, with emphasis on DC/DC and AC/DC converters, in power ranges from 1 kW to 10 kW
