Position: Electrical Engineer (Hardware)
Electrical Engineer II/III (Based on experience)

Job Description

This role leads the hardware design and implementation of embedded power electronics for battery-powered products, with a strong focus on power conversion and motor control development. You will work across the full product development lifecycle in a collaborative team environment, partnering closely with quality, manufacturing, hardware, firmware, product development, and test engineering to deliver robust, high-performance solutions.

Responsibilities

+ Lead the hardware design and implementation of embedded power electronics for battery-powered products, ensuring robust and reliable performance.

+ Own the design of power electronics hardware, including system architecture, schematic capture, component selection, and evaluation of design tradeoffs.

+ Design and debug MOSFET switching power stages and supporting circuits such as gate drive, protection, current and voltage sensing, and power sequencing for low-voltage, high-current applications.

+ Support motor control hardware implementations, including inverter and bridge power stages, as well as associated sensing and protection circuits.

+ Collaborate closely with firmware engineers to define, implement, and optimize hardware/firmware interfaces for embedded systems.

+ Directly support prototype development, including building, testing, and troubleshooting embedded electronic assemblies.

+ Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for hardware issues using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, ESD/EMC tools, data acquisition systems, and analysis software.

+ Lead design activities from concept through release, including component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout guidance, prototype builds, and test plan development and execution.

+ Track projects to ensure adherence to schedule and alignment with the organization's stage-gate product development process.

+ Communicate clearly and consistently with a diverse range of technical and non-technical stakeholders, motivating teams up, down, and across the organization to maintain urgency and accountability for key project metrics.

Essential Skills

+ Strong hardware design experience with embedded power electronics for battery-powered products.

+ Solid foundation in electrical engineering and electrical hardware design.

+ Deep knowledge of low-voltage battery systems and their application in embedded products.

+ Hands-on experience designing microcontroller-based circuits and embedded hardware platforms.

+ Proficiency in designing and debugging MOSFET-based switching power stages and related circuits, including gate drive, protection, current and voltage sensing, and power sequencing.

+ Experience supporting motor control hardware implementations such as inverter and bridge power stages with appropriate sensing and protection.

+ Ability to use and interpret results from lab equipment including oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, ESD/EMC tools, and data acquisition systems.

+ Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills for embedded electronic systems.

+ Ability to lead hardware design activities such as component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout collaboration, and prototype validation.

+ Effective communication skills to engage and influence cross-functional teams and drive accountability toward project goals.

+ Exposure to firmware and understanding of hardware/firmware integration in embedded systems.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications
