Power Electronics Engineer Cleveland, OH

Power Electronics Engineer job at Survival Systems Staffing. Cleveland, OH.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Power Supply Design Engineer to join our hardware engineering team. In this role, you will design, develop, and validate high-performance power supply systems ranging from 500W to 10kW
. This includes AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC converters for a variety of applications in industrial, commercial, or renewable energy systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop switch‑mode power supplies (SMPS) including AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC converters from concept through production.
• Define power architecture, select components, and create schematics for systems ranging from 500W to 10kW
  .
• Perform simulations, worst‑case analysis, and thermal assessments.
• Lead PCB layout design with a focus on power integrity, EMI/EMC compliance, and thermal efficiency.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing engineers.
• Conduct lab testing and validation: bring‑up, debugging, and performance characterization.
• Ensure designs meet safety (UL, CE) and EMI/EMC regulatory standards.
• Support DVT, EVT, and production ramp‑up activities.
• Generate and maintain detailed design documentation.

Requirements

Must‑Have:

• 3–10 years of hands‑on experience in power supply design (AC/DC, DC/DC, or DC/AC).
• Proven experience designing systems in the 500W to 10kW range.
• Strong background in topologies such as buck, boost, flyback, PFC, full‑bridge, LLC, etc.
• Proficiency in PCB design and layout for high‑power circuits using tools like Altium, OrCAD, or similar.
• Experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, thermal cameras, etc.).
• Understanding of thermal management, EMI/EMC design
  , and compliance testing.
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and documentation skills.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with digital control of power supplies (e.g., using microcontrollers or DSPs).
• Experience with safety certifications (UL, CE, IEC).
• Exposure to high‑frequency magnetics and transformer design.
• Experience with high‑voltage systems (>400 VDC or >240 VAC).
