Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineer
We are looking for a highly motivated Power Electronics Engineer to join our Sensing and Communications Department in Concord, MA or Groton, CT. Successful candidates will have a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus in power systems design. You will support the design and development of a wide variety of underwater maritime systems including electromechanical actuation systems, payloads for unmanned underwater vehicles, acoustic communication transceivers, motor systems, and high‑power acoustic transmit arrays.
Candidates must have a proven track record of designing, implementing, and testing high voltage/high power electrical components of prototype R&D systems. Experience designing energy storage system components, DC/DC converters, power amplifiers and magnetics, and interfacing with embedded processors is required. Previous experience laying out boards and/or managing layout vendors is highly desired, as is experience designing for EMC and integrating high power components into larger systems.
Our client works on exciting, technically challenging, cutting‑edge technologies spanning a wide variety of multidisciplinary fields, offering unique growth opportunities and learning experiences. You will work in a small company environment where technical excellence is rewarded and an entrepreneurial spirit is encouraged—collaborating directly with colleagues and customers who value innovation and creativity.
- Design, development, integration, and debugging of complex power electronics systems.
- Travel to support on‑site testing (up to 25%).
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in power systems.
- BSEE with 4+ years of relevant experience, or MSEE with 1+ year of relevant experience.
- Experience with power system design: circuit analysis and simulation, component selection, schematic capture, PCB design, and verification testing.
- Design of DC/DC and AC/DC power systems ranging from 500W to 50kW for harsh operating environments.
- Experience with high availability power supplies and/or failover systems.
- Comprehensive knowledge of electronic power devices including MOSFETs, Schottky diodes, SiC FETs, and IGBTs.
- Proven experience designing with electromechanical actuators, DC/DC converters, power amplifiers, and magnetics.
- Experience troubleshooting electronic systems.
- Basic understanding of MATLAB-aided data analysis.
- Proficiency with electronic laboratory test equipment: DMM, oscilloscope, function generator, digital voltage and current measurement probes.
- Experience or familiarity with electronics assembly, wiring, crimping, and soldering is a plus.
- Experience with C/C++ or Python coding for microcontrollers or similar embedded platforms.
- Prior experience designing electronics for underwater maritime systems.
- Prior experience designing electric machines and/or drives.
- Experience working with acoustic transducers.
- Familiarity with power converter topologies (buck, boost, flyback, SEPIC, etc.) and their control methodologies.
- Experience with or oversight of electronic layout, bill‑of‑materials, and assembly processes.
- Experience creating technical content for new products, proposals, or business development pursuits.
- Experience working in an R&D environment and in small multidisciplinary teams.
- Experience mentoring junior EE staff on electronics design, PCB implementation, and board troubleshooting.
- Experience briefing customers.
- Experience with C/C++ or Python coding for microcontrollers or similar embedded platforms.
- This role can work out of Groton, CT or Concord, MA. Full relocation provided.
