Power Electronics Engineer

Job Description

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.

• Design, develop, integrate, and debug complex power electronics systems.
• Travel to support on‑site testing (up to 25% of time).

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in power systems.
• BSEE with 4+ years of relevant experience, or MSEE with 1+ years 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 500 W to 50 kW 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: digital multimeter, oscilloscope, function generator, and digital voltage/current measurement probes.
• Experience or familiarity with electronics assembly, wiring, crimping, and soldering (a plus).

• 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.

Why is This a Great Opportunity: 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.
