Power Electronics Engineer
We are looking for a highly motivated power electronics engineer to join our Sensing and Communications Department. Successful candidates will have a BS, MS, or PhD degree in electrical engineering with professional experience in design, development, and test of power electronic systems. Professional experience beyond 5 years is desired, but may not be required in all circumstances. Successful applicants 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, wireless power transfer, and high power acoustic transmit arrays.
Candidates must have a proven track record of designing and implementing custom PCBs for prototype R&D systems. Experience designing energy storage system components, DC/DC converters, power amplifiers and magnetics, and interfacing to the embedded processors that control such devices is required. Previous experience laying out boards and/or managing vendors which provide layout services is highly desired, as is experience designing for EMC and testing and integrating PCBs into larger systems.
Responsibilities:
Design, development, integration, and debugging of complex power systems.
Required Attributes and
Skills:
Experience with power system design consisting of 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 10 kW for use in harsh operating environments.
Experience with implementation of high availability power supplies and/or failover systems.
Comprehensive knowledge of electronic power devices such as MOSFETs, Schottky Diodes, SiC FETs, and IGBTs.
Proven experience designing with electromechanical actuators, DC/DC converters, power amplifiers, and magnetics.
Experience troubleshooting electronic systems.
BS in electrical engineering with a power systems focus.
Able to obtain and maintain a Secret Security Clearance.
Desired Attributes and
Skills:
Prior experience designing electronics for underwater maritime systems.
Experience working with acoustic transducers.
Experience with various power converter topologies such as Buck, Boost, Flyback, SEPIC, etc.
