Senior Principal Power Design Engineer

What You Will Do

• Design, analyze (including thermal considerations), simulate, and test power conversion circuitry (including non-isolated topologies such as buck, boost, buck‑boost) and modules/discrete designs.
• Guide ECAD personnel through PCB layout of power circuitry and create technical drawings.
• Perform design work within the bounds of a given schedule.
• Present technical reviews to program leadership and technical staff.

• B.Sc. in a STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).
• Minimum of 10 years of professional experience in design, analysis, simulation, or testing of linear power converters.
• Experience with non-isolated converter topologies: buck, boost, buck‑boost.
• Experience with analog circuit design and analysis (FET, BJT, Op‑amp).
• Strong understanding of linear controls and motor drive techniques.
• Ability to design to meet concerns of adjacent disciplines (thermal, structural, mechanical, reliability, and quality).
• Self‑starter capable of functioning in a dynamic environment.
• Strong interpersonal, leadership, communication, and time‑management skills.

• Lab experience with power electronics and/or controls electronics.
• Use of simulation tools for electrical circuits and PCB layout (e.g., SIMPLIS, Saber, Mathcad, Mentor Graphics DxDesigner, Hyper Lynx).
• Design or test experience with isolated converter topologies (flyback, half‑bridge, full‑bridge, push‑pull) including stability.
• Experience in circuit card assembly‑level and system‑level power architecture trades, including power converter specification development.
• Familiarity with transformer and inductor design considerations.
• Design experience with EMI, voltages >400V, and/or power >10kW.
• Experience with military specifications, digital power control, and program management tools such as Earned Value.
• Experience with proposal development and liaison between program and functional management.
