Electrical Engineer

Job Title:

Power Electronics Engineer

Job Description

This role focuses on the design, development, and implementation of complex multi-phase high-voltage power systems, with an emphasis on 480V applications up to 400 amps. You will engineer and optimize systems that include wiring design and installation, variable frequency drives, generator sets, load banks, industrial process controllers, and switch gear. The position begins with continued development of reformer and reactor skid systems and their sub-systems, and will expand into motorsports-related projects such as ECU development, starters, alternators, and sensors.

You will work across the full product lifecycle-from concept and design through prototyping, testing, and production-while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to integrate power electronics and controls into larger systems.

Responsibilities

+ Design and implement high-voltage, multi-phase power electronic systems, particularly 480V systems up to 400 amps.

+ Engineer microgrid power management solutions involving generators and motors, including transitions between shore power supplies.

+ Develop and optimize wiring design, electrical schematics, and installation plans for complex power systems.

+ Oversee and perform hands-on installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of wiring and electrical system hardware.

+ Specify, integrate, and optimize variable frequency drives, generator sets, load banks, industrial process controllers, and switching gear.

+ Lead the continued development of reformer and reactor skid systems and associated sub-systems, including power and control architectures.

+ Support motorsports-related projects, including race engine mechatronic devices such as starters, alternators, sensors, and related electronics.

+ Apply instrumentation, control, and calibration techniques, including CAN communication, harness design and manufacturing, and power electronics synchronization strategies.

+ Implement and maintain CAN communication protocols and other relevant communication standards for measurement and control.

+ Use data acquisition systems to collect, analyze, and interpret test data for system validation and performance optimization.

+ Develop and refine synchronization strategies for multi-phase power systems and power electronics.

+ Contribute to and, when appropriate, lead or manage electronics and mechatronics projects from early design through prototyping, testing, and production.

+ Consult on facility-related power electronics and electrical issues on an as-needed basis.

+ Prepare clear technical documentation, including specifications, wiring and harness diagrams, test plans, and technical reports.

+ Provide technical support, mentorship, and guidance to other team members and stakeholders.

+ Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate power electronics, controls, and mechatronic systems into larger mechanical and electrical systems.

+ Stay current with industry trends, tools, and technologies in power electronics, controls, and mechatronics, and incorporate relevant advancements into new and existing designs.

+ Communicate effectively in both written and verbal form with engineering, operations, and leadership teams.

+ Work independently with minimal oversight while maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and reliability.

+ Demonstrate leadership and active participation in team settings, contributing to a collaborative and innovative engineering culture.

Essential Skills

+ Minimum of 5+ years of professional experience in power electronics, electrical engineering, or a closely related field.

+ Proven experience designing and implementing high-voltage, multi-phase power electronic systems, including 480V systems up to approximately 400 amps.

+ Hands-on experience with wiring design, electrical system hardware installation, and troubleshooting in practical, real-world environments.

+

Experience with microgrid power management involving generators and motors, including transitioning between different power sources such as shore power.

+ Strong instrumentation, control, and calibration experience, including CAN communication, harness design and manufacturing, and power electronics synchronization.

+ Demonstrated experience with data acquisition systems and data analysis for testing and validation.

+ Ability to manage cradle-to-grave product development, from early design and prototyping through testing and into production.

+ 3D design experience using CAD tools; familiarity with Creo is preferred, though experience with other CAD packages is also valued.

+ Strong written and oral communication skills, including the ability to produce clear technical documentation.

+ Demonstrated ability to lead and participate effectively in cross-functional team environments.

+ Ability to quickly learn new technologies and tackle new engineering challenges with enthusiasm and minimal oversight.
