Senior Electrical Engineer - Power Electronics

We are seeking a Senior Electrical and Power Electronics Engineer to join the Advanced Concepts and Technology team in a critical technical role. This position requires deep expertise in power converter design, development, testing, and application engineering, with ownership across the full lifecycle — from analysis, simulation, build/manufacturing, and validation to support for controls, software development, and real-time modeling.

• Review customer requirements for industrial, marine, renewable, and naval power converters and identify gaps between customer needs and current product capabilities.
• Develop detailed electrical and electronics specifications and lead architecture/trade-off decisions affecting components, layout, and materials.
• Lead the design and development ofhigh-power converters, including selection ofSiC, GaN, IGBT, and SCRdevices, magnetics, gate drives, capacitors, and analog circuits.
• Own projects from concept through validated solution, including drawings, BOMs, specifications, test procedures, and commissioning documentation.
• Perform power electronics and system modeling/simulation using tools like MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSIM, and LTspiceto validate topologies and control strategies before prototyping.
• Analyze grid and microgrid interaction, including grid-tied/islanded stability, harmonics, power quality, and EMI/EMC filter design.
• Build, test, and troubleshoot prototypes and system mockups, execute validation plans, and characterize electrical/functional performance.
• Serve as the technical lead / SMEfor converter projects, lead design reviews, guide PCB, controls, and junior engineers, and partner with project managers to maintain schedule and customer alignment.
• Ensure compliance withUL, IEC, IEEE, NEC, and MIL standards, and supportDFMEA, reliability analysis, and product certification efforts.
• Collaborate across firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, sourcing, application engineering, suppliers, and global GE Vernova teamsto ensure manufacturability, quality, cost, and customer satisfaction.

• Ph.D. in power electronics systems engineering from an accredited university OR MSc ENGINEERING from an accredited university with an emphasis in Power Electronics and 6+ Years’ experience in power electronics/power conversion.
• 2+ years experience and deep understanding of semiconductor technologies, including IGBT, SiC, GaN, thyristor, and transistor-based devices, and their implementation in high-density and large power converter applications. Candidate can have prior professional career experience or exposure to the technology during advanced degree pursuit. This should include a strong understanding of switching waveforms, loss modeling, and PWM control and overall power electronics design.
• 2+ years experience in parallel and series implementation of power semiconductors for purposes of higher power and voltage converter design.
• 3+ years experience in PCB schematic capture and layout, with a focus on minimizing stray inductance and capacitance and optimizing EMI/EMC performance Should also include strong understanding of magnetics designs including common-mode chokes, dv/dt inductors, and output filters.

• Demonstrated expertise in power electronics technologies, including AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC converter design, as well as the control of voltage-source and current-source power converters by showing ability of past existing written published works by the candidate.
• Must have prior experiences and knowledge of power electronics and power systems modeling and simulations using Matlab/Simulink, PLECS, and other modeling and simulation tools and software platform. Candidate should be…
