Power Electronics Engineer DATA CENTERS

Location San Jose, CA

Type Direct Hire

Step into a high-impact R&D role with a global leader in power electronics, energy infrastructure, and advanced conversion technologies.

This organization is driving next-generation platforms including data center power architectures, containerized charging systems, and energy storage solutions.

• Work on cutting-edge MW-class power systems … not sustaining legacy products
• Be part of a ground-up R&D team build with high visibility and impact
• Collaborate globally across U.S., Europe, and Asia
• Direct exposure to real-world, high-power engineering challenges

You’ll be part of a newly forming R&D team, focused on building next-generation power conversion platforms that will shape the future of high-density, high-efficiency energy systems.

Individual Contributor role focused on advanced development, prototyping, and platform R&D … not production support.

Core focus: AC/DC, DC/DC, and HVDC/DC converters supporting data center and high-power infrastructure applications.

• Design and evaluate high-power conversion systems (kW → MW)
• Execute topology trade-offs, efficiency optimization, and thermal/EMI analysis
• Perform hands-on lab bring-up, testing, and debugging
• Develop prototype and reference designs (no production ownership)

• Lead deep technical troubleshooting beyond FAE-level issues
• Drive root-cause analysis, validation, and resolution strategies, advanced R&D tasks: calculations/simulations, deriving formulas, drawing waveforms.
• Engage directly with U.S.
  
  -based customers
• Translate requirements into engineering direction and design improvements
• Support evaluations with data-driven technical recommendations, tools like: MATLAB/Simulink, PSpice, Cadence Virtuoso and Allegro
• Partner with international R&D teams across Europe and Asia
• Share findings and contribute to global platform development

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Power Electronics / Power Conversion preferred)
• Hands-on experience with AC/DC, DC/DC, or inverter-based power systems
• Strong foundation in lab validation, testing, debugging, and system-level optimization

• Bilingual (nice-to-have)
