Methode Electronics

We are a leading global provider of innovative automotive and industrial electronic products, including center stacks, switch banks, sensors, high-voltage busbars, Battery Disconnect Units (BDU), Integrated Circuit Boards (ICB), park brake actuators, ambient lights, and Center High-Mount Stop Lights (CHMSL). Our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability positions us at the forefront of the industry, delivering high-performance power distribution solutions to customers worldwide.

We are looking for a skilled High Voltage Systems Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will be at the forefront of designing, developing, and testing advanced, safe, and efficient high-voltage architectures— with a specific focus on next-generation 800V powertrain components, DC-DC converters, and advanced planar magnetics. If you have a passion for solving complex power electronics challenges, ensuring top-tier safety standards, and transforming cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) concepts into reality, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities
  • 800V Converter Design:
    Architect, design, and optimize high-efficiency 800V DC-DC converters, onboard chargers, and traction inverters utilizing wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC/GaN).
  • Planar Magnetics Integration:
    Design and optimize high-frequency planar transformers and inductors to maximize power density and minimize parasitic parameters (leakage inductance and interwinding capacitance).
  • Integrate Power Boards:
    Connect, configure, and optimize multiple high-power distribution boards, multi-layer PCBs, and control circuits within the overall vehicle powertrain or grid system.
  • Manage Thermal Solutions:
    Perform thermal analysis and design active cooling solutions—including liquid-glycol loops, phase-change materials, and advanced thermal interface materials—to manage high heat fluxes in compact planar magnetics and power modules.
  • System Simulation & Analysis:
    Conduct detailed systems analysis, including circuit-level simulations, stress modeling, and electromagnetic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for magnetic flux optimization.
  • Hardware Validation:
    Lead the physical testing of high-voltage batteries, inverters, converters, and cabling harnesses using specialized laboratory equipment under high-power conditions.
  • Lead Teams:
    Guide, mentor, and align cross-functional technical teams (software, mechanical, layout) to execute complex engineering projects from concept to production.
  • Ensure Functional Safety:
    Follow strict automotive and industrial safety standards, implementing isolation monitoring, interlocks, and creepage/clearance requirements to mitigate hazard risks.
  • Solve Hardware Issues:
    Root-cause complex power flow instabilities, EMI/EMC issues (such as dV/dt noise coupling), AC copper losses (skin and proximity effects), or physical component breakdowns discovered during the validation phase.
Requirements
  • Education:

    Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Power Electronics, or a closely related technical field.
  • Experience:

    5 + years of hands‑on experience developing high‑voltage systems, specifically dealing with architectures exceeding 60V (ideally 400V to 800V+ systems).
  • Power…
