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.
- 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.
- 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…
