Senior Power Electronics Engineer Location: On-site Employment Type: Full-time A rapidly growing engineering and manufacturing organization is seeking a Senior Power Electronics Engineer to lead the electrical design and development of high-current solid-state switching platforms used in mission-critical environments. This individual will own detailed schematic design for SCR/thyristor-based switching architectures and contribute to system protection, fault-response, and thermal-management strategies. The position requires close collaboration with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, testing, and compliance teams to bring reliable, safety-certified power systems to market. Contribute to system-level architecture and electrical subsystem definition for high-current solid-state switching equipment. Own detailed power and control schematic design for SCR/thyristor-based switching platforms. Isolated gate-drive and firing circuits Snubber networks and dv/dt protection Fault commutation and semiconductor protection mechanisms Perform thermal analysis and Safe Operating Area evaluations for high-power semiconductor modules. Review PCB layouts for high-current routing, creepage and clearance compliance, isolation integrity, and EMC performance. Support high-current validation and laboratory testing activities involving systems rated up to 1600A. Participate in cross-functional design reviews and provide technical guidance to firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and testing teams. Support compliance-driven product development and UL certification efforts for low-voltage power-electronics equipment. Promote safe practices within high-power development and testing environments. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline. At least seven years of hands-on industrial power-electronics design experience. Demonstrated experience designing schematics for high-current electrical systems. Experience developing industrial power-electronics equipment such as inverters, converters, static switches, or similar platforms. Familiarity with applicable UL requirements and NEC guidelines for low-voltage power equipment. Experience reviewing PCB layouts for high-power applications. Working knowledge of EMC/EMI mitigation techniques within power-electronics systems. Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline. Experience supporting products through UL certification or compliance testing. Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, LTspice, or comparable simulation tools. Experience working with FPGA- or DSP-based control platforms for power-switching applications.
