Principal Hardware Engineer - Industrial Power/BESS/UPS Systems - Portland, OR

I’m partnering with a growing energy storage company looking to add a Principal Hardware Engineer (Hardware Engineer V) to their engineering team.

This is a highly hands-on role for an experienced electrical/power electronic engineer who has taken complex hardware from early architecture through design, debugging, validation, and ultimately production. You’ll work on high-power electrical systems and power electronics used in industrial applications, with ownership across both the circuit-board and system level.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own portions of the electrical architecture from requirements through released hardware
  • Design and develop analog, digital, embedded, and power-electronics circuitry
  • Perform schematic capture, circuit analysis/simulation, component selection, and design documentation
  • Develop and debug hardware involving microcontrollers and embedded interfaces
  • Lead or contribute heavily to design reviews, verification, and validation activities
  • Help establish production test and acceptance strategies as new products move into manufacturing

What We’re Looking For

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering (Advanced degree preferred), or a closely related discipline
  • Roughly 10+ years of hardware development experience
  • Strong background in power electronics and board-level circuit design
  • Experience designing/debugging microcontroller-based hardware
  • Comfortable working with high voltage systems, (600 VDC range)
  • Experience with communication buses/interfaces such as CAN and I²C
  • Exposure to EMC and product-safety requirements

Nice to Have

  • Experience with industrial power systems, energy storage, UPS hardware, or adjacent high-power equipment
  • Prior experience serving as a technical lead or mentoring other engineers
  • Experience working in an environment where engineering, testing, and manufacturing sit closely together
