The Power Electronics Engineer will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and validating high-power electronics systems, specifically focusing on 10KW+ high-voltage DC systems. This position is part of the New Experimental Technology Electric Propulsion Subsystem organization, which is responsible for delivering power systems for drone delivery. The engineer will work independently to solve complex hardware engineering problems while ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards. The role requires strong technical expertise in power electronics and the ability to influence product architecture.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience with multi-layer power electronics PCB layout and design.
• 4+ years of experience working on high-voltage DC power systems rated at 10KW or above.
• Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field is preferred.
• Experience developing power electronics boards from concept through production, including rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
• Proficiency with power electronics design tools such as Altium, OrCAD, and MATLAB/Simulink.
• Familiarity with thermal simulation, power integrity analysis, and high-voltage creepage and clearance design rules.
• Experience with reliability testing, HALT/HASS, and failure analysis of power electronics systems.
• Working knowledge of DO-160 and DO-274 standards, IP rating requirements, and design-for-environment principles.
• Experience leading vendor and manufacturing partner engagements.

• Design, develop, and test multi-layer power electronics board layouts for high-voltage DC systems from concept through volume production.
• Define power electronics architecture, including topology selection, component specification, and thermal management strategy.
• Lead test plans validating designs against DO-160 and DO-274 for electromagnetic compatibility, environmental resilience, functional safety, and target IP ratings.
• Apply system-level thinking to how power electronics subsystems integrate with the broader product architecture.
• Partner with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and peers to build and validate designs and align on technical trade-offs.
• Deliver accurate estimates and manage design milestones through the product development lifecycle.
• Maintain design documentation including schematics, specifications, analysis reports, and test results.
• Contribute technical feedback in design reviews.
• Identify risks and defects early and propose solutions balancing performance, cost, and schedule.
• Improve team processes and develop firmware, software, or scripts that aid power electronics development and testing.
