Principal Electrical Engineer / PCB / FPGA

A growing and innovative engineering company in the Greater Boston area is looking for a Principal Power Electronics Engineer to join a small, highly collaborative design team. This is a full-time opportunity focused on advanced electrical hardware, power electronics, embedded systems, and PCB-level design. You'll work on products from initial concept through production, giving you significant ownership and exposure across the entire engineering lifecycle. This is a great opportunity for a hands-on Electrical Engineer who wants more than a narrowly defined role.

You'll have the chance to own projects, design power supplies and PWM amplifiers, work with microprocessors and FPGAs, build and troubleshoot prototypes, and see your designs move from the lab into production. Because the team is small, your technical input will have a direct impact, and you'll gain broad experience across power electronics, controls, embedded programming, PCB design, simulation, and hardware development.

B.S. in Electrical Engineering required; advanced degree preferred
8-10+ years of direct, PCB-level electrical design experience
Strong power electronics and converter topology knowledge
Experience designing PWM amplifiers and power supplies
Experience across the PCB design flow, including specifications, schematic capture, DFM/DFT, and layout
Embedded programming experience with microprocessors and/or FPGAs
Experience with LTSpice or similar circuit simulation tools
