AI-Native Electrical Engineer

About the Role

Join an energy technology team developing high-voltage power systems. You will turn early-stage prototypes into testable alpha hardware for initial design partners, combining hands-on engineering with AI-enabled development workflows.

What You'll Do

• Develop lab-scale prototypes into structured, validated, customer-ready hardware systems.

• Design high-voltage DC power conversion, switching, and distribution architectures, including systems using SiC devices.

• Model and simulate electrical, thermal, and system-level performance with tools such as SPICE and PLECS.

• Lead lab bring-up, debugging, and characterization of high-power hardware, including switching, timing, sensing, and protection.

• Use AI tools, including agents and language models, to accelerate design, testing, and iteration.

• Coordinate PCB fabrication, component sourcing, and packaging with external partners.

• Make practical tradeoffs across performance, thermal management, reliability, and manufacturability.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of experience designing, prototyping, and testing power electronics systems.

• Experience owning hardware from prototype through simulation, bring-up, iteration, and system validation.

• Hands-on experience with gate-driver design for fast-switching architectures.

• Proficiency with electrical simulation tools such as SPICE or PLECS, and familiarity with circuit design and high-voltage DC systems.

• A degree in Electrical Engineering or demonstrated aptitude in power electronics.

• Strong intuition for electrical systems and the ability to reason across electrical, thermal, and mechanical tradeoffs.

• Experience integrating AI tools, such as agents or models, into engineering workflows.

• Background in EVs, EV charging, solar, battery storage, or high-voltage switching systems is useful, including SiC or GaN applications.
