AI-Native Electrical Engineer

About the Role

Join an energy technology team building high-voltage power systems, and help turn early-stage prototypes into deployable alpha hardware for design partners. This hands-on role spans electrical design, simulation, lab validation, and end-to-end hardware execution.

What You'll Do

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

• Design 800V-class DC power conversion, switching, and distribution architectures using modern devices such as SiC.

• Model electrical, thermal, and system-level behavior with tools such as SPICE and PLECS, then iterate on designs.

• Lead lab bring-up, debugging, and characterization with high-power equipment, addressing switching, timing, sensing, and protection challenges.

• Use AI-enabled tools, including agents and language models, to accelerate design, simulation, 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 validation, including design, simulation, bring-up, and iteration.

• Hands-on gate-driver design experience for fast-switching architectures and familiarity with high-voltage systems, such as 800V DC.

• Experience with electrical simulation tools such as SPICE or PLECS, and power electronics technologies including SiC or GaN.

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

• Strong system intuition and the ability to reason about electrical, thermal, and mechanical tradeoffs.

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

• Background in EVs, EV charging, solar, or battery storage is useful; hands-on side projects are also valued.
