AI-Native Electrical Engineer

About the Role

Join a hands-on hardware team taking early-stage prototypes through development into deployable alpha systems for design partners. You will build and validate high-voltage power electronics, helping turn concepts into functional products.

What You'll Do

• Develop lab-scale prototypes into structured, testable alpha hardware.

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

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

• Lead lab bring-up, debugging, and characterization, resolving issues involving 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.

• Balance performance, thermal, reliability, and manufacturability needs as designs evolve.

What We're Looking For

• Typically 2 to 10+ 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 skills in gate-driver design for fast-switching architectures and high-voltage or high-power systems.

• Experience with power electronics, circuit design, high-voltage DC systems, SiC or GaN, and simulation tools such as SPICE or PLECS.

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

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

• Experience integrating AI tools into engineering workflows.

• Background in EVs, EV charging, solar, or battery storage is useful; personal engineering projects are also relevant.

• Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship and be located in or willing to relocate to Detroit.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $110,000 to $250,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site in Detroit, Michigan, United States.
