The Role

As a Power Electronics Design Engineer, you will develop innovative electronic products from early concept through prototype, verification, and production release. You will take ownership of power electronics hardware design while collaborating closely with systems, embedded software, mechanical, and industrial design teams. Ingenuity develops real-world commercial products across a range of industries. This role is suited to a practical, hands-on engineer who can make sound technical decisions in an evolving consulting environment, communicate clearly with clients and teammates, and bring robust, manufacturable products to life.

The role involves:

• Develop power-electronics products including converters, inverters, motor drives, power supplies, and power-distribution systems.
• Own schematics, component selection, calculations, PCB layout, and technical documentation.
• Design analog, digital, and power circuits including sensing, isolation, protection, gate drive, and MCU interfaces.
• Design and review PCBs in Altium, with attention to thermal performance, high current and high-voltage design, parasitic inductance and capacitance, EMI/EMC, DFM, and DFT.
• Collaborate closely with the mechanical team on the design and verification of heatsinks, cold plates, enclosures, and related thermal interfaces.
• Collaborate with embedded software and systems teams to define, implement, and verify hardware–software interfaces for power-electronics control, sensing, protection, fault handling, and communications.
• Bring up, test, debug, and improve prototypes.
• Plan and perform functional, electrical, thermal, safety, and pre-compliance verification.
• Support product compliance and work with external test laboratories, as applicable.
• Prepare clear specifications, test plans, reports, BOMs, and manufacturing-release documentation.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical support to customers and teammates.
• Support technical estimating, risk identification, and design trade-off decisions during project development.

Minimum Criteria

In order to be considered for the role, applicants are required to meet the following minimum criteria:

· Authorized to permanently work in the United States.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent relevant experience.
• 5+ years of electronics product-development experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on power-electronics experience, including high-voltage and/or high-current systems.
• Experience taking products from concept through prototype, verification, and production.
• Strong analog, digital, and power-circuit design skills.
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium or a similar tool.
• Strong hands-on hardware bring-up, testing, and troubleshooting capability.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; able to work independently and within a multidisciplinary team.

Favorable Criteria

Applicants who meet the following criteria will be considered favorably:

• Converters, inverters, motor drives, power supplies, battery systems, or other high power products.
• MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC, or GaN devices; magnetics; thermal design; isolation; and protection circuits.
• Working knowledge of high-voltage safety, isolation, protection methods, and PCB layout practices for power electronics.
• Power-control microcontrollers such as TI C2000, NXP, STM32, or dsPIC33.
• CAN, USB, Ethernet, I²C, SPI, UART, RS-232, or RS-485.
• Power-electronics lab testing, including oscilloscopes, power analyzers, thermal testing, double-pulse testing, HIL, or dynamometer testing.
• Client-facing product-development or consulting experience.
