Senior Power Electronics Engineer

ABOUT THE JOB

You will own energy regulation for a maritime autonomous vehicle. Reporting to the Energy Systems Lead, you will design power conversion and regulation circuits that deliver stable, clean power to all subsystems while maximizing conversion efficiency for long-range endurance.

Every point of converter efficiency is range the vehicle gets back, and the power electronics have to dump their heat into a sealed hull with no air moving over them. This role owns the trade between efficiency, thermal margin, and volume.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own power regulation and DC-DC conversion design
• Design voltage regulation circuits for multiple subsystem voltage rails
• Optimize converter efficiency to maximize vehicle endurance
• Manage thermal design for power electronics in sealed enclosures
• Ensure power quality for sensitive loads (compute, sensors, communications)
• Interface with energy storage, distribution, and consuming subsystem teams
• Support EMI/EMC design and qualification testing
• Support prototype integration and testing
• Travel up to 25% to test sites

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or equivalent
• 5+ years of experience in power electronics, voltage regulation, or DC-DC converter design
• Experience with converter topology selection and efficiency optimization
• Familiarity with thermal management for power electronics
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with marine or vehicle power regulation systems
• Working knowledge of wide-input-range converter design
• Experience with EMI/EMC design for power electronics
• Experience in defense or maritime robotics
