Description

We are seeking a Manager of Power Electronics Engineering to lead a team of 10–15 electrical engineers developing next-generation inverter systems for grid applications.


This role combines technical leadership with team management. You will be responsible not only for guiding engineers, but for driving system-level design decisions and ensuring that our products perform reliably in the field.


You will own the development of power converter platforms and their integration into multi-megawatt systems (~5 MW scale), working across hardware, controls, and system integration disciplines.

Requirements

  • Lead and develop a team of 10–15 electrical engineers working on power converter design and integration
  • Drive the design and architecture of grid-connected inverter systems at the multi-megawatt scale
  • Ensure successful integration of inverter platforms into larger systems (BESS, solar plants, data centers)
  • Provide technical leadership in power electronics, including converter design, PCB implementation, controls, protection, and system-level electrical integration (fusing, cabling, grounding, and interconnects)
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and field engineering teams
  • Guide engineering tradeoffs with a focus on performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability
  • Lead design reviews, verification & validation efforts (DVT), and product release processes, ensuring designs are thoroughly tested, meet requirements, and perform reliably under real-world operating conditions
  • Mentor engineers and elevate the technical capabilities of the team

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (PhD a plus)
  • 8+ years of experience in power electronics or related field
  • 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams or technical groups
  • Strong expertise in: 
    • Power converter design (DC/AC, DC/DC, inverter systems)
    • Medium-voltage and high-power applications
    • Grid-connected systems and standards
    • PCB design and layout considerations for high-power/high-frequency systems
    • Balance-of-system design including protection, cabling, grounding, and interconnects
  • Experience designing or integrating megawatt-scale power systems
  • Experience leading or overseeing design validation testing (DVT), system test plans, and failure/root-cause analysis
  • Solid understanding of system-level design, including controls, thermal, and protection considerations
  • Experience with applications such as energy storage, solar PV, or grid infrastructure
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a hands-on engineering mindset
  • Ability to communicate clearly and work effectively across disciplines

  Benefits

  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Disability and life insurance
  • Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
