Power Electronics Engineer
On-siteAuburn Hills, Michigan, United States
Job Summary
Design analog and digital power electronic devices from concept through schematic capture, PCB layout, and manufacturing. Take hands-on ownership of hardware development, including design, build, and test, rather than handing designs off to others. Support final-stage qualification testing on a new product with an active, waiting customer and collaborate closely with software/controls engineers for clean hardware-software integration. Serve as the go-to technical resource for power electronics within the team and take ownership of future or parallel projects as they arise. This role is based in the Detroit / Auburn Hills area and is not remote; strong candidates from outside the immediate area may be considered with relocation support.
Required Qualifications
- Strong, hands-on power electronics hardware experience — schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, bring-up, and test
- Comfortable working across both analog and digital power electronics design
- 50kW+ background
- 200–300kW range experience
- Working knowledge of software/controls sufficient to collaborate effectively with software engineers
- Background in automotive electrification or high-power data center power electronics
- Ability to operate independently and contribute immediately
- Curiosity, a self-starter mindset, and willingness to take ownership of projects beyond the immediate assignment
- This role is based in the Detroit / Auburn Hills area and is not remote
- For candidates in the broader local region, the role could eventually move to a hybrid schedule of roughly three days per week in the office
- Strong candidates from outside the immediate area may still be considered, potentially with relocation support
Desired Qualifications
- High-power experience
- Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with coursework or focus in power electronics
- Experience with EV/hybrid propulsion power electronics — traction inverters, e-axles, e-motors, gate driver design, DC link sizing, or thermal/cooling design for power stages
- Patents or other technical IP in power electronics or adjacent fields
- Six Sigma or similar process/quality certification
