Senior/Staff Power Electronics Engineer

requirements. We prioritize a strong grip on first principles, hands-on skills, and a sense of initiative. Domain-specific knowledge and experience will help determine the career level for each hire. Must-Have

Requirements Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience. Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in the design, prototyping, testing, and industrialization of power converters. Deep understanding of power electronics topologies, both theoretical and applied, including isolated and non-isolated architectures. Proven experience with high-voltage semiconductor devices such as IGBTs, Si/SiC MOSFETs, and diodes, as well as design of gate drivers and sensing circuits. Strong grasp of magnetic component design and selection—inductors, transformers—as well as capacitor types (film, ceramic, electrolytic) for high-voltage/high-frequency operation. Solid understanding of switching behavior, semiconductor loss mechanisms, and experience with power loss and thermal modeling. Proficient in schematic capture, simulation tools (SPICE, PLECS, LTspice, Simulink etc.), and familiar with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and power analyzers. Experience in PCB layout for power electronics, including strategies to reduce parasitics, improve thermal management, and ensure manufacturability and EMC compliance. Working knowledge of product safety, reliability, and environmental standards for industrial applications. Basic understanding of control systems and experience working with embedded firmware; familiarity with UL, CE, and grid interconnection standards (such as IEEE 1547, UL347A, etc.) relevant to power converters. Work authorization in the United States Nice-to-Haves Experience designing or testing medium-voltage systems (e.g., 5kV–35kV), including insulation coordination, clearance/creepage, and partial discharge considerations. Familiarity with grid-tied hardware such as medium-voltage converters, switchgear, circuit breakers, or protective relays. Knowledge of insulation materials, shielding techniques, and arc flash mitigation for high-voltage systems. Background in reliability engineering and accelerated life testing (HALT, HASS, FMEA) for power electronics. Exposure to manufacturing processes for high-power assemblies (e.g., busbars, potting, conformal coating, HV connectors). Hands-on experience with test automation using Python, LabVIEW, or embedded scripting for power hardware validation. Participation in standards committees or familiarity with emerging grid codes and interconnect standards is a plus. If you are passionate about technology and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you. Join us in accelerating the electrification of everything at Heron Power.
