Senior Manager, Power Electronics

Description

• Evaluate and select key components such as power semiconductors (SiC, GaN), magnetics, and cooling systems
• Develop partnerships with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and technology providers
• Lead design reviews and trade studies as needed
• Assist in developing factory test approaches for the power electronics components of our systems
• Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory and safety standards (e.g., UL, IEC, SAE)
• Oversee the full product development lifecycle – from concept through design, validation, and manufacturing
• Lead and own the architecture, design, and development of power electronics systems for EV chargers, including AC-DC and DC-DC conversion stages
• Define technical roadmaps aligned with product strategy and evolving industry standards (e.g., ISO 15118, OCPP, CCS, CHAdeMO)
• Collaborate with software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver high-quality, cost-effective, and reliable solutions to production
• Support testing and debug as required
• Hire, coach, develop, and motivate direct reports to accomplish team goals

Requirements

• PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Familiar with coding/scripting language such as Python and C, or equivalent
• Proven track record in delivering commercial power electronics products – preferably in the EV charging, automotive, or renewable energy sectors
• Experience with ECAD tools including schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium, Cadence, Mentor, Zuken)
• Strong project management, team building, and communication skills
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Experience developing hardware for power electronics, including topology selection, switching device selection, magnetics design and sensing network design
• Deep understanding of high-power topologies (e.g., resonant converters, interleaved PFC, LLC, multi-phase DC-DC)
• Familiarity with grid integration, bidirectional power flow, and energy management systems
• 15+ years of experience in power electronics design and development, with at least 3 years in a leadership role
• Experience with wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC/GaN) and digital control (e.g., DSPs, FPGAs, or microcontrollers)
• Experience with problem solving processes used in automotive (e.g. 7-step, 8D, 5-why)
• Design experience in the automotive industry (OEM or Tier 1)
• Experience developing digital control systems for grid tied inverters, rectifiers, and DC/DC converters using microcontroller platforms
• Demonstrated experience of applying advanced simulation techniques in developing power electronics and control loop design
