About the Role:

We are building next-gen power electronics from the ground up. As an Electrical Engineer on our hardware team, you'll be responsible for designing, prototyping, and scaling PCBA-based power systems. You'll work end-to-end, from schematic design, simulation, to lab testing, and finally refining designs for production. This is a unique opportunity to make meaningful contributions in a high-growth engineering organization, especially if you've got prior product design experience and a hands-on mindset.

What You'll Do:

  • Design power converter/inverter topologies, perform circuit simulation & verification
  • Develop PCBA layouts, focusing on high-current, thermal, EMC-robust designs
  • Select and optimize power components, including semiconductors and magnetics
  • Build, debug, and validate prototypes in our lab
  • Document design decisions, write test plans, and maintain specifications
  • Define and lead test strategy, including compliance, reliability, and risk analysis
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams: software, systems, mechanical
  • Take products from prototype to production, support scale-up

What We're Looking For:

  • Electrical/Electronics Engineer (Bachelor's/Master's)
  • Solid power electronics background (SMPS, power modules, converters)
  • PCBA design experience (schematic + layout) using tools like Altium or similarly
  • Simulation skills (MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, SPICE)
  • Strong lab testing skills (oscilloscopes, analyzers, debugging)
  • Understanding of EMC/EMI, thermal, and safety design
  • Experience bringing hardware products to production is a major plus
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills

Why Join Us?

You'll be part of a lean, innovative team where your work directly impacts product direction. You'll have a real opportunity to lead design efforts, implement your ideas, and see them through to production. There's room for career growth, and you'll be rewarded through both compensation and ownership.
