Job Purpose:

We are seeking a Senior Electrical and Electronics Engineer to join our diverse, experienced, multidisciplinary group of engineers to design large-scale batteries for high-power electric vehicles and stationary equipment.

The candidate must have product engineering experience in electrical design, building, and testing highly reliable digital/analog circuits, PCBA, embedded systems, and electrical systems. They must be able to develop straightforward design solutions to complex problems and thrive in a team environment. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are also required enabling an effective interface with other professionals, the production of appropriate documentation, and the presentation of results to a limited internal audience

The position requires an individual with strong analytical-base design skills, performing analysis, trade studies, developing conceptual designs and maturing those designs into the production phase, often in an environment where requirements may change, and cost and schedule pressures dictate an efficient approach

Primary Responsibilities:

• Develop AC and DC HV charging control strategies and requirements definition for global markets
• Assemble models (via Simulink) for verification of electric vehicle charging system for on-vehicle (BMS/HV/LV/CAN/LIN) and off-vehicle (EVSE/grid/cloud) systems
• Design PCB layout of complex multi-layer rigid boards, including DFMEA and PFMEA
• Design for compliance to safety, EMI, and other specifications (e.g. UL2580 UL991, IEC 60950, etc.)
• Support embedded software engineers by providing verified system models with supporting documentation (flowcharts, state diagrams, UML Sequences, etc)
• Support requirements decomposition from multiple sources, including vehicle-program cascades, global standards and regulations, lessons-learned, diagnostics, etc.
• Extensive experience interfacing and managing external suppliers
• Drive technology improvements, work with engineers across the company to improve subsystem and vehicle architecture, innovate
• Lead and/or participate in technical reviews
• Develop test plan and reviews to ensure testing strategies and methods truly stress and verify design compliance and safety
• Assess cost/benefit trade-off of technical solution and lead decision making process
• Drive fast and thorough problem resolution through use of team-oriented problem-solving tools, including 8D, 5-Why, Is-Is Not techniques
• Ability to understand electrical and mechanical drawings

Position Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical, electronics or controls engineering (Masters preferred)
• 5+ years of experience with power electronics (e.g. high voltage/current converters, inverters, etc.)
• EMI design and testing
• High Voltage Battery systems
• SW development and diagnosis
• Power distribution and control systems
• Utility Grid Interface

Key Competencies:

· Experience in taking power electronics designs from concept, to requirements definition and component selection, to simulation, to prototype, to test, to production implementation

· Experience with use of and continued development of the Software Toolchains

· Good understanding of PCB schematics and comfortable with basic hardware tasks (soldering components, adding jumpers, harness wiring, etc.)

· Builds safety, quality and compliance into all actions; committed to continuous learning and self-improvement

· Action oriented, displays behaviors that demonstrate ownership in the success of the company

· Demonstrates focus on meeting both internal and external customer needs when identifying, prioritizing and accomplishing tasks

· Evaluates existing work processes and initiates practices to promote continuous improvement

· Excellent communications and interpersonal skills – position requires strong interaction in multi-functional team environment
