Power Electronics Engineer, Thermofluids

Required

• The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
• 10+ years of experience in power electronics and motor drive design, including high-power converters, high-speed motor drives, and electrical safety for test and production systems.
• You’ve designed a high-power converter or motor drive that got built, and you were there the first time it drove a real load.
• You’ve integrated a drive with a motor somebody else designed, and dealt with what the drive then did to the machine and to everything sharing the bus.
• You’ve chased an EMC, harmonic or bearing-current problem to its actual cause instead of adding a filter and hoping.
• You’ve written electrical safe work practices and then enforced them on people who found them inconvenient.
• You’ve powered up a test cell or a first-of-a-kind installation, and you were the one who decided it was safe to close the breaker.
• You're comfortable with regular travel: expect 25% or more, depending on business needs.
• Most of our engineering team, stakeholders, and work are based in Austin, TX, and we value working in person. We have a strong preference for Austin and run a hybrid model, but we're open to other locations for the right role and candidate.
• Bonus: High-speed and magnetic-bearing drive systems. Electric propulsion and aerospace power systems (eVTOL, satellite EPS, electric pump-fed engines). 800 V class DC architectures and wide-bandgap devices (SiC, GaN). Test cell power and safe practice around energized work (test benches, load banks, regenerative drives).
• We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
