Fluidstack PCB Design Engineer responsible for designing power stage and gate-driver boards for solid-state transformer cells. Focuses on layout for fast-switching SiC modules and isolated auxiliary power and signal links.
Responsibilities
Design power stage and gate-driver boards for every SST cell
Lay out boards for fast-switching SiC with low-inductance commutation loops and high-voltage creepage and clearance
Design isolated auxiliary power and signal links for boards floating at high voltage inside series stacks
Bring up boards on the bench

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.
You've designed and brought up gate-driver and power-stage boards for SiC or GaN converters at hundreds of volts and above.
You've laid out boards that switch at high dv/dt without false triggering, and can show the loop inductance you designed for.
You've designed isolated power supplies or signal isolation for circuits floating at high voltage.
You've met creepage and clearance requirements on a high-voltage board and passed a hipot test with it.
You've taken a board from schematic to a contract manufacturer and fixed what failed at first article.
Bonus: PCB design tools (Altium, Cadence). Interconnect design certification (IPC CID, CID+). Power conversion board standards (IPC-2221, IPC-2152, IPC-9592). Sensing for power electronics (Rogowski coils, isolated amplifiers). Laminated busbar design.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
