Electrical Engineer II / III
About The Position
Advanced Energy is seeking a highly motivated Electronic Engineer to design, develop, test, and support advanced power supply systems and related subsystems. The role contributes across the product lifecycle, from concept development and design through validation and manufacturing support, in collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions. The position may be filled at Engineer II or Senior Engineer (III) level, with the level determined by the candidate’s experience, technical expertise, independence, and ability to lead complex engineering work. The position is based onsite in an office environment in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. At the Senior level, the engineer leads subsystem or product design efforts, influences technical direction, mentors less experienced engineers, and presents results and recommendations to leadership and stakeholders.
Requirements
- Strong foundation in electrical engineering, including circuit design, power electronics, and system-level integration.
- Proficiency with laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, spectrum/network analyzers, and power measurement tools.
- Experience with electronic design tools such as Cadence, Altium, or SPICE simulation.
- Knowledge of embedded systems, control systems, or RF/power systems concepts.
- Programming or scripting experience with Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar tools.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
- Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.
- Engineer II: 2–5 years of relevant experience in electronic or power systems design, or an advanced degree.
- Engineer II: Experience contributing to product development, testing, and troubleshooting in a professional environment.
- Engineer II: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Senior Engineer: 5+ years of relevant experience in electronic design or a similar field, or an advanced degree.
- Senior Engineer: Proven track record of owning designs, solving complex engineering challenges, and delivering results independently.
- Senior Engineer: Bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Senior Engineer: Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex technical problems and lead design efforts.
- Senior Engineer: Experience influencing system architecture, design direction, or cross-functional decisions.
- Senior Engineer: Ability to mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and validate power supply systems and circuits, including analog/digital, RF, control logic, and power electronics.
- Perform schematic capture, support board layout, develop prototypes, and conduct system-level testing.
- Execute and analyze laboratory experiments, test data, and performance validation to ensure designs meet functional and regulatory specifications.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across development, manufacturing, and field environments.
- Develop models, simulations, and analytical tools to improve design robustness and reduce iteration cycles.
- Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and field applications teams to achieve cost, schedule, and quality targets.
- Support laboratory operations, including equipment setup, automation, maintenance, and safety compliance.
- Develop scripts or tools such as Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW to automate testing, data acquisition, and analysis.
- Document designs, test results, and engineering changes clearly and thoroughly.
- At the Senior level, lead design efforts for subsystems or full products, drive technical decisions, and influence architecture or design direction.
- At the Senior level, provide technical guidance, mentorship, and review support to less experienced engineers.
- At the Senior level, present results, proposals, and design recommendations to leadership and stakeholders.
