About The Position

ALTEN Technology USA is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to develop power electronics systems across the full product lifecycle, from concept and design through prototyping, validation, and high-volume manufacturing. The role focuses initially on home energy storage systems and includes hands-on work with simulation and physical hardware. The engineer will collaborate with a dedicated, cross-functional team to create innovative products that support the company’s clean-energy mission and work across electrical, mechanical, thermal, reliability, and firmware disciplines.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and 3 years of experience in power electronics design.
Experience with battery management systems, inverters, charge systems, or similar systems.
Proficiency with Altium Designer schematic capture and PCB layout.
Experience working with PCB fabrication and assembly houses.
Strong laboratory skills and working knowledge of power-conversion test and analysis tools and techniques, including oscilloscopes, impedance analyzers, sources, and loads in environments with high voltage, high current, and high common-mode and differential-mode noise.
Experience working with high voltage, current, and power.
Proficiency in prototyping and rework, including conduction and hot-air soldering, paste and flux application, and cleaning.
Familiarity with embedded control and programming microcontrollers, PLDs, and similar devices.
Analog circuit design experience, including op-amps, stability analysis, and linear and switching power-supply design.
Mixed-signal design experience, especially noise analysis and grounding techniques.

Responsibilities

Contribute experience and creativity to product-level features, design, and vision.
Design tester interface boards for IoT devices, power electronic systems, DC/DC converters, and inverters.
Bring up and test systems to validate functionality, optimize performance, and evaluate critical characteristics.
Develop efficient test and validation mechanisms for individual PCBAs and complete systems, including custom test cards and apparatus.
Work with the mechanical engineering team on a bed-of-nails fixture.
Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, reliability, and firmware engineering to optimize products.
Own the electrical aspects of the system from design through prototype, validation, and manufacturing.
Debug and troubleshoot systems down to the component level.
