16d • $130,000 - $150,000 • Onsite

About The Position

ALTEN Technology USA is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to own the electrical development of power electronics products across the full product lifecycle, from concept and design through prototyping, validation, and manufacturing. The work focuses on products that support clean energy, beginning with home energy storage systems. The engineer will collaborate with a dedicated, cross-functional team and work hands-on with simulations and hardware, contributing to products intended for high-volume production.

The role includes detailed design of tester interface boards for IoT devices and power electronic systems, including DC/DC converters and inverters. It also involves system bring-up, testing, troubleshooting, and developing test and validation methods for individual PCBAs and complete systems. The position is on-site five days per week in Mountain View, California. The listed salary range is $130,000–$150,000; the actual offer depends on factors including location and job-related qualifications and experience.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and 3 years of experience in power electronics design.
• Experience with battery management systems, inverters, and charging systems.
• Proficiency with Altium Designer schematic capture and PCB layout, and experience working with PCB fabrication and assembly houses.
• Strong laboratory skills and working knowledge of tools and techniques for power-conversion testing and analysis, including oscilloscopes, impedance analyzers, sources, and loads, in high-voltage, high-current, and high-noise environments.
• 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, particularly noise analysis and grounding techniques.

Responsibilities

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