Senior Power Electronics Control Engineer
About The Position
In the role of Power Electronics Control Engineer, you will be an important part of Magna-Power's R&D team, creating the controls and integrating them with power electronics for multi-kilowatt programmable DC power supplies. You’ll model advanced control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink, translate them into ultra-reliable C firmware on TI C2000 MCUs, and validate everything on custom PCBs you help design and debug. From concept through production, you’ll collaborate closely with power-electronics, test, and manufacturing teams to deliver the next generation of high-performance power solutions. Given the complex nature of the products, there will be significant hands-on training and interaction with various Magna-Power teams.
