Electrical Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, such as Engineering Physics or Computer Engineering.
• At least 3 years of hands-on electrical hardware design experience.
• Hands-on design and test experience in power electronics, such as inverters, motor drives, power supplies, or induction heating.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design using Altium, KiCad, Allegro, or similar tools, and circuit simulation using SPICE, PLECS, or similar tools.
• Confidence using laboratory test equipment, including oscilloscopes, differential and current probes, and power analyzers, and experience with iterative, trial-and-error hardware development.
• Ability to work safely with high-voltage equipment.
• Ability to work on-site in Austin, Texas.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance.
• Compliance with applicable export control laws and regulations; the role involves exposure to export-controlled information.

Nice To Haves

• At least 5 years of hands-on electrical hardware design experience.
• Experience with induction heating or resonant power converters, including series/parallel resonant, LLC, or soft-switching designs.
• Experience with IGBT or SiC MOSFET power stages, gate drivers, magnetics design (including Litz wire and matching transformers), and water-cooled power hardware.
• Electromagnetic or thermal simulation experience using COMSOL, ANSYS Maxwell, or similar tools for coil and load design.
• Low-noise analog design experience, such as transimpedance or charge amplifiers, lock-in amplifiers, or ion detection and spectrometry electronics.
• Experience with high-temperature measurement and control, including thermocouples, pyrometers, and closed-loop temperature control.
• Embedded or lab control experience using microcontrollers, PLCs, LabVIEW, or Python for DAQ.
• Background in a national laboratory, university research group, or hardware startup.
• Currently holding an active DOE Q or DoD TS clearance.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test power electronics and power supplies, including inverters and their control and protection circuitry.
• Iterate hardware from bench-scale prototypes to robust, multi-kilowatt lab systems.
• Develop control, feedback, and safety interlock systems for power and thermal processes.
• Evaluate, specify, and integrate commercial power equipment alongside in-house designs.
• Contribute to instrumentation and diagnostics projects, including sensor signal conditioning and data acquisition (DAQ).
• Own the hardware development cycle, including schematic capture, PCB layout, prototyping, bench testing, and iteration.
• Work directly with scientists and mechanical engineers to turn requirements into working hardware.
• Support installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of electrical and control hardware.
