Responsibilities

• Design and test WBG- (SiC or GaN) based power electronic converter topologies including active rectifiers, isolated DC-DC converters, solid-state-transformers, and high-speed motor drives
• Design and test power electronic converter digital control algorithms
• Develop Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) or real-time (RT) test setups
• Design and test systems based on WBG semiconductor modules ranging from 1.2 kV to 10 kV
• Lead cross-functional teams to develop solid-state power conversion systems
• Provide technical input into business development activities
• Create, review, and issue prototype and production level test procedures and test plans
• Write and/or review EE focused patents, whitepapers, and technical conference/journal articles
• Mentor junior Engineers

Requirements

• BS in electrical engineering, computer science, or related major required; graduate work is acceptable in lieu of some work experience
• Some experience developing higher power (>5 kW) solid-state power conversion is a must-have
• Ability to obtain/maintain a DoD security clearance
• Immediate Requirements/Projects Include:
• High Power SiC and Silicon power device design into converters/inverters
