• Work on next generation architectures and power systems to maintain technical advantages that drive down cost and improve reliability.
• Lead or support network models from utility generation through to our variable DC output (250 -1000VDC) that contribute to defining requirements, design topology, component selection, physical layout effects, construction, commissioning and full life-cycle benchmarking. 
  Define, architect, and test power management fail-safe solutions working with both H/W and S/W teams.
• Support NPI, field and commissioning teams in the installation, testing, and troubleshooting of power and signal interconnections between system elements.
• Support power efficiency electrical bench setups and HIL systems to evaluate system power efficiency and calibrate models for efficiency and reliability depending on Volt-Var characteristics, load change scenarios, grid power quality, equipment faults, etc.
• Work closely with other electrical, mechanical, harness, firmware, software, and test engineers to deliver fully functional product solutions. 

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 4+ years of experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting grid tied infrastructure equipment including XFRMs, SWBDs, primary and secondary breakers, cabinet UPS, CTs & VTs, PLCs, RTUs, DCS/SCADA, etc.
• General understanding of engineering concepts, principles, and theory with technical experience demonstrating the application of those concepts while ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and system reliability.  
• Demonstrate mastery of essential power engineering topics including bonding, grounding, fault protection, fault management, arc-flash, arc-blast, ozone impacts to component life-cycle, corrosion, humidity, etc.
• Hands-on technical experience with integrating and debugging complex power systems using power measurement instruments and devices.
• Experience with EMI effects on mixed-signal PCBs, defining correct shielding, grounding approaches and filtering.
• Wire/cable management, termination, and busing for hazardous and high voltage power distribution.
• Ability to perform power system and electrical load analysis, simulation, and testing to determine optimal solutions given granularity of commodity supply sizing.
• High competence using lab test equipment (benchtop power supplies, electronics loads, digital oscilloscopes, DMM, logic/spectrum analyzers, etc.) with familiarity of thermal and EMI test chambers and using basic software debugging tools.
• Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, RS232/422, RS485, USB).
