Electrical Engineer - Orison Solutions

Job Title: Electrical Engineer (onsite)
Location: Maryland
Work Authorization: USC
Salary: 110K - 140k

Our client is looking for a talented Electrical Engineer with a strong focus on Power Electronics Hardware and Control Design. The ideal candidate will be engaged in the following activities: 

·Designing and testing SiC-based power electronic converter topologies, including active rectifiers, isolated DC-DC converters, solid-state transformers, and high-speed motor drives

·Developing and testing DSP-based digital control algorithms, FPGA modulators, and PLC-based high-level system controllers.

·Creating detailed PCB designs, such as SiC gate drivers, system control PCBs, and supporting hardware.

·Designing and testing low (1.2 - 1.7 kV) and medium voltage (3.3 – 10 kV) SiC semiconductor modules.

·Implementing embedded control algorithms, harmonic compensators, software PLLs, and other embedded algorithms.

·Setting up Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop test environments, control cards, and control algorithms.

·Experience with medium voltage power distribution, solid-state transformers, and printed circuit board design is highly desirable.

Minimum Requirements: 

·Must be a U.S. citizen due to ITAR program restrictions.

·5-11 years of electrical engineering experience.

·Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field with a minimum GPA of 3.3. Advanced degrees (MS or PhD) are a plus.

·Ability to obtain a DoD security clearance. 

Preferred Experience: 

·Designing and controlling motor drives, AC-DC, and DC-AC converters.

·Developing high-speed communications with high-performance FPGAs.

·Programming various microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs.

·Direct experience with TI C2000 DSPs and Altera FPGAs.

·Hands-on experience with platforms like OPAL-RT, Typhoon, PLECS RT Box, or other HIL platforms.

 Current Projects: 

·Designing high-power SiC and silicon power devices for converters and inverters.

·Ensuring EMI/EMC MIL 461 compliance and meeting other MIL spec design requirements.

·Developing multiple parallel/series connected bi-directional galvanically isolated AC/DC, DC/DC converters.

·Working with 13.8 kV and 4160V grid interface power converters.

·Designing MV isolated DC-DC converters.

·Creating power converters ranging from 50kW to 500kW, scalable to higher power levels in the MW range.

·Applications include Navy (surface & sub), Army vehicles and infrastructure, and aircraft.
