Our client is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer Lead Tech Manager to lead and manage a highly skilled group of Electrical and Power electronic engineers.

The Engineer will work on designing and testing advanced power electronics and control systems, using specialized digital and programmable technologies to improve performance and efficiency. More specifically, a qualified technical lead candidate will be involved in:

Providing technical leadership to the EE team through the following:

• Design and testing of SiC-based power electronic converter topologies including active rectifiers, isolated DC-DC converters, solid-state-transformers, and high-speed motor drives
• Detailed PCB designs including SiC gate drivers, system control PCBs, and support hardware
• Optimizing embedded control algorithms, harmonic compensators, software PLLs, etc.
• Develop Controller-Hardware-in-the-Loop and Power-Hardware-in-the-loop test setups
• Creation, review, and issuance of prototype and production-level electrical drawings and schematics

Leadership and/or managerial experience with a focus on the following:

• Leading a team of 4-10 engineers through research and product development phases
• Providing technical leadership while also pushing the team to meet customer requirements, schedules, and budgets
• Autonomy to hire new team members and write proposals/bring in new work
• Write and/or review EE-focused patents, whitepapers, and technical conference/journal articles
• Mentoring of junior and other senior engineers
