TL;DR · Electromagnetics & High Frequency Power Electronics Engineer

The Electromagnetics & High Frequency Power Electronics Engineer joins a cross-functional team to develop smaller, more efficient high voltage power supplies for subsea communication systems. The role involves designing custom high frequency power transformers for HV isolated applications, managing core loss, copper loss, and thermal behavior. Key responsibilities include designing windings to mitigate skin and proximity effects, optimizing LC tank circuits for resonant power conversion, and tuning designs for zero voltage switching and zero current switching. Candidates must utilize FEA simulation tools like ANSYS Maxwell and COMSOL to model magnetic fields and parasitics. Required technical skills include knowledge of Maxwell's equations, EMI/EMC analysis, and wide bandgap devices like SiC and GaN. The work focuses on solving high frequency power conversion and isolation integrity challenges in a defense context.

What you'll do

  • Design smaller, more efficient high voltage power supplies for subsea communication systems.
  • Perform FEA simulations using ANSYS Maxwell or COMSOL to model magnetic fields and parasitics.
  • Design custom high frequency power transformers for high voltage isolated applications.
  • Select core materials and design windings to mitigate skin effects, proximity effects, and core losses.
  • Design and optimize LC tank circuits for resonant power conversion and zero voltage switching.
  • Analyze EMI/EMC performance and dielectric behavior in high voltage isolated designs.
  • Manage thermal behavior and frequency-dependent behavior across various load and input voltage ranges.
  • Identify opportunities to apply AI for continuous process improvement and innovation.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Must be able to obtain a Department of Defense Secret security clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related Science, Engineering, Technology, or Mathematics field.
  • 8+ years of job-related experience, or a Master's degree plus 6 years of job-related experience.
  • 5+ years of direct experience in high frequency magnetics design and resonant power electronics.
  • MSEE or PhD in Electromagnetics or Power Electronics (preferred).
  • Skills in custom magnetics design, resonant converter topologies, FEA simulation, HV isolation design, and EMI/EMC (preferred).
  • Defense/aerospace background, experience with wide bandgap devices, and hands-on magnetics characterization (preferred).
