Lead DC‑DC Converter Design Engineer

Sub Max:

Pay Rate: $ to $100.00

Duration: (6 Months contract to hire)

Shift: 9/80

Let’s get right to it — are you the engineer who can say “yes” to these?

• Can you architect and deliver DC‑DC and other power converters from concept through production, spanning tens of Watts to hundreds of kilowatts?
• Do you move confidently across power, analog, high‑voltage analog, mixed‑signal, and digital domains?
• Are LTspice/PSpice and MATLAB/Simulink your go‑to simulation environments?
• Have you guided PCB layout using Altium Designer or Mentor Graphics and overseen the details that make great hardware manufacturable?
• Do you thrive at the bench with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and electronic loads, hunting down tricky issues?
• Have you mentored junior engineers and communicated complex ideas clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences?

What you’ll tackle

• Design and analysis: own architecture, perform worst‑case assessments, run simulations, and direct PCB layout.
• Bring‑up and verification: execute initial power‑up, integration, verification, and deep‑dive troubleshooting.
• Production support: partner with manufacturing to ensure smooth builds and on‑time delivery.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: align with electrical, mechanical, software, systems, test, and program teams from proposal and feasibility through test, production, and field support.

Background we’re seeking

• Expertise in DC‑DC converter and broader power converter development.
• Experience across avionics systems; electrical/electronic systems; equipment installation and wiring; electrical schematics; PCB components and assembly; CAD tools.
• Analytical problem solver with a track record of untangling complex technical issues.
• Skilled communicator and team leader/mentor.

Experience/Education

• Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 9 years of prior relevant experience; Graduate Degree with at least 7 years of related experience; or 13+ years related experience in lieu of a degree.
• Education: Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 6 years relevant; Graduate Degree and minimum 4 years related; or 10+ years related experience in lieu of a degree.
• BSEE or MSEE preferred.
