Power Electronics Embedded Systems Engineer

Engineering – Flemington, New Jersey Area | On-Site | Full-Time

A well-established U.S.-based electronics manufacturer is seeking a specialized Power Electronics Embedded Systems Engineer to join its engineering and R&D team.

The successful candidate will work on advanced, globally relevant applications involving electric vehicle powertrains, semiconductor fabrication, research systems, high-power electronics, and other sophisticated engineering applications.

Role Summary

As a Power Electronics Embedded Systems Engineer, you will design and integrate sophisticated control architectures for multi-kilowatt programmable DC power supplies. You will be responsible for the full development lifecycle—from modeling advanced control algorithms to implementing ultra-reliable firmware and validating high-voltage hardware—directly impacting the performance and reliability of next-generation power solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and tune high-bandwidth closed-loop control models (PI/PID, state-space) in MATLAB/Simulink for real-time power conversion.
• Architect and implement deterministic bare-metal C firmware for TI C2000 MCUs, including low-level drivers such as PWM, ADC, CAN, and Ethernet.
• Design mixed-signal and high-voltage 2- to 4-layer PCBs using Altium Designer, prioritizing signal integrity and DFM.
• Perform hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation and laboratory debugging using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and differential probes.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure regulatory compliance, including UL/IEC/CE requirements, and support volume-production sustainment.

Requirements

• Education: Must have a BS in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a similarly related field. MS preferred.
• Experience: Must have 5+ years of professional work experience in power electronics engineering with a focus on switching-converter design.
• Control & Modeling: Must have proficient hands-on experience in MATLAB/Simulink for control-loop modeling and auto-code generation.
• Embedded Systems: Must have expert-level experience in bare-metal C programming for TI C2000 or equivalent 32-bit real-time MCUs.
• Hardware Design: Must have proficient hands-on experience with Altium, PCB bring-up, and laboratory communication protocols including SCPI and Python.
• Must currently be authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.

Benefits

The employer provides a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) plan with company match.
• Life and supplemental insurance options.
• Critical illness, accident, and FSA options.
• Paid time off.
• Monday-Friday work schedule.
• Tuition reimbursement, certifications, conferences, and professional-development opportunities.
• Domestic relocation reimbursement for eligible hires.
• No employment sponsorship is available.
