Senior Power Electronics Engineer

This opportunity centers on designing power electronics for one of the most dynamic electrical loads in industry — the welding arc. The system must sense real‑time changes caused by operator movement, materials, and conditions, then instantly adjust voltage and current to maintain stability. It’s closed‑loop, high‑frequency (>20 kHz) power control using advanced switching technologies (SiC now, GaN on the roadmap), with full ownership from concept through production. If you enjoy deep, real‑world physics problems and end‑to‑end system ownership, this role is genuinely different.

Job Title:
Senior Power Electronics Engineer
Location:
Appleton, WI (Onsite)
Pay Range:
$99,000 – $165,000 (based on experience)

What’s Needed?

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (advanced degree preferred)
• 4+ years of hands-on power electronics experience with end-to-end product development
• Strong background in power switching, magnetics design, and thermal management
• Experience with high-frequency power systems; SiC and/or GaN experience strongly preferred
• Proven ability to take products through validation, regulatory testing, and production launch

What’s in it for me?

• Ownership of complex, real-world power electronics systems used in commercial products
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge switching technologies and dynamic electrical loads
• Flexible work hours supporting work-life balance
• Strong long-term growth path (Senior Principal Technical Leadership)
• Competitive compensation and relocation assistance
