Overview Staff Power Electronics Controls EngineerStormentum is accelerating energy independence by helping solar installers provide storage-first systems that homeowners can actually afford. Our modular, battery-agnostic inverter platform cuts hardware costs by 50% and reduces total system costs by up to 30%, giving installers full control over design, supply chain, and margins. Our founding team has spent decades at the frontier of residential solar and storage—designing the hardware, building the software, and scaling the teams that brought clean energy into millions of homes. We're building Stormentum to solve the hardest problem in the space: making storage-first systems affordable enough for every homeowner, not just early adopters.What You'll DoDevelop component and system-level controls and fault-behavior requirements and collaborate with the hardware and firmware teams on microcontroller and sensor selection, hardware filter design, and the communication architectureSupport the firmware team with implementing digital controls and developing tools for debugging control algorithmsModel and simulate the impact hardware changes will have on component and system-level controlsDevelop and test the efficacy and system-level impact of different switching techniquesModel control algorithms in the analog and digital domain and support the development of dynamic physics models for power electronics hardware, solar cells, energy storage systems, and grid loadsSupport additional algorithm development to meet safety, compliance, reliability, and customer-facing performance requirementsSupport the firmware and hardware teams by developing controls for component and system-level device test apparatusesWhat You'll BringAn MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or similar field (specialization in power electronics a plus)5+ years of experience developing and implementing power electronics control systems, ideally across 2 full cycles of projects bringing two distinct products to marketBoth a strong theoretical and practical understanding of the digital implementation of power electronics control systems using classical controls derivation techniques to understand the stability, observability, and controllability in the analog and digital domainsDemonstrated experience developing, implementing, and testing control algorithms at the component and system level for switching power converters using both simulation and hardware platformsExperience modeling power electronics hardware and control systems in Matlab/Simulink or PLECS simulation development environments and real-time simulation platforms (like Opal-RT, Typhoon HIL)Experience developing and implementing control algorithms in compliance with processes outlined in UL 1741 SA/SB, IEEE 1547, UL 1741 PCS, UL 1998, and IEC 61508Experience programming control and safety algorithms in C/C++ and PythonAdditional Desired SkillsFamiliarity with decentralized controls for interconnected systems a plusFamiliarity with Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs) a plusFamiliarity with international grid standards including CSA C22.2 No.107.1, IEC 62109-1/-2, and EN 50549 a plusCompensation and BenefitsThe successful candidate's base pay will be determined based on several factors, including, but not limited to, specific competencies, relevant education, qualifications, experience, skills, and organizational needs.
