Detroit, United StatesFull job description
Description
About the Role
Join a hands-on hardware team taking early-stage prototypes through development into deployable alpha systems for design partners. You will build and validate high-voltage power electronics, helping turn concepts into functional products.
What You'll Do
Develop lab-scale prototypes into structured, testable alpha hardware.
Design high-voltage DC power conversion, switching, and distribution systems, including architectures using SiC devices.
Model and validate electrical, thermal, and system-level behavior with tools such as SPICE and PLECS.
Lead lab bring-up, debugging, and characterization, resolving issues involving switching, timing, sensing, and protection.
Use AI tools, including agents and language models, to accelerate design, testing, and iteration.
Coordinate PCB fabrication, component sourcing, and packaging with external partners.
Balance performance, thermal, reliability, and manufacturability needs as designs evolve.
Location
On-site in Detroit, Michigan, United States.
Requirements
What We're Looking For
Typically 2 to 10+ years of experience designing, prototyping, and testing power electronics systems.
Experience owning hardware from prototype through simulation, bring-up, iteration, and system validation.
Hands-on skills in gate-driver design for fast-switching architectures and high-voltage or high-power systems.
Experience with power electronics, circuit design, high-voltage DC systems, SiC or GaN, and simulation tools such as SPICE or PLECS.
A degree in Electrical Engineering or demonstrated aptitude in power electronics.
Strong system intuition and the ability to reason through electrical, thermal, and mechanical tradeoffs.
Experience integrating AI tools into engineering workflows.
Background in EVs, EV charging, solar, or battery storage is useful; personal engineering projects are also relevant.
Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship and be located in or willing to relocate to Detroit.
Benefits
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $110,000 to $250,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
