  • Lead lab testing, troubleshooting, and performance assessments
  • Resolve complex technical issues through root-cause analysis
  • Collaborate with R&D teams worldwide on cutting-edge power solutions
  • Contribute to next-gen high-density, high-efficiency power platforms
Requirements
  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or related
  • Experience with high-voltage power systems
  • Strong skills in lab testing, debugging, and optimization
  • Ability to work from idea to prototype in a development setting
  • Interest in customer-focused problem-solving and global partnerships
  • Bilingual abilities are a bonus
Additional Information
  • Salary: $180K–$200K
  • Bonus: 20%
  • Travel: 20–25%, including Europe and Asia
  • Relocation: Available for North American candidates
  • Visa Support: H1B transfer, TN, and Green Card options

This role offers the chance to join an emerging R&D team tackling real-world high-power challenges with a global reach and the opportunity to shape future power solutions.
