Senior Power Electronics Engineer

Senior Power Electronics EngineerInsight Global is seeking a Senior Power Electronics Engineer for a client developing advanced high-power energy infrastructure. This role will be responsible for the design, simulation, prototyping, validation, and commercial release of high-power, grid-connected converters for applications including utility-scale energy storage, data centers, and industrial electrification. The position requires technical breadth across semiconductor switching physics, circuit-level dynamics, high-voltage magnetics, converter controls, and multi-megawatt system architectures. This engineer will work cross-functionally with firmware/software, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, compliance, certification, reliability, and NPI teams to transition complex power electronics designs into robust, production-ready hardware.Key ResponsibilitiesArchitect and implement advanced bidirectional, isolated, and non-isolated converter topologies, including DAB, resonant, multilevel, MMC, and multi-stage SST architectures.Partner with mechanical and manufacturing engineering to integrate high-power converter modules and stacks with thermal management, racking, structural support, and system-level enclosures.Develop layouts that minimize circuit parasitics, including loop inductance and gate-loop parasitics, while managing voltage overshoot, ringing, and electromagnetic interference.Design custom high-frequency magnetic components, balancing core losses, skin/proximity copper losses, and thermal dissipation.Partner with embedded controls and firmware engineers on digital control implementation.Lead hands-on hardware bring-up, testing, debugging, and iterative design revisions, validating electrical and thermal performance against theoretical models.Apply DFM, DFA, DFT, and Design for Cost principles throughout the hardware development lifecycle to support scalable manufacturing.Collaborate with NPI and manufacturing engineering to establish production assembly flows, end-of-line functional testing, and second-source strategies for critical components.
