Senior Electrical Engineer

Job Summary We are seeking a Senior Electrical and Power Electronics Engineer to join the Advanced Concepts and Technology team in a critical technical role. This position requires deep expertise in power converter design, development, testing, and application engineering, with ownership across the full lifecycle—from analysis, simulation, build/manufacturing, and validation to support for controls, software development, and real‑time modeling. You will lead the design and optimization of advanced inverters, DC/DC converters, resonant converters, and active rectifiers, and integrate them into larger power and energy systems such as grids, microgrids, islanded systems, energy storage, and propulsion platforms. Responsibilities Review customer requirements for industrial, marine, renewable, and naval power converters and identify gaps between customer needs and current product capabilities. Develop detailed electrical and electronics specifications and lead architecture/trade‑off decisions affecting components, layout, and materials. Lead the design and development of high‑power converters, including selection of SiC, GaN, IGBT, and SCR devices, magnetics, gate drives, capacitors, and analog circuits. Own projects from concept through validated solution, including drawings, BOMs, specifications, test procedures, and commissioning documentation. Perform power electronics and system modeling/simulation using tools like MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSIM, and LTspice to validate topologies and control strategies before prototyping. Analyze grid and microgrid interaction, including grid‑tied/islanded stability, harmonics, power quality, and EMI/EMC filter design. Build, test, and troubleshoot prototypes and system mockups, execute validation plans, and characterize electrical/functional performance. Serve as the technical lead/SME for converter projects, lead design reviews, guide PCB, controls, and junior engineers, and partner with project managers to maintain schedule and customer alignment. Ensure compliance with UL, IEC, IEEE, NEC, and MIL standards, and support DFMEA, reliability analysis, and product certification efforts. Collaborate across firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, sourcing, application engineering, suppliers, and global GE Vernova teams to ensure manufacturability, quality, cost, and customer satisfaction. Required Qualifications Ph.D. in power electronics systems engineering from an accredited university OR MSc. in engineering from an accredited university with an emphasis in Power Electronics and 6+ years’ experience in power electronics/power conversion. 2+ years experience and deep understanding of semiconductor technologies, including IGBT, SiC, GaN, thyristor, and transistor‑based devices, and their implementation in high‑density and large power converter applications. Strong understanding of switching waveforms, loss modeling, and PWM control and overall power electronics design. 2+ years experience in parallel and series implementation of power semiconductors for purposes of higher power and voltage converter design. 3+ years experience in PCB schematic capture and layout, with a focus on minimizing stray inductance and capacitance and optimizing EMI/EMC performance. Strong understanding of magnetics designs, including common‑mode chokes, dv/dt inductors, and output filters. Desired Characteristics Demonstrated expertise in power electronics technologies, including AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC converter design, and the control of voltage‑source and current‑source power converters through published work. Prior experience and knowledge of power electronics and power systems modeling and simulations using MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, and other modeling and simulation tools and software platform. Demonstrated expertise in circuit design for low‑ and medium‑voltage converter applications, including the design, debugging, and testing of gate drivers, controllers, busbar designs, and current sensors, with prior class work or published papers. Strong passion for engineering excellence, attention to detail, and a systems mindset in power electronics design and manufacturing. Experience with real‑time hardware‑in‑loop simulations is desired. Professional demeanor, integrity, and compliance mindset. Global mindset with ability to work effectively across businesses worldwide, nurturing collaborative relationships. Capable of documenting, planning, and managing programs to further business knowledge and capability. Leadership to pursue correct engineering process in adverse conditions, with strong problem‑analysis and resolution skills. Ability to mentor and guide junior engineers, interns, and other team members in technical and professional development. Strong interpersonal skills and an inclusive, approachable attitude. Innovative and inventive in developing intellectual properties (IPs) and a lean mindset to reduce waste and increase efficiency. Willingness to learn, embrace, and utilize AI to enhance engineering and productivity.
