Senior Power Systems Electrical Engineer at Omen AI

Company Overview Omen AI is a hardware-focused startup of 20 builders miniaturizing lab‑grade spectroscopy into embedded sensors for industrial machines and datacenters. By delivering real‑time PPM‑level trace analysis of fluids, Omen AI enables predictive maintenance for mission‑critical infrastructure, detecting failures weeks before they occur through advanced plasma‑based sensing and predictive failure modelling. Role Overview Senior Power Systems Electrical Engineer Salary: Not disclosed Location San Francisco, USA Why This Role Matters Own a deep‑physics hardware problem from the ground up, moving from working prototypes to a scalable, field‑deployable system that protects the world’s most expensive infrastructure. Work within a high‑agency, "type‑two fun" environment alongside an elite group of 20 builders and industry veterans who prioritize first‑principles engineering over red tape. Solve unique challenges at the intersection of electromagnetism and fluid dynamics, such as architecting safe HV discharge mechanisms in conductive fluids for direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling loops. Key Responsibilities Own the high‑voltage architecture for Omen AI’s breakthrough spectroscopy sensors, transitioning early‑stage prototypes into robust, production‑ready systems. Lead the design and execution of high‑voltage power architectures, conducting rigorous studies on plasma generation topologies to ensure highly controlled, reliable emission for fluid sensors. Partner with mechatronics teams to develop isolation mechanisms for the Sentry system, enabling repeatable high‑voltage discharge within conductive fluids like water/glycol mixtures. Engineer advanced EMI shielding, isolation, and filtration strategies to protect sensitive optical equipment and low‑voltage logic boards from the violently noisy electrical environment of plasma discharge. Required Qualifications Extensive professional experience designing high‑voltage power supplies, specifically focusing on resonant and flyback topologies for precision hardware or industrial applications. Deep expertise in fundamental physics, including dielectric breakdown, physical chemistry, and electromagnetism, with a demonstrated ability to think beyond standard reference designs. Hands‑on track record of managing ground loops and designing internal enclosures that maintain operational integrity in high‑EMI environments through rapid, rigorous benchtop prototyping. #J-18808-Ljbffr Jack & Jill
