Power Electronics Engineer

This Power Electronics Controls Engineer would augment our power electronics engineering team developing the company’s power electronics solutions and operate within a small non-hierarchical team of engineers. The successful candidate must be a fast learner, leveraging related project experience and education in electronics theories and methods to deliver diverse grid connected hardware solutions for single-phase and multi-phase power converter platforms. The individual must be a highly motivated self-starter and team player with strong ethics, committed to delivering industrial product quality and performance. The ERMCO-GridBridge team operates in an open, collaborative, and flexible environment to achieve the most effective use of all team members’ contributions.

Position responsibilities as follows:

 EE Design Project background/experience (Sophomore, Junior, Senior)
 Working knowledge of electronics lab practices, construction & debug of digital & analog circuits using common lab tools and instruments (meters, scopes, analyzers)
 Good build, assembly, and hand-tool use skills for quick lab prototyping and wiring lab apparatus
 Good documentation and organizational skills
 Working knowledge of schematic capture tools
 Experience with microprocessors or programmable logic devices.
Experience with board- and system-level communications like ethernet/IP, CAN, I2C, etc.
 Self-motivated, self-starter, team player
 Strong ethics and dedication to deliver on commitments

Desired Experience and Knowledge for the Ideal Candidate:

 1 to 5 years of experience in electrical engineering projects, preferably power electronics
related.
