Director of Power Electronics

We are an innovative deep-tech company developing a breakthrough advanced energy system designed to

deliver reliable, scalable, and sustainable power solutions. The company operates at the intersection of

cutting-edge science and complex engineering, with a mission to bring transformative technology from

research to real-world

The role combines deep technical ownership with team leadership. You will work closely with physicists,

mechanical engineers, software engineers, lab teams, suppliers, and subcontractors to deliver reliable,

scalable, and cost-effective power electronics solutions for demanding experimental and future commercial

systems.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the development and commissioning of multi-MW power electronics and pulsed-power generators

driving tens of kA and kV through magnetic coils.

Lead and mentor the power electronics and electrical engineering team; define priorities, manage work

plans, and report progress, risks, budgets, and timelines to R&D and company management.

Own the design, procurement, construction, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and optimization of

power electronics hardware and supporting control, diagnostics, and automation software.

Design and optimize power conversion, charging, switching, energy-storage, inverter, driver, controller,

and passive-component solutions.

Select components and architectures that support reliable, scalable, manufacturable, and cost-effective

systems.

Collaborate with physics, mechanical engineering, software, and laboratory teams to support system

integration, experimental operations, design reviews, and continuous upgrades.

Establish engineering methodologies, testing procedures, documentation standards, schematics,

commissioning reports, and design-review practices.

Manage technical work with consultants, suppliers, subcontractors, and manufacturing partners,

including SOW definition and technical oversight.

Support the transition of systems from R&D prototypes toward scalable and manufacturable designs.

Required Qualifications and Skills

B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

4+ years of experience in power electronics, pulsed-power systems, or high-power electrical systems,

including hands-on engineering leadership.

Strong experience in design, manufacturing, installation, testing, and troubleshooting of high-voltage and

high-current DC and AC systems.

Expertise with solid-state switches such as IGBTs, SCRs, FETs, SiC, and GaN.

Experience with power inverters, converters, charging systems, capacitor banks, energy-storage

systems, and pulsed-power architectures.

Knowledge of magnetics, including high-frequency transformer and inductor design.

Understanding of capacitor selection, derating, reliability, and system-level integration considerations.

Experience designing or working with high-voltage and high-current PCBs.

Strong laboratory measurement skills, including oscilloscopes and high-voltage/high-current probing

solutions.

System integration and troubleshooting capability in multidisciplinary R&amp or deep-tech environments.

Experience with tools such as PSIM, LTSpice, KiCAD, Altium, MATLAB, Python, and Microsoft Office, or

similar.

Excellent communication, documentation, collaboration, and English writing/speaking skills.

Advantages

Experience in advanced energy systems, defense systems, or other complex deep-tech environments.

Experience scaling R&amp prototypes toward manufacturable products.

Experience working with external suppliers, subcontractors, and manufacturing partners.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a motivated, self-driven, hands-on technical leader who wants to build practical fusion

energy systems in a fast-moving startup environment. You do not need to meet 100% of the requirements; if

you are excited by the mission and believe you can contribute, we encourage you to apply.
