Job Description Job Description Direct-hire opportunity for a Power Electronics Engineer to support an Advanced Engineering team. This role involves designing advanced HVDC and LVDC power systems and developing innovative thermal and magnetic solutions to enable reliable, high-performance GPU environments. Location: San Francisco, CA Salary: $200,000-$300,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications Benefits: Retirement or pension plan, Health, dental, and vision, and PTO Relocation assistance provided for the right candidate Responsibilities Lead end-to-end power electronics development for HVDC/LVDC power architecture systems serving multi-gigawatt GPU computing loads, from circuit design through manufacturing. Design high-power, high-voltage control and protection circuits including SiC/GaN gate drivers, fault detection systems, and isolated sensing for DC power distribution platforms. Develop embedded control systems using microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs for real-time power management, monitoring, and protection of high-frequency power electronics. Design auxiliary power supplies for 800V-1500V DC inputs, isolated communications interfaces, and EMI/EMC compliant circuit architectures. Perform circuit simulation, PCB layout (Altium Designer, SPICE, PLECS), thermal analysis, and design verification for high-reliability power electronics assemblies. Lead reliability testing, manufacturing transfer, and field deployment support for power electronics serving mission-critical AI infrastructure. Requirements 7 years of experience in power electronics circuit design with deep expertise in high-voltage, high-current applications. Proven track record designing and bringing up complex digital and analog circuits for power management, control, and protection systems. Expert-level proficiency with PCB design tools (Altium Designer preferred), circuit simulation (SPICE, PLECS), and hands-on troubleshooting of high-voltage circuits. Strong understanding of wide-bandgap devices (SiC, GaN), gate driver design, isolated power supplies, and high-frequency magnetics. Experience with embedded systems programming (C/C++), FPGA development (VHDL/Verilog), and real-time control algorithms for power electronics. Deep knowledge of power conversion topologies, digital control loop design, soft-switching techniques, thermal management for power semiconductors, and high-voltage insulation coordination.
