Position Summary:

We are seeking a technically skilled and hands-on Electrical Engineer with experience in power electronics design, PCB layout, and embedded firmware development. This role is focused on the design, development, and validation of advanced battery chargers and DC power systems for heavy-duty truck and trailer applications.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, product-focused environment and is passionate about bringing high-reliability solutions from concept through to production.

Key Responsibilities:

Product Development & Design

• Design and develop DC battery charging systems, DC/DC converters, and intelligent power distribution components.
• Design analog and digital circuit schematics and oversee PCB layout and routing for performance, thermal efficiency, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and specifications based on customer use cases in the heavy-duty vehicle market.

Firmware Development

• Develop and debug embedded firmware (C/C++) for microcontrollers used in battery chargers and power control modules.
• Implement features such as temperature compensation, CAN/J1939 communication, diagnostics, and safety mechanisms.
• Conduct code reviews, bench testing, and validation for robust field performance.

Testing & Validation

• Build and execute test plans to validate circuit performance, EMI compliance, and firmware functionality.
• Support engineering documentation, compliance reviews, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) activities.
• Analyze field data and support root-cause investigations to drive product quality and reliability.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Product Management, Manufacturing, and Field Applications teams to ensure products meet customer needs and are scalable for production.
• Support technical documentation, service manuals, and training for internal and external stakeholders.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 5 – 10 years of experience in product development involving: Power electronics design (DC/DC, battery charging, inverters) Embedded firmware development (C/C++, microcontrollers) PCB layout and analysis
• Strong knowledge of battery chemistries, charging algorithms, thermal management, and protection circuits.
• Familiarity with CANbus, J1939, and vehicle electrical architectures is preferred.
• Ability to use engineering tools such as Altium, SPICE simulation, and lab instrumentation.

Desired Attributes:

• Self-motivated, collaborative, and hands-on with a drive for innovation.
• Strong problem-solving, documentation, and time-management skills.
• Familiarity with regulatory and environmental compliance standards (SAE, ISO, UL) is a plus.
• Experience in automotive, commercial vehicle, or off-highway industries is highly preferred.

The candidate must be able to travel to US.

The given salary range is between $110,000 - $130,000 base.
