Experience with SiC and GaN devices is preferred. You are coming from an OEM or semiconductor applications background with years of experience building power electronics systems. This role requires deep technical expertise, strategic thinking, and the ability to drive innovation at the intersection of power electronics, functional safety, motor control, inverters, and system integration. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping next-generation power electronics platforms by collaborating with cross-functional teams and OEM/ Tier 1 partners to deliver robust, scalable, and standards-compliant system architectures. The ideal candidate will possess a strong track record of working closely with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)/ Tier 1, contributing to the definition and development of complex, system-level architectures in automotive and industrial applications. This includes cross-functional collaboration across hardware, software, and systems engineering teams to align technical requirements with product strategy and customer needs.\nWhy Join Us?\nWork on cutting-edge technologies that shape the future of power electronics in AI-DC and Automotive industries.\nCollaborate with world-class engineers and product leaders and influence strategic direction and innovation in safety-critical systems.\n Lead system architecture definition for next-generation power electronics solutions, ensuring alignment with functional safety, performance, and scalability requirements.\nExpertise in using MOSFETs, SiC, GaN power ICs, AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion topologies, motor control, and magnetics is a key requirement.\nCollaborate with OEMs and internal cross-functional teams (including product, design, systems, software, and validation) to define and refine system-level requirements and interfaces.\nDrive end-to-end architectural decisions, from concept through production, balancing trade-offs across power, sense & control, thermal, cost, mechanical, and safety constraints.\nWork with the Functional safety team to ensure compliance with ISO 26262, UL safety and other relevant automotive or Industrial safety standards. Functional safety experience is good to have but not mandatory,\nCommand on EMI/EMC as well as radiation tolerance and space applications is desired.\nTranslate customer and market requirements into robust, modular, and reusable system architectures that support long-term product roadmaps.\nProvide technical leadership and mentorship to systems engineering teams, guiding best practices in architecture modeling, safety analysis, and system validation.\nStay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes, and integrate relevant innovations into architectural planning.\n Proven experience in power electronics systems focusing on AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion topologies and architecture, using SiC, GaN, and Si MOSFETs.\nStrong background in electrical and thermal modeling, simulations, and bench testing.\nDemonstrated leadership in leading cross-functional engineering teams.\nExcellent communication skills with the ability to listen and discover customer needs and distill complex technical concepts into customer-ready specifications.\nHands-on experience in system architecture of high voltage power electronics products in automotive safety critical applications or Industrial applications.\nExperience in collaborating with Tier 1 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) on the development and integration of power electronics systems. This includes a deep understanding of system-level requirements, component selection, and cross-functional coordination to deliver high-performance, reliable solutions in complex product environments.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nMaster’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field with minimum 10 years of experience in power electronics for automotive systems, AI datacenter or other related applications.\nDeep understanding of solid-state switching technologies (e.g., SiC, GaN) and their application in high-reliability automotive and industrial environments.\nProven experience architecting systems that meet functional safety requirements under ISO 26262, including development of safety concepts, technical safety requirements, and safety cases.\nFamiliarity with automotive communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and system integration challenges.\nFamiliarity with different motors, motor control algorithms, and position control\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make high-impact architectural decisions in ambiguous or evolving technical environments.\nExcellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence internal teams and external partners at all levels.\nPrior experience representing technical strategy in customer engagements, industry working groups, or standardization bodies is a plus.\nonsemi is excited to share the base salary range for this position is$151,455.00 - 272,550.00 exclusive of fringe benefits or potential bonuses. The final pay rate for the successful candidate will depend on geographic location, skills, education, experience, and/or consideration of internal equity of our current team members. We also offer a competitive benefits package. https://www.onsemi.com/site/pdf/Benefits-Summary-USA.pdf","description_format":"text","description_chars":5554,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical & Electronic Engineering","Analog & Power Semiconductors","Machine Vision & 3D Cameras"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-07T13:47:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.335,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":152,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":272550,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/onsemi-system-architect-power-electronics","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/onsemi-system-architect-power-electronics.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T17:25:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23987,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":58717},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58717"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fonsemi-system-architect-power-electronics"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fonsemi-system-architect-power-electronics"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fonsemi-system-architect-power-electronics"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/onsemi-system-architect-power-electronics\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fonsemi-system-architect-power-electronics"}]}
