AI-Native Electrical Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 1, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 1, 2026.
About the Role
Join an energy technology team building high-voltage power systems, and help turn early-stage prototypes into deployable alpha hardware for design partners. This hands-on role spans electrical design, simulation, lab validation, and end-to-end hardware execution.
What You'll Do
Develop lab-scale prototypes into structured, testable, customer-ready hardware systems.
Design 800V-class DC power conversion, switching, and distribution architectures using modern devices such as SiC.
Model electrical, thermal, and system-level behavior with tools such as SPICE and PLECS, then iterate on designs.
Lead lab bring-up, debugging, and characterization with high-power equipment, addressing switching, timing, sensing, and protection challenges.
Use AI-enabled tools, including agents and language models, to accelerate design, simulation, testing, and iteration.
Coordinate PCB fabrication, component sourcing, and packaging with external partners.
Make practical tradeoffs across performance, thermal management, reliability, and manufacturability.
What We're Looking For
At least 2 years of experience designing, prototyping, and testing power electronics systems.
Experience owning hardware from prototype through validation, including design, simulation, bring-up, and iteration.
Hands-on gate-driver design experience for fast-switching architectures and familiarity with high-voltage systems, such as 800V DC.
Experience with electrical simulation tools such as SPICE or PLECS, and power electronics technologies including SiC or GaN.
A degree in Electrical Engineering or demonstrated aptitude in power electronics.
Strong system intuition and the ability to reason about electrical, thermal, and mechanical tradeoffs.
Experience incorporating AI tools, such as agents or models, into engineering workflows.
Background in EVs, EV charging, solar, or battery storage is useful; hands-on side projects are also valued.
