  • Direct impact on product quality and customer satisfaction across mission-critical infrastructure

Your Responsibilities:

Analysis & Problem-Solving:

  • Perform detailed failure analysis on high-voltage (480V+), high-power (500kW-1MW) electronic systems with similar components to UPS units, solar inverters, and electric drives
  • Conduct root cause analysis on field returns and production units using FMEA, 8D, and RCA methodologies
  • Analyze the interaction between power electronics hardware and embedded software/controls
  • Implement tests to replicate failure modes and validate corrective actions
  • Utilize statistical tools and software to analyze failure data and identify trends

Customer & Cross-Functional Collaboration:

  • Manage customer concerns with 360-degree analysis approach
  • Present findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders through detailed reports and presentations
  • Collaborate with R&D, Production, Quality, Logistics, and Procurement teams to implement improvements
  • Coordinate repair and analysis activities across departments to meet deadlines efficiently

Documentation & Continuous Improvement:

  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation of failures and analyses
  • Develop repair strategies and continuously improve analysis methods
  • Perform risk assessments to prevent future failures
  • Drive process and product improvements based on field data

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related field (This is critical for the technical depth required)
  • 5-10 years of hands-on experience   with high-voltage (480V minimum), high-power (500kW-1MW) electronic systems
  • Industry-specific background in ONE OR MORE:
    • UPS systems (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
    • Solar inverters / renewable energy systems
    • Electric drives / motor drives / VFDs
    • DC fast charging
  • Deep technical expertise   in power electronics, including experience repairing and analyzing complex equipment
  • Systems-level thinking:   Ability to understand and explain power electronics + software/controls interaction
  • Proven experience   with failure analysis techniques: FMEA, 8D, Root Cause Analysis
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills   for complex technical challenges
  • Excellent communication skills:   Must present findings to both technical teams and business stakeholders
  • Customer-facing experience   managing technical concerns and field issues
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in cross-functional environments

What You'll Gain:

  • Work on cutting-edge, MW-scale power systems in sustainable mobility infrastructure
  • Move from component-level to systems-level architecture
  • Escape corporate bureaucracy - mid-size company with direct impact

Benefits

  • PTO days
  • 10 company-paid holidays
  • Relocation financial assistance if needed
  • Parental leave for all parents, including adoptive parents
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • FSA and HSA healthcare accounts
  • Life and accident insurance
