Role Summary

As a Power Electronics Embedded Systems Engineer within Magna-Power’s R&D team, you will design and integrate sophisticated control architectures for multi-kilowatt programmable DC power supplies. You will be responsible for the full development lifecycle—from modeling advanced control algorithms to implementing ultra-reliable firmware and validating high-voltage hardware—directly impacting the performance and reliability of our next-generation power solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and tune high-bandwidth closed-loop control models (PI/PID, state-space) in MATLAB/Simulink for real-time power conversion.

• Architect and implement deterministic bare-metal C firmware for TI C2000 MCUs, including low-level drivers (PWM, ADC, CAN, Ethernet).

• Design mixed-signal and high-voltage 2- to 4-layer PCBs using Altium Designer, prioritizing signal integrity and DFM.

• Perform hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation and lab debugging using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and differential probes.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure regulatory compliance (UL/IEC/CE) and support volume production sustainment.

Requirements

• Education: BS in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or related field (MS preferred).

• Experience: 5+ years in power electronics engineering with a focus on switching converter design.

• Control & Modeling: Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink for control loop modeling and auto-code generation.

• Embedded Systems: Expert in bare-metal C programming for TI C2000 or equivalent 32-bit real-time MCUs.

• Hardware Design: Hands-on experience with Altium, PCB bring-up, and laboratory communication protocols (SCPI, Python).

Perks & Benefits

In addition to your competitive compensation, Magna-Power provides a comprehensive total rewards package designed to help you thrive:

• Health & Wellness: Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage.

• Financial Future: 401(k) plan with a competitive company match, plus Life/Supplemental insurance, Critical Illness & Accident plans, and FSA options.
