• Lead electrical design activities for AC/DC battery chargers, DC/DC converters, rectifiers, and related power-conversion equipment.
• Support new-product development from concept through design, verification, first-article testing, and production release.
• Design and improve digital and analog hardware used in embedded-control platforms.
• Develop production-ready schematics, circuit designs, PCB layouts, and supporting documentation.
• Evaluate power semiconductors and electrical components for performance and reliability.
• Ensure products can operate under harsh conditions, including extreme heat, cold, moisture, flooding, and severe weather.
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, testing, and continuous-improvement activities.
• Collaborate with firmware and systems engineers to define product requirements and hardware-software interfaces.

• Serve as a senior technical resource for individual power units and complete integrated systems.
• Diagnose breaker trips, ground faults, load-sharing imbalances, communication errors, and other system-level problems.
• Perform root-cause analysis and lead corrective actions.
• Support technical questions from customers, sales, manufacturing, quality, and field-service teams.
• Provide guidance regarding product capabilities, applications, limitations, and system integration.

• Prepare and maintain schematics, bills of material, engineering-change requests, interface specifications, revision notes, and test documentation.
• Maintain accurate revision control throughout the product lifecycle.
• Apply applicable UL, CSA, NEC, and IEEE standards to new and existing designs.
• Support regulatory-certification submissions and third-party testing.
• Ensure engineering and production documentation remains accurate and current.

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Approximately 7+ years of relevant electrical design or power-electronics experience.
• Strong knowledge of power electronics and power-conversion systems.
• Experience with:
  • AC/DC and DC/DC conversion
  • Rectifier topologies
  • Battery-charging algorithms
  • Power semiconductor selection
  • Thermal management
  • Digital and analog circuit design
  • PCB design and production release
• Experience troubleshooting industrial power systems or supporting field-service issues.
• Working knowledge of applicable UL, CSA, NEC, and IEEE requirements.
• Ability to create accurate schematics, BOMs, engineering changes, interface documents, and revision-controlled design records.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Experience designing power equipment for data centers, utilities, industrial plants, telecommunications, or municipal infrastructure.
• Experience with Altium Designer or a comparable PCB-design platform.
• Knowledge of embedded microcontrollers and embedded-control systems.
• Familiarity with FPGA/VHDL and hardware interfaces such as SPI and UART.
• Experience with UL or CSA certification programs.
• Familiarity with IPC standards and design-for-manufacturing practices.
• Experience bringing electrical products from concept through verification and production.

• Work on essential power systems supporting data centers and critical infrastructure.
• Lead technically challenging designs from concept through production.
• Join a collaborative engineering organization that encourages new ideas and continuous improvement.
• Work directly with engineering, firmware, manufacturing, quality, sales, and senior leadership.
• Competitive salary, bonus opportunity, strong benefits, and employee-focused workplace programs.
• Contribute to an expanding product portfolio and growing manufacturing operation.

• This is a 100% on-site position in the Greater Allentown, Pennsylvania area.
• Candidates must be able to commute or relocate to the area.
• Relocation assistance may be negotiated.
• Employment sponsorship is not available.

Qualified candidates should submit a resume for confidential consideration. Please include your power-electronics design experience, PCB-design tools, regulatory-compliance background, current location, compensation expectations, and availability to interview.
