This role is ideal for an engineer with hands-on experience in power electronics controls, electronic converter design, and hardware validation/testing who can contribute immediately with minimal ramp-up time. The successful candidate will support development activities related to electronic converter controls while collaborating closely with hardware teams on testing, validation, and integration activities. This position is a one-year contract with the potential to transition into a full-time role for the right individual.

• Design, develop, and implement control strategies for power electronic converters.
• Develop and validate control algorithms for DC-DC converters, inverters, and other power conversion systems.
• Utilize MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, simulation, development, and validation activities.
• Design and tune PI/PID control loops, PWM strategies, and PLL (Phase Locked Loop) control systems.
• Support architecture development for digital control systems used in power converters.
• Collaborate with hardware engineering teams on product validation, testing activities, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
• Participate in lab testing and system-level verification activities.
• Analyze system performance and recommend design improvements.
• Support hardware integration and investigate converter control issues.
• Contribute to documentation, technical reviews, and engineering best practices.

• Power Electronics Controls Experience
• Strong experience developing controls for power electronic converters in an industrial or commercial environment.
• Demonstrated understanding of inverter control, DC-DC converter control, digital control systems, PWM implementation, PLL techniques, and PI/PID tuning.
• Experience designing control architectures for power conversion products.
• Proficiency with MATLAB and Simulink.
• Experience with simulation, control development, and validation workflows.
• Ability to support hardware teams with functional testing, hardware validation, troubleshooting, and lab-based testing activities.
• Understanding of power electronics hardware and converter systems.

• Experience working for a company focused on power electronics products or technologies.
• Strong understanding of sampling theory, digital implementation of power electronics controls, and control system stability and optimization.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Previous experience supporting both controls development and hardware testing activities.
• Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Controls Engineering, or a related discipline is considered an asset.

The work environment involves collaboration with both software and hardware teams to ensure the seamless integration and performance of power electronics systems. The role requires hands-on involvement in lab-based testing and validation activities. The dress code is casual, and the position may require occasional overtime to meet project deadlines.
