What does a magnetic engineer do?

A Magnetic Engineer designs, analyzes, and develops technologies related to magnetic fields and materials. They work in industries such as electronics, energy, and automotive to improve magnetic systems, such as electric motors, transformers, and sensors. Their role involves researching magnetic properties, optimizing designs, and solving technical challenges related to magnetism.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a magnetic engineer?

To excel as a Magnetic Engineer, you need strong expertise in electromagnetism, material science, and experience with magnetic simulation and analysis, typically supported by a degree in electrical engineering, physics, or a related field. Familiarity with simulation tools such as ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL Multiphysics, or similar electromagnetic modeling software is often required, along with knowledge of relevant industry standards. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams are valuable soft skills. These competencies enable Magnetic Engineers to design, test, and optimize magnetic systems crucial for applications in industries like automotive, medical devices, and renewable energy.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a magnetic engineer?

Magnetic Engineers typically spend their days designing and analyzing magnetic circuits, selecting appropriate magnetic materials, and running computer simulations to test performance. They work closely with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams to integrate magnetic components into larger systems and address any design challenges that arise. The role also often involves hands-on prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting of magnetic assemblies in laboratory environments. Effective communication and documentation are essential, as Magnetic Engineers must clearly convey complex technical findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical team members.

Job description

Company Overview
Amperesand is reinventing how the world powers its most critical systems.
We are facing a once-in-a-generation opportunity for infrastructure disruption. Electricity demand is skyrocketing, driven by AI factories, electric vehicles, and modern industrial growth. Energy supply is shifting to incorporate a more diverse mix of resources - including solar, gas, and batteries - at a massive scale.
And yet the power infrastructure behind our latest mega-projects hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly 100 years. Supply chains for today's infrastructure equipment can't match the pace and sophistication of critical energy projects. Amperesand is building hardware and software that rewrites this broken power infrastructure playbook to support a new era of energy abundance.
We've built a new class of intelligent, software-defined power infrastructure products leveraging a decade of advanced medium voltage Solid State Transformer research that's now ready for commercial deployment.
Our products and solutions go far beyond the capabilities of traditional electrical equipment. We make power systems that are faster to deploy, dramatically smaller and more efficient, and capable of supporting modern, dynamic energy needs for tomorrow's most demanding energy consumers.
Scalable in-house advanced manufacturing capability is our foundation for meeting timeline and quality expectation to serve infrastructure customers around the world.
Amperesand is led by breakthrough energy hardware development veterans and funded by top tier investors who share our vision of building a category-defining energy technology company.
With hubs in San Francisco, Reno, and Singapore, our global team is laser focused on building foundational technology to solve the most pressing problems in power infrastructure at scale.
Join us in building the power foundation of the future!
Responsibilities
  • Design isolated and non-isolated converter stages using advanced topologies such as multi-level converters, cascaded H-bridges, Dual Active Bridge (DAB) and ensuring robust protection and safety compliance for MV/LV systems
  • Perform trade-off analysis and optimization of power conversion hardware to balance between loss, cost and size across Semiconductors, Magnetics and Cooling components
  • Design magnetics to meet applicable safety, isolation, and thermal standards
  • Design and verify high-voltage isolation strategies using magnetically and optically isolated signal and power paths across LV-MV domains
  • Use FEA simulations to design magnetics and guide high-power high-frequency PCBA designs
  • Work in close coordination with mechanical designers, manufacturing and test engineers to own the complete development cycle
  • Own the design validation of the magnetics components to validate performance targets, isolation requirements

Qualifications
  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Power Electronics, Electromagnetics or related field
  • 4+ years' experience in magnetics design and in power conversion design
