The role involves working with high-voltage equipment, energy storage components (capacitors, pulse-forming networks), switching technologies (spark gaps, solid-state switches), and electromagnetic systems. The engineer is responsible for ensuring performance, reliability, and safety of pulsed power systems under demanding conditions.
You will work closely with internal teams and external partners to define technical needs, troubleshoot design challenges, and ensure quality through structured testing and risk management.
Key Accountabilities:
Product Development and Technical Innovation
  • Work with internal and external key stakeholders to define specifications and scope of requirements for related projects and solutions
  • Identify opportunities for improvement/enhancement to current product design
  • Lead/participate with failure/RCA investigations
  • Design and deliver timely, cost-effective solutions with a focus on functionality and reliability supported by comprehensive testing and validation practices
  • Specify, procure, and evaluate new components or technology to be applied or integrated into existing products and solutions
  • Collect, analyze, interpret, and present field and bench testing data

Cross-Functional Collaboration - Technical/Customer Support

Required Skills & Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field (PhD preferred)
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in pulsed power, high-voltage, or power electronics systems
  • Experience in high-voltage systems (kV), fast transients, and extreme dI/dt / dV/dt environments
  • Knowledge of pulsed power components: capacitors, high-voltage converters, spark gaps, solid-state switches
  • Strong background in insulation coordination and dielectric materials
  • Proficiency in simulation tools (SPICE, MATLAB, CST, PLECS, PSIM, COMSOL, or equivalent)
  • Experience with fast electrical diagnostics and data acquisition systems
  • Working knowledge of relevant standards and regulations (IEEE, ANSI, CSA, NEC)
  • Intermediate+ proficiency with technical and collaboration tools (Microsoft 365, SharePoint)
