Power Electronics Engineer, New Product
Description For Power Electronics Engineer, New Product
Redwood Materials, founded in 2017, is revolutionizing the electric vehicle and clean energy industry by creating a sustainable circular supply chain for batteries. As a Power Electronics Engineer, you'll join an early-stage product design team, taking charge of developing sophisticated power converter systems. The role demands expertise in high-voltage (1,000-2,000VDC) and high-power (10-200kW) systems, combining technical prowess with practical implementation skills.
You'll be responsible for the complete lifecycle of power electronics design, from initial conception through high-volume production. The position requires deep understanding of both hard- and soft-switched topologies, ability to create precise control models, and hands-on experience with circuit board layout for high-power applications. This is an opportunity to shape the electrical engineering function within a dynamic startup environment.
The ideal candidate brings 7+ years of experience in power conversion or energy storage products, with a strong academic background in Electrical Engineering. You'll work with cutting-edge technology, collaborating across teams to optimize efficiency, cost, and reliability of power conversion systems. The role offers competitive compensation ($150,000-$280,000) and the chance to contribute to sustainable energy solutions.
This position is perfect for a self-driven professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to make a significant impact in sustainable technology. You'll be at the forefront of developing next-generation power electronics solutions that are crucial for the future of electric vehicles and clean energy storage.
