Power Electronics Engineer, Charging

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid is designed for corporate tasks targeting labor shortages and jobs that are undesirable or unsafe. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build. We are looking for an experienced Power Electronics Engineer to help us design and test critical hardware to power our Humanoid. Responsibilities: Develop conceptual power architectures and conduct trade studies to support key design decisions Design and validate PCBAs for charging products, including both the power stages and the mixed-signal control boards Support design reviews (schematics, layouts, etc) Support system integration and hardware bring-up by contributing a hands-on, builder mentality to test execution and debugging Requirements: Bachelor or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or related field 4+ years of industry experience, you have designed and shipped multiple products to production Experience with grid-tied AC/DC (you must know how to design a PFC from scratch), DC/DC (Buck, Boost, Flyback, etc.), and resonant converters Hands-on experience designing mixed-signal circuits and control boards. You should deeply understand MCUs, their peripherals, and how to implement them in hardware Experience with high voltage applications, protection circuitry, and the common failure modes associated with power electronics designs Experience sizing and designing discrete power electronics (controllers, gate drivers, MOSFETs, inductors, XFRMs, caps, sensing, etc) Strong experience in EMI/EMC, filter design, and meeting safety/compliance standards Strong hardware debugging skills. You know how to attack a board or system level problem, document it, and fix it quickly Bonus Qualifications: Experience with Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) topologies and charging architectures Experience with Altium Experience with PCB layout, designing for power converters, and layout-level EMC mitigations Experience simulating power electronic circuits Experience working with embedded control systems and/or digital power control The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $150,000 - $250,000 annually. The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
