Power Electronics Design Engineer

Location: Greenville, SC
Department: Engineering
Reports To: Engineering Manager
Schedule: Office Hours

Position Summary

This opportunity supports a rapidly expanding, autonomous business unit within a well-capitalized global organization, operating in a high-mix, low-volume, custom engineered-to-order environment. The Power Electronics Design Engineer will have end-to-end ownership of electrical power electronics design—from early concept through validation, production, and field support—working on technically complex, customer-driven solutions. This is a highly visible role with strong cross-functional exposure and meaningful influence as the business continues to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead electrical power electronics design from preliminary concept through final design, validation, and production support

• Analyze and evaluate new and existing designs using simulation tools, analytical methods, and test data

• Develop technical proposals, design documentation, test plans, and test reports

• Design, build, and test prototypes to validate performance and design intent

• Support production and fielded products through troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and design updates

• Maintain design control, documentation integrity, and configuration management

• Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and program teams

• Participate in design reviews and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders

• Manage multiple priorities while meeting schedule, cost, and performance objectives

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in an electrical design or power electronics environment

• Experience designing, analyzing, and testing:

  • AC/DC power systems (including three-phase AC)

  • DC/DC converters

  • High-voltage circuits (2kV and above preferred)

• Proficiency with electrical simulation and analysis tools (e.g., SPICE, SIMPLIS, SIMetrix)

• Experience with 2D/3D CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred)

• MATLAB and/or LabVIEW experience a plus

• Strong technical documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills

• US citizenship or perm residency  required. 

Why This Role

This is a high-impact opportunity to join a fast-growing business unit backed by the scale, investment, and long-term stability of a global organization—while still operating with the agility and visibility of a smaller, entrepreneurial team. Engineers in this group gain ownership across the full product lifecycle, direct access to leadership, and the chance to work on complex, custom designs that drive real customer value.

As the organization continues to scale, this role offers a clear and credible growth path for high performers, with long-term potential to advance into Engineering Management, Senior Leadership, and ultimately Vice President-level roles.

The company offers full relocation assistance, competitive compensation, and a compelling long-term career opportunity in Greenville, SC.
