AI-Native Electrical Engineer

About the Role

Build early-stage electrical prototypes into testable, deployable alpha hardware for initial design partners. This hands-on hardware role combines power electronics design, simulation, lab validation, and AI-assisted development workflows.

What You'll Do

• Iterate lab-scale prototypes into structured, testable, customer-ready hardware systems.
• Design high-voltage DC power conversion, switching, and distribution architectures, including 800V-class systems using devices such as SiC semiconductors.
• Model and validate electrical, thermal, and system behavior with tools such as SPICE and PLECS.
• Lead hardware bring-up, debugging, and characterization with high-power equipment, troubleshooting switching, timing, sensing, and protection.
• Use AI tools, including agents and language models, to accelerate design, testing, and iteration.
• Coordinate PCB fabrication, component sourcing, and packaging with external partners.
• Make system-level tradeoffs across performance, thermals, reliability, and manufacturability.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of experience designing, prototyping, and testing power electronics systems; relevant experience may range from 2 to 10 or more years.
• Experience taking hardware from prototype through simulation, lab bring-up, iteration, and system validation.
• Hands-on experience with gate-driver design for fast-switching architectures and electrical simulation tools such as SPICE or PLECS.
• A degree in Electrical Engineering or demonstrated aptitude in power electronics.
• Strong system intuition and the ability to reason about electrical, thermal, and mechanical tradeoffs.
• Experience incorporating AI tools, agents, or models into technical workflows.
• Experience in EVs, EV charging, solar, battery storage, or other high-voltage and high-power switching applications is useful. Familiarity with SiC, GaN, and systems around 800V is relevant.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship and be located in or willing to relocate to Detroit.
