Emporia is accelerating the energy transition by helping small commercial and residential consumers save up to 50% on their utility bills. We combine automated energy management tools, real-time 24 / 7 energy monitoring with utility rate schedules and wholesale energy prices to give our customers true insight into how they are using and spending money on energy. Our Smart Outlets, EV chargers, home batteries and cloud integrations to a third-party smart home device, thermostat and smart appliances allow us to reduce pollution, shift usage to less expensive times and save our customers money.

Our Mission

We help people use energy smarter, save money, and improve the world—guided by four pillars :

  • Customer Satisfaction : We listen to our customers and build products that elevate their lives.
  • Optimization : We refine processes to offer the highest-quality products at the best value.
  • Innovation : We continuously evolve through technology, ingenuity, and common sense.
  • Making the World Better : We develop home electrification solutions that solve real problems and improve lives.

Role Overview

At Emporia Energy, hardware products are the tip of the spear - attracting customers, fueling data analytics, and enabling demand response through integration with Emporia's energy management platform. We provide our customers with reliable, high value-add products at industry-leading pricing.

We are looking for a passionate Senior Manager, Power Electronics to help expand the Emporia Energy hardware ecosystem – initially by working on our upcoming Bidirectional EV Charger. Work will involve owning control loop design and verification for both AC / DC and DC / DC power converters and contributing to needed V2G, G2V, and V2H hardware and control designs. As a senior member of the Hardware Development team, the ideal candidate will lead the Power Electronics team on this cross disciplinary project and provide mentorship to senior and mid level engineers while demonstrating the strong analysis, design, and test skills required to produce the reliable, low-cost hardware our customers expect.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and own the architecture, design, and development of power electronics systems for EV chargers, including AC-DC and DC-DC conversion stages
  • Oversee the full product development lifecycle – from concept through design, validation, and manufacturing

  • Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory and safety standards (e.g., UL, IEC, SAE)
  • Collaborate with software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver high-quality, cost-effective, and reliable solutions to production
  • Evaluate and select key components such as power semiconductors (SiC, GaN), magnetics, and cooling systems
  • Develop partnerships with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and technology providers
  • Assist in developing factory test approaches for the power electronics components of our systems
  • Lead design reviews and trade studies as needed
  • Support testing and debug as required
  • Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 15+ years of experience in power electronics design and development, with at least 3 years in a leadership role
  • Proven track record in delivering commercial power electronics products – preferably in the EV charging, automotive, or renewable energy sectors
  • Experience developing hardware for power electronics, including topology selection, switching device selection, magnetics design and sensing network design
  • Experience developing digital control systems for grid tied inverters, rectifiers, and DC / DC converters using microcontroller platforms
  • Demonstrated experience of applying advanced simulation techniques in developing power electronics and control loop design
  • Deep understanding of high-power topologies (e.g., resonant converters, interleaved PFC, LLC, multi-phase DC-DC)
  • Experience with wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC / GaN) and digital control (e.g., DSPs, FPGAs, or microcontrollers)
  • Strong project management, team building, and communication skills
  • Desired Qualifications & Skills

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • Design experience in the automotive industry (OEM or Tier 1)
  • Experience with problem solving processes used in automotive (e.g. 7-step, 8D, 5-why)
  • Experience with ECAD tools including schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium, Cadence, Mentor, Zuken)
  • Familiar with coding / scripting language such as Python and C, or equivalent
  • Familiarity with grid integration, bidirectional power flow, and energy management systems
