Job Description

Job Description

Direct Hire opportunity for a Power Electronics Controls Engineer to join an Advanced Engineering group to help architect the next generation of data center infrastructure. You will lead the design of cutting-edge HVDC and LVDC systems while pioneering thermal and magnetic solutions that enable reliable, large-scale GPU operations.

Location : San Francisco, CA

Salary : $200,000-$300,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications

Benefits : Retirement or pension plan, Health, dental, and vision, and PTO

Relocation assistance provided for the right candidate

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement control algorithms for high-power DC-DC converters and active front-end systems in HVDC / LVDC architectures serving multi-gigawatt GPU computing loads.
  • Develop digital control loops including voltage and current mode control, state-space controllers, and protection algorithms for bi-directional power flow management.
  • Implement PWM modulation schemes, soft-switching control (ZVS / ZCS), and interleaving strategies for parallel converter operation at 10-100kHz switching frequencies.
  • Design grid synchronization and power management algorithms for utility-connected systems, including phase-locked loops, active / reactive power control, and fault ride-through functionality.
  • Validate control algorithms through simulation (MATLAB / Simulink, PLECS) and Hardware-in-the-Loop testing, then implement on embedded platforms (TI C2000, FPGA, DSP).
  • Lead controls integration and compliance testing to utility interconnection standards (IEEE 1547, UL 1741) and take products through certification and production ramp.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience designing control systems for power electronics including DC-DC converters, active rectifiers, or grid-tied systems.
  • Expert-level proficiency in C / C++ embedded programming for real-time control on microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs with interrupt-driven architectures.
  • Strong foundation in digital control theory including compensator design, loop stability analysis (Bode, Nyquist), and small-signal modeling of power converters.
  • Proven track record with simulation tools (MATLAB / Simulink, PLECS, SPICE), scripting (Python), and Hardware-in-the-Loop platforms for controls validation.
  • Deep understanding of PWM techniques, gate driver control for SiC / GaN devices, current sensing, and protection algorithm implementation.
  • Experience shipping power electronics products from prototype through compliance certification, with hands-on board bring-up and troubleshooting skills.
  • If you are interested in learning more about this role, please submit your resume for immediate consideration!
