If that's you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.

Join the power movement as a Senior Power Electronics Engineer

Join the Pulsed Electrical Distribution System (PEDS) team at CFS as we begin development on the next-generation power supplies that will power ARC, the first grid-scale commercial fusion power plant. In 2027 our power supplies will supply SPARC with over 1GW of pulsed power. Develop a fusion engineering skillset and learn from SPARC as we demonstrate Q>1. Apply your power electronic experience to develop and qualify next-generation power supplies for ARC and beyond. We need a skilled power electronic engineer to lead our team.

What you'll do

• Architect and design the next generation of high power (>10MVA) medium voltage power supplies for ARC tokamaks utilizing latest Si and SiC semiconductor devices
• Collaborate with power semiconductor device manufacturers to develop and qualify new devices for fusion focused applications
• Model and simulate power electronic circuits and components to evaluate and characterize converter performance, efficiency, stability, etc.
• Build, test, and validate prototype 4Q power modules (H-bridge, DC link, passives, thermal management, etc.) for use within ARC tokamak power supplies
• Turn qualified prototype designs into productized solutions for ARC power supplies
• Develop technical requirements, specifications and qualification plans for corresponding power circuit components (capacitors, magnetics, passives, etc.)
• Support cross-functional team technical developments such as power distribution, energy storage, RF and other systems delivering electrical power for fusion applications
• Document designs, simulations and test results into engineering reports

What we're looking for

• 8+ years of related experience with Bachelor's degree (or) a Master's degree with 6+ years of experience with power electronics based systems
• Hands on product development experience for power electronic converter systems
• Knowledge of various inverter circuit topologies and the benefits and limitations
• Experience with modeling & simulation with analysis tools such as PLECS, PSPICE, MATLAB etc.
• Extensive experience with semiconductor devices (IGBT, MOSFET, etc.) and magnetic components (transformers, inductors etc.)
• Fundamental understanding of gate drive circuits, design and device protection
• Experience with packaging design of power conversion equipment and thermal management
• Experience with high power electrical equipment >10MVA
• Experience with hands on testing of electrical components, sub-assemblies and systems in the laboratory and use of oscilloscopes and other measurement equipment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, ability to conduct design reviews, organize and present results to both expert and non-technical audiences

Bonus points for

• Master's degree in electrical engineering with a focus on Power Electronics
• Experience with application of compliance standards to the designs (IEC, UL, CSA, NEC etc.)
• Experience in problem solving, root cause analysis and field containment actions
• Experience with hands on prototype build, prototype testing and documentation of results is a plus
• Intelligent gate drive circuit design is a bonus

Must-have Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 50lbs
• Perform activities such as standing, typing or sitting for extended periods of time
• Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
• Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
