Position Overview:

The Senior Principal Engineer – Power Converter will be a key member of the Power Supply team, supporting current and future projects in the Power Electronics domain. This individual will serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in high-voltage power converter technologies, driving innovation and advancing solutions for Electrification and Power Distribution Systems (EPS) within aerospace applications. This role requires a strong combination of hands-on technical expertise and leadership. The candidate will make independent technical decisions, lead critical technology initiatives, and define system architectures. The position focuses on high-density aerospace power converters, planar magnetics, Model Based Development (MBD), digital control implementation on FPGA and DSP Controller and wide bandgap devices (SiC and GaN), while guiding cross-functional teams and shaping technical strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and drive the technical roadmap for power supply technologies, including high-density converters for, planar magnetics, wide bandgap devices (SiC/GaN), and embedded control systems.
• Model Based Development (MBD) based Digital control implementation from MATLAB to FPGA or DSP Controller.
• Lead the design, control, validation, and optimization of aircraft power converters (LLC resonant converters, DAB converter, High-efficiency isolated DC/DC converters)
• Define and enforce engineering standards, design guidelines, and best practices for power electronics, including EMI/EMC, safety, reliability, derating, and compliance with aviation regulations.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and oversight to engineering teams, ensuring rigorous design reviews, problem-solving, and delivery of high-quality solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, systems, firmware, and manufacturing) to optimize system performance, including thermal management, packaging, and manufacturability.
• Develop digital control and apply system modeling and simulation (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink,..) to support design, validation, and control development.
• Drive the adoption and integration of advanced technologies, including SiC/GaN devices and planar magnetics, to improve efficiency, power density, and cost.
• Contribute to Battery Management Systems (BMS) and aviation-grade energy storage solutions.
• Lead hardware design reviews, system debugging, and validation under aerospace operating conditions.
• Partner with product management and business leadership to translate requirements into technical roadmaps, execution plans, and resource strategies.
• Represent the power electronics domain in executive reviews, customer engagements, and audits.
• Contribute to intellectual property development (patents, invention disclosures, publications).
• Prepare and deliver technical documentation, reports, and presentations.

Required Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (Power Electronics preferred). Exceptional Bachelor’s candidates with strong experience may be considered.
• 15+ years of industry experience in power electronics, preferably in aerospace applications.
• Technical Expertise Required in:
• Aircraft power converter digital control in Matlab,
• LLC converters, DAB converters and Electromagnetics design.,
