Develops global certification strategies for CE, UL, and UKCA while tracking evolving standards and resolving test failures.

Own the complete thermal system for medium-voltage solid-state power conversion products, from architecture and modeling through CAD, CFD, prototyping, validation, manufacturing, and production. Lead concept selection, thermal routing, DFM/DFA, testing, troubleshooting, and technical direction for junior engineers. Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, quality, supplier, and factory teams to solve novel thermal engineering challenges.

Leads reliability engineering from R&D through mass production for power conversion systems. Defines reliability strategy, builds and mentors teams, establishes a reliability laboratory, develops test protocols, conducts DFMEA and fault-tree analysis, leads failure investigations and corrective actions, and integrates reliability feedback across design, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and service. The role is onsite in the San Francisco Bay Area or Reno and requires up to 20% travel to suppliers and customers.

Develop real-time embedded firmware for power conversion and energy-control systems. Collaborate on software architecture and system integration, validate code in hardware labs, and build automation for testing, deployment, and continuous integration. Interns may also contribute to edge-computing software for observability, diagnostics, data orchestration, and analytics. The role is onsite five days per week in San Francisco or Reno and may require travel.

Leads and builds the product compliance department for solid-state transformer platforms.
