Design, implement, and own firmware features for power-electronics embedded systems. Integrate firmware with hardware, collaborate with cross-functional engineers, ensure performance and testing, and stay current with embedded systems tools and methodologies.

Own end-to-end sourcing and procurement strategy for high-value capital equipment and facility buildouts. Develop multi-year Capex roadmaps, negotiate supplier contracts, perform TCO modeling, manage construction and equipment deployment (FAT/SAT), mitigate supply risks, and track KPIs for capital spend, delivery, and supplier performance while coordinating with finance, engineering, and operations.

Design and develop low-voltage and mixed-signal hardware for Solid-State Transformer subsystems, owning PCBAs from schematic through production. Responsibilities include MCU and IC selection, control/sensing/protection circuitry, isolated interfaces, high-bandwidth communications, board bring-up, EMI/EMC compliance, and collaboration with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams.

Develop scalable Go-based test automation for high-voltage power electronics and manufacturing lines. Drive end-to-end test software from design to deployment, collaborate with hardware and firmware teams, perform system bring-up and debugging, and travel to facilities for deployments and validation.

Lead control architecture for AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion systems, ensuring performance from concept through production. Mentor engineers and drive system performance analysis, validation, and implementation.

The Firmware Manager will lead the embedded software team, focusing on firmware development for power systems, managing projects and engineers, and ensuring high-quality execution across multiple product lines.

The Reliability Engineer will drive reliability for Solid-State Transformers, conduct test plans, analyze data, document risks, and support hardware deployment.

Lead cross-functional manufacturing programs from concept to full production, owning scope, schedule, risk, and quality. Coordinate process development, pilot builds, tooling, validation, supplier readiness, and production ramp. Partner with engineering, supply chain, quality, and operations to define requirements, resolve failures, and drive cost and yield improvements. Communicate status to leadership and improve manufacturing program processes and tools.

Lead a team that designs, builds, validates, and operates manufacturing test systems and product validation for high-voltage power electronics (Solid State Transformer). Own test strategy, lab uptime, safety, calibration, capacity planning, and cross-functional collaboration to scale prototype through volume production and improve test automation, coverage, and reliability.

Support AWS cloud deployments and day-to-day operations using Terragrunt/Terraform, manage CI/CD (GitHub Actions), artifact storage (S3/ECR), monitor with CloudWatch/Datadog, troubleshoot services, maintain runbooks, participate in on-call incident response, and automate infrastructure tasks.

Assemble mechanical and electromechanical subassemblies and final solid-state transformer units following work instructions and engineering drawings. Execute production schedules, maintain quality control, follow EHS and PPE requirements, handle materials, prepare units for shipment, complete production documentation, support quality investigations, and keep a clean 5S work area.

Design and lead embedded firmware for real-time power regulation, protection, and control in SST systems. Own bootloader, security, and platform integration, collaborate with hardware teams, and ensure performance, testing, and project delivery.
