As a Power Hardware Engineer, you will work on complex, high‑performance electronics that sit at the core of motion systems used across global industrial applications. to join our new product development team.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Build hardware and product — taking designs from idea to production
• Work in a deeply technical and versatile environment
• Design power electronics hardware for converters, inverters and ICT technology for industrial environment.
• Grow both technically and professionally, with increasing scope, responsibility, and influence over product direction and architecture.
• Our global engineering culture values collaboration, technical thoughtfulness, and new ideas. The environment is fast‑paced and dynamic contributing to multiple products.

You will work on a team comprised of engineers across multiple disciplines (e.g., mechanical, power electronics, embedded software) to bring our product roadmaps to life.

Expand Beyond Traditional Servo Drives

While you will work on advanced servo drive hardware, its scope goes well beyond conventional motion control. You will also contribute to the evolution of Independent Cart Technology (ICT) — a growing motion technology that introduces new architectural challenges and opportunities, including:

• Demonstrated expertise in laboratory testing and experience with test equipment including oscilloscopes, data acquisition equipment, spectrum analyzers.
• Experience using modeling tools, i.e. Matlab/Simulink, Simplorer, LTSpice, and Maxwell to solve real-world problems.
• Knowledge of EMI noise reduction, thermal management, voltage and current sensing, and protection techniques.
• Exposure to EMI/EMC mitigation techniques and regulatory certification agencies such as UL & TUV.
• Exposure to test automation (for example Python), and data analysis tools.
• Exposure to AI‑enabled hardware, AI‑assisted design tools, or data‑driven engineering workflows.
• Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering focused in power electronics, electric machines, or control systems.

What We Offer

• Health Insurance including Medical, Dental and Vision
