Job description
High Voltage Electrical Engineer
Position Overview
We are seeking a High Voltage Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and validate high-voltage power systems and mixed-signal electronics for industrial and manufacturing applications. The role focuses on end-to-end hardware development including schematic capture, PCB design in Altium, high-voltage bring-up and testing at high kV levels, and delivering manufacturable designs with strong DFX practices. The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced startup environment and collaborate across R&D, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to move prototypes into reliable production.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead design and development of high-voltage power electronics and mixed-signal systems, including high-voltage isolation, insulation coordination, and safety design for kV-class systems.
- Create and review schematics and PCB layouts using Altium, ensuring signal integrity, creepage/clearance, and manufacturability.
- Perform hands-on prototype bring-up, debugging, and validation of high-voltage hardware in the lab; define and execute test plans and failure analysis.
- Develop and maintain detailed design documentation, BOMs, and test procedures to support production handoff and regulatory reviews.
- Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust system integration and successful production ramps.
- Apply DFX principles to optimize designs for assembly, test, cost, and reliability in industrial manufacturing environments.
- Design and review safety systems, protection circuitry, and compliance evidence to meet applicable standards and industry best practices.
- Build and maintain test fixtures, high-voltage measurement setups, and automated test routines for repeatable validation.
- Troubleshoot field issues and support customer-facing commissioning or diagnostics when required.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to continuous improvement of design processes in a startup setting.
Qualifications
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 5+ years of professional experience in high-voltage power electronics design, development, or testing involving kV-level systems.
- Proven experience with PCB schematic capture and layout in Altium, with a portfolio of designs demonstrating mixed-signal and high-voltage considerations.
- Strong understanding of mixed-signal electronics, high-voltage insulation, creepage/clearance, and isolation techniques.
- Hands-on experience with prototype bring-up, lab testing, high-voltage probes, oscilloscopes, and failure analysis methodologies.
- Familiarity with DFX practices, industrial manufacturing processes, and for testability/assembly considerations.
- Knowledge of relevant safety standards, regulatory requirements, and best practices for high-voltage equipment.
- Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills. Startup experience and the ability to work in fast-paced, iterative development cycles preferred.
Benefits
- Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
- 401K with match
- Equity
- PTO
