Salary: $85k - $110k

Magna-Power Electronics, a Flemington, New Jersey based electronics manufacturer, is seeking a to join its dedicated world class team. With continued growth and recipient of the 2020 NJ Top Workplace, 2021 Great Places to Work, and 2022 Hunterdon County Business of the Year awards, Magna-Power competes in a worldwide marketplace and addresses a broad range of applications, including: electric vehicle powertrain development and manufacturing, particle accelerators, semiconductor fabrication, cutting-edge energy research, national defense, among many others.

In the role of Power Electronics Embedded Systems Engineering, you will be an important part of Magna-Power's R&D team, creating the controls and integrating them with power electronics for multi-kilowatt programmable DC power supplies. Youll model advanced control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink, translate them into ultra-reliable C firmware on TI C2000 MCUs, and validate everything on custom PCBs you help design and debug. From concept through production, youll collaborate closely with power-electronics, test, and manufacturing teams to deliver the next generation of high-performance power solutions.Given the complex nature of the products, there will be significant hands-on training and interaction with various Magna-Power teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Building and refining closed-loop control models in MATLAB/Simulink and auto-generation of production-ready C code.
• Tuning digital compensators (PI/PID, state-space, predictive) for high-bandwidth control
• Writing, optimize, and document bare-metal C for TI C2000 and other 32-bit MCUs.
• Developing low-level drivers (ADC, PWM, timers, SPI, IC, UART, RS-485, CAN, Ethernet) with deterministic execution and interrupt-safe design.
• Implementing high-resolution PWM strategies for hard-switched.
• Interfacing firmware with gate-driver, current-sense, voltage-sense, and isolation circuitry
• Characterizing converter efficiency, thermal performance, and dynamic response; iterate based on oscilloscope/logic-analyzer captures.
• Designing 2- to 4-layer PCBs in Altium for mixed-signal and high-voltage layouts
• Bring-up and debug prototypes with oscilloscopes, isolated differential probes, power analyzers, and high-bandwidth current probes.
• Authoring automated Python/LabVIEW scripts for regression tests and production programming.
• Generating detailed electrical specs, BOMs, and test plans; contribute to UL/IEC/CE compliance documentation and patent filings.
• Leading design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and interface with suppliers and contract manufacturers to resolve DFM/DFA issues.
• Supporting field-failure analysis and sustainment engineering for products in volume production.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Power Electronics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field, Master's degree a plus.
• Three to five years experience in Power Electronics Engineering
• Circuit modeling and simulation experience (MATLAB, Simulink, Python) preferred
• Experience with Texas Instrument microcontrollers, C2000 preferred
• Experience with hardware design and schematic capture tools
• Experience working with real-time operating systems
• Experiencing working with communication protocols such as UART, SPI, and I2C
• Exposure to Python programming
• Exposure to laboratory communications (SCPI, Labview, etc.)
• Familiarity with modern test equipment
• Experience with software development processes (GIT, issues tracking, etc.)
• Excellent written and verbal skills
• Ability to work cooperatively in a team environment
• Ability to learn new skills independently and assume new responsibilities

In addition to competitive compensation, Magna-Power offers a comprehensive benefits package, which includes:

• Health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Supplemental insurance
• Flexible spending account (FSA)
• 401k plan with company match
• Accrued paid time off
• Paid sick-time leave
• Tuition reimbursement
