Power Electronics Controls Engineer

Direct Hire opportunity for a Power Electronics Controls Engineer to join an Advanced Engineering group to help architect the next generation of data center infrastructure.

You will lead the design of cutting-edge HVDC and LVDC systems while pioneering thermal and magnetic solutions that enable reliable, large-scale GPU operations.

Location :

• San Francisco, CA Salary : $200,000-$300,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications Benefits : Retirement or pension plan, Health, dental, and vision, and PTO Relocation assistance provided for the right candidate Responsibilities Design and implement control algorithms for high-power DC-DC converters and active front-end systems in HVDC / LVDC architectures serving multi-gigawatt GPU computing loads.
• Develop digital control loops including voltage and current mode control, state-space controllers, and protection algorithms for bi-directional power flow management.
• Implement PWM modulation schemes, soft-switching control (ZVS / ZCS), and interleaving strategies for parallel converter operation at 10-100kHz switching frequencies.
• Design grid synchronization and power management algorithms for utility-connected systems, including phase-locked loops, active / reactive power control, and fault ride-through functionality.
• Validate control algorithms through simulation (MATLAB / Simulink, PLECS) and Hardware-in-the-Loop testing, then implement on embedded platforms (TI C2000, FPGA, DSP).
• Lead controls integration and compliance testing to utility interconnection standards (IEEE 1547, UL 1741) and take products through certification and production ramp.
• Qualifications 7+ years of hands-on experience designing control systems for power electronics including DC-DC converters, active rectifiers, or grid-tied systems.
• Expert-level proficiency in C / C++ embedded programming for real-time control on microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs with interrupt-driven architectures.
• Strong foundation in digital control theory including compensator design, loop stability analysis (Bode, Nyquist), and small-signal modeling of power converters.
• Proven track record with simulation tools (MATLAB / Simulink, PLECS, SPICE), scripting (Python), and Hardware-in-the-Loop platforms for controls validation.
• Deep understanding of PWM techniques, gate driver control for SiC / GaN devices, current sensing, and protection algorithm implementation.
• Experience shipping power electronics products from prototype through compliance certification, with hands-on board bring-up and troubleshooting skills.
