About Redwood Materials
Mechanical Engineer Power Electronics New Product
Essential Duties:
You will be an early member of a product design team responsible for the detailed mechanical design of a cost effective highly manufacturable and technologically leadingedge power converter. Collaborating closely with your electrical colleagues you will design the core thermal interfaces electrical insulators cooling systems magnetics assemblies and overall product assembly concept for the core powerconversion circuitry.
Responsibilities include:
You are familiar with the unique constraints that high voltage highpower assemblies place on their mechanical components and understand the fundamentals of electrical insulation (not just the insulation standards). You can clearly articulate the different failure mechanisms that drive creepage and clearance. Youll be designing electrically insulating but thermally conductive heat transfer systems and figuring out how to make them affordable and robust to thermal and electrical cycling. Simple robust and manufacturable designs make you smile and you understand the physics of inductance and capacitance well enough to partner with your electricalengineering colleagues to make a great product.
The ideal candidate is highly selfdriven adaptable to a startup environment and eager to take on technical challenges. Youre a doer excited about working in a dynamic fastpaced setting and want to shape the electrical engineering function within a new department at Redwood.
If necessary we will adjust the job level to suit your experience and responsibilities.
Desired Qualifications:
- BS MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus in power electronics
- 7 years of experience in electrical engineering with a strong focus in power conversion or energy storage products ideally for mass production.
- Experience in highvoltage (up to 2000VDC and 480VAC) design.
- Proven track record as a electrical engineer with handson design prototyping and launch experience in mediumtohigh volume production 10000 units/yr or higher).
- Able to perform detailed schematic capture in Altium or related CAD software.
- Able to supervise (and occasionally perform) detailed layout of highpower electronics PCBs in Altium or related CAD software.
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to perform the essential job functions consistent safely and successfully with the ADA FMLA and other federal state and local standards including meeting qualitative and/or quantitative productivity standards.
- Ability to maintain regular punctual attendance consistent with the ADA FMLA and other federal state and local standards
Working Conditions:
- Environment such as office or outdoors.
- Ability to work in challenging working conditions which may include exposure to noise dust chemicals and temperature extremes while protected by PPE for extended periods of time.
- Essential physical requirements such as climbing standing stooping or typing.
- Occasional work weekends nights or be oncall as a regular part of the job.
- Occasional travel requirements.
The position is fulltime. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
