- Lead architecture and detailed design of digital power conversion including DC/DC stages gate drives protection circuits sensing chains and control electronics with emphasis on highvoltage and highpower aerospace applications.
- Plan and execute verification and validation of digital power conversion hardware and systems including procedure authorship lab setup and execution of environmental functional and performance tests (e.g. DO160/MIL-STD-461/MIL-STD-704type conditions thermal vibration electrical stress).
- Define and validate insulation coordination and HV design rules including creepage/clearance and highvoltage practices for converters and drive systems operating at several kilovolts to meet aerospace safety and reliability expectations.
- Design and Review PCBs and schematics for power stages gate drivers control boards and sensing modules using industrystandard tools (e.g. Mentor Graphics Altium) collaborating with layout mechanical and systems teams to ensure robust manufacturable designs.
- Lead highvoltage testing and qualification activities including partial discharge (corona) tests and insulation tests at altitude and ground level using results to drive design improvements and ensure longterm reliability.
- Work with AI&T to develop and improve automated test benches and lab infrastructure for digital power testing including scripting and automation where appropriate and act as a champion for lab safety structured test procedures and safe operation at high voltage and high power.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to early career engineers and peers in power converter design HV test and system integration fostering a culture of continuous improvement structured problem solving and respect for people
- Contribute to proposals trade studies and technology roadmaps for TMS control systems digital power systems including evaluation of new topologies devices and architectures.
Required Minimum Qualifications:
- Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering or related discipline with emphasis in power electronics power conversion or electric drives.
- Significant experience (e.g. 15 years) in electrical engineering and electrical systems engineering with focus on power electronics digital power conversion and/or electric drive systems and controls hardware for aerospace or similarly demanding applications.
- Proven experience leading the design verification and validation of power conversion hardware (DC/DC AC/DC DC/AC) and associated control electronics.
- Experience with highvoltage systems insulation coordination and HV testing and qualification activities.
- Demonstrated ability to work across crossfunctional technical teams and manage technical scope schedule and risk.
Desired Characteristics& Experience:
- Strong background in electrical systems engineering requirements decomposition and PCB/schematic design for power and control boards (gate drivers sensors DSP/control boards HVDC filters EMI filters) including DO160/MIL-STD-461/MIL-STD-704aware design practices and integration with systemlevel requirements.
- Demonstrated technical leadership in complex aerospace programs and coordination of crossfunctional teams with clear alignment to GE Aerospace Behaviors (Respect for People Continuous Improvement Customer Driven).
- Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools for power electronics (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink LTSpice PSIM PSCAD) and experience using them to guide design and test.
- Proficient use of IBM DOORS and familiarity with MBSE tools
- Familiarity with JIRA and Confluence
- Experience designing and validating highvoltage highpower conversion systems (e.g. up to several kilovolts) for aerospace including insulation coordination and partial discharge considerations.
- Handson HV lab experience including oscilloscopes power analyzers HV test setups and automated test benches with a demonstrated commitment to lab safety and structured test procedures.
