About the Role

We are seeking an experienced
Hardware Analysis Engineer
who has
direct, hands-on experience
with power electronics equipment—not just academic exposure. This role requires someone who can independently diagnose, test, and resolve complex hardware issues in a high-power environment.

This is not an R&D design-only role, nor a purely theoretical analysis role. It demands practical repair experience, hardware ownership, and comfort working with high-power systems in a lab environment.

Pre-Screening Note (Read Before Applying)

To be considered for this role, applicants must meet
all
of the following minimum requirements:

Hands-on experience
working directly with power electronics (inverters, converters, high-voltage or high-current systems)

Ability to troubleshoot down to
component level
using oscilloscopes, meters, and diagnostic tools

Demonstrated experience in
hardware failure analysis
(not software, not PCB layout-only, not solely test engineering)

Authorization to work in the United States
without sponsorship now or in the future

Candidates lacking these specific experiences will not move forward in the hiring process.
