Electronic Design Engineer (Power Electronics)

Location: Onsite in San Bruno, California, United States; requires approximately 10% domestic and international travel, occasional extended and weekend hours, extended periods standing in a shop setting, and the ability to lift and carry 50 lbs.

Salary: $130,000–$180,000 annually, plus early-stage equity and company-sponsored benefits.

Company

hirify.global designs and manufactures power products for the U.S. military and its allies, including systems that decouple power generation from consumption in austere environments.

What you will do

• Conceptualize, design, and develop schematics, layouts, and circuits for low- and high-voltage power electronics and advanced energy storage systems.
• Optimize circuit dynamics, power efficiency, latency, electrical safety, system protection, and abuse-loading performance.
• Run circuit simulations, bench tests, and system-level validation against military and industry standards.
• Integrate electronics with mechanical, thermal, software, and systems engineering, including electrical I/O and firmware behavior.
• Apply reliability engineering practices such as EMI/EMC mitigation, ruggedization, and thermal management.
• Produce technical reports and test plans and support products from concept through field deployment and sustainment.

Requirements

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 3+ years of end-to-end circuit design, component selection, electrical architecture trade-offs, functional safety, embedded systems troubleshooting, and electronics testing.
• Experience with CAD tools, preferably Altium, and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, or SPICE.
• Hands-on competence with oscilloscopes, programmable power supplies, analyzers, debuggers, probes, current clamps, test automation, reflow, soldering, and connector integration.
• Fluency with CAN bus protocols, preferably J1939 or CANopen, and familiarity with MIL-STD, DO-160, automotive, defense, or aerospace standards.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States and provide proof of authorization within the first three days of employment.

Nice to have

• Experience with low- and high-voltage energy storage, high-current power distribution, and voltage-regulating power electronics.
• Experience with LTspice, COMSOL, oscillations, ringing, ground bounce, and other complex circuit dynamics.
• Experience designing switches, bridges, noise filters, power stabilizers, discharge systems, and electrical-grid endpoint nodes.
• Experience with radiated emissions, RF immunity, broadband amplifiers, antennas, and near-field probes.
• Experience with high-reliability embedded power electronics in austere environments and familiarity with U.S. and NATO operational requirements, especially the Tactical Microgrid Standard.

Culture & Benefits

• Work across multidisciplinary engineering and design teams on mission-critical defense power systems.
• Use first-principles, data-driven problem solving to identify root causes and prevent recurring failures.
• Support peer collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a robust team culture.
• Access early-stage equity and company-sponsored benefit plans.
