Senior HV Bus Systems Engineer

What you’ll do:

• Prepare and facilitate insulation coordination across the product
• Design and develop the HV bus system to meet safety and functional requirements
• Create and manage budgets for leakage resistance, Y-capacitance, and X-capacitance
• Create and drive safety standards for all HV bus system modules
• Start to finish ownership - from specification to design, and validation:
• System evaluation of resonance points as a function of modules and system tolerances
• Specifying the HV bus system’s steady state and transient voltages resulting from pre-charge, discharge, module, and other normal operations
• Evaluation of HV bus disturbances resulting from thermal and pyro fuse events and system or module failures
• Testing of the HV system, verifying compliance with the system specifications in all operational modes
• Provide design guidance from conception into production while working with a multidisciplinary team to understand module performance and sources of HV bus disturbances
• Verifying that modules meet budget allocations and develop solutions to bring the system into compliance with requirements

What you need:

• BS Degree in Electrical Engineering with 3+ years or MS with 1+ years of experience in related fields
• Sound knowledge and hands-on experience in HV bus architecture covering safety and functional requirements
• Familiarity with battery, power electronics, thermal / pyro fuses, and typical transient loads and exposures anticipated for aerospace systems
• Experience in performing modeling of system dynamics in circuit simulation tools (spice, Matlab/Simulink, etc.)
• Master of all types of lab instruments: oscilloscope, network analyzers, HV power supplies, etc.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills

Bonus Qualifications: 

• Hands on experience with automotive and aerospace HV bus systems
• Ph. D. in electrical engineering
• Passion for aviation and eVTOLs
