- Support certification by making sure the integrated system meets UL and IEEE requirements.
What You'll Bring
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 5+ years of hardware development, with heavy system integration work.
- Strong fundamentals: circuit analysis, analog and digital electronics, and high-voltage design.
- Power electronics: DC-DC and DC-AC converters, inverters, and grid-tie systems.
- Hands-on C/C++ or Python and protocols like CAN or Modbus.
- Comfort with test equipment and lab debugging.
Preferred Skills
- Li-ion or LFP battery systems: BMS design, charging, and safety systems.
- PCB design in Altium or KiCad, and simulation in LTspice or MATLAB/Simulink.
- UL 1741, IEEE 1547, and the NEC.
- Residential energy, solar, or smart home integration.
- Product certification and regulatory approvals.

About the Team
