Senior or Principal Embedded Control Engineer – High-Power Electronics

Compensation: To $175K+

Location: North of Boston

A mid-sized, innovation-focused technology manufacturer is seeking an experienced engineer to develop embedded control firmware for multi-kilowatt power-conversion systems used in advanced industrial applications. This role sits within a forward-looking engineering group and involves close collaboration with scientists and domain specialists exploring next‑generation control architectures.

• Lead development of DSP-based digital control features for complex power‑electronics platforms within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Architect and implement communication interfaces among system-level modules.
• Perform analytical modeling and implement advanced control algorithms for power converters and RF/microwave‑driven subsystems.
• Define, document, and execute design‑verification test plans; summarize results and recommend tradeoffs to optimize control‑firmware performance.
• Create and maintain firmware documentation, configuration artifacts, and release records.
• Work closely with hardware and power‑electronics engineers to integrate controls with system components.
• Participate in cross‑functional efforts to advance new products that rely heavily on precision power delivery.

• BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Proven track record developing firmware from concept through release using DSPs and C/C++ and/or MATLAB/Simulink.
• Hands‑on experience with digital control for one or more of the following: resonant inverters, buck/boost converters, PFC topologies, or similar architectures.
• Strong understanding of common power‑electronics topologies and their associated closed‑loop digital control methods.
• Exceptional analytical skills and the ability to break down complex system behaviors.
• Proficiency with lab tools such as oscilloscopes, power meters, and related diagnostics.

• Exposure to hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) or model‑based test environments.
• Experience with version‑control workflows.
• Familiarity with GUI tools that support hardware bring‑up or test automation.
• Industry experience with complex, high‑value industrial or scientific equipment (semiconductor tools, RF systems, or comparable platforms).

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.
