Power Electronics Control System Engineer

Job Title: Power Electronics Control System Engineer

Location: Fargo, ND

Job Type: Full-Time

We are seeking a Power Electronics Control System Engineer to develop and validate electrification control solutions at both component and system levels using a model-based design approach. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in control algorithm development, power electronics simulation, and system-level validation including HIL and laboratory testing.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop electrification control solutions for power electronics and electric drive systems using model-based design methodologies.
• Design, analyze, and implement control algorithms for power converters and electric motor systems.
• Perform system-level modeling and simulation using MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.
• Conduct electric drive and vehicle system simulations to support control development and performance evaluation.
• Validate control strategies through simulation, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), laboratory, and field testing.
• Support auto-code generation and embedded implementation on microcontrollers and/or FPGAs.
• Develop and refine system requirements in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Participate in system integration, debugging, and performance optimization activities.
• Document control strategies, validation results, and system performance metrics.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives in control system development processes.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
• 1+ years of experience in power electronics or control algorithm development (academic research experience considered).
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.
• Experience in simulating power electronics, electric machines, and/or control systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills in English.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering with a focus on power electronics and/or control systems.
• Hands-on laboratory or vehicle testing experience with power electronics or electric motors.
• Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
• Experience with embedded systems, auto-code generation, and microcontroller/FPGA implementation.
• Working knowledge of version control systems and Agile development methodologies.
• Experience with advanced control techniques (observers, model predictive control, filter design, etc.).
• Experience in power electronics hardware or software design.
