Accelevation LLC is a company that designs, manufactures, and installs the infrastructure powering advanced technologies. They are seeking an experienced Power Electronics Engineer to design and develop high-performance switching and control systems, focusing on hardware and firmware development for reliable industrial power applications.

Manufacturing

Responsibilities

Design and implement advanced control logic for AC and DC switching systems using SCRs, relays, or solid-state switches
Develop real-time algorithms for fault detection, transfer control, and voltage synchronization
Interface with sensors for voltage and current measurement, and integrate analog front-end circuits for signal acquisition
Program and optimize control firmware on microcontrollers and DSPs (e.g., TI C2000, dsPIC, ARM Cortex-M/R)
Design gate driver circuits and protection features for high-power SCR and IGBT applications
Ensure safe operation through phase detection, zero-crossing timing, and inrush current management
Implement communication protocols including RS-485, CAN FD, UART, and Ethernet (UDP/TCP/IP)
Perform system debugging, timing analysis, and integration testing with scopes, analyzers, and simulation tools
Simulate control loops, power stages, and switching behavior using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice, PSIM, or PLECS
Design and review high-frequency schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts with attention to parasitics, grounding, EMI/EMC, and thermal management
