Senior Staff Hardware Design Electrical Engineer
Our mission at Enphase Energy is to advance a sustainable future for all.
Today, our intelligent microinverters, which turn sunlight into an affordable, safe, reliable, and scalable source of energy, work with virtually every solar panel made, and when paired with our award-winning smart battery technology, we engineer one of the industry's best-performing clean energy systems.
To date, we have installed more than 36 million microinverters on more than 1.
5 million homes across 130 countries.
Like our customers, our innovative teams are also worldwide, making Enphase Energy a truly global company.
We are one of the fastest growing and most dynamic energy companies in the world.
Nimble and acutely focused on developing ground-breaking solar energy management technology, each of our teams have a shared goal of creating a carbon-free future.
At Enphase we are also committed to diversity and inclusion.
Developing cutting edge technology requires a workforce as diverse as the populations we wish to serve.
We are a values-driven company that puts people and their power at the center of our shared energy future.
As we continue our exciting growth, we are building teams with highly talented individual contributors and leaders who design, develop, and manufacture next generation energy technologies.
Our work environment is fast-paced, fun, and full of exciting new projects.
About the team and the role:
The Enphase System Control Innovation (SCI) team in the office of the CTO is responsible for defining, prototyping, and supporting the next generation system control solutions for Enphase products.
The team is an integrated, multi-disciplinary group that is fast-moving and looking for motivated individuals that can contribute and collaborate closely with the team to deliver innovative solutions.
As a member of the SCI team, you will solve some of the most exciting problems in the distributed energy space and help shape the direction of our products.
The Enphase SCI team is seeking a Staff Hardware Design Electrical Engineer to develop, integrate, and validate power hardware for next generation system control products and improve current designs.
Responsibilities include:
Create innovative embedded and power hardware integration designs to support next generation energy system products Specification, design, schematic capture, prototyping, and debug of complex circuits, PCBs, and electrical assemblies including high-speed digital processing and communications, sensors, relays, power protection, and power conditioning subsystems Hands-on bring up of hardware circuits, PCBs, and energy system hardware (relays, power meters, power converters, communications devices, etc.
) Apply simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and prototype testing to ensure hardware designs meet functionality and performance requirements Optimize product solutions with firmware/hardware control co-design Work with a multi-disciplinary team to test and troubleshoot new product designs Mentor junior staff Required Education and
