Electrical Engineer

Team: Electrical and Control Systems Engineering

Location: Kearny, NJ

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: onsite

Key Responsibility Areas:

• Design, construct, and operate power supplies and control systems for high-temperature superconducting magnets and plasma heating systems (ECRH).
• Specify, design, develop, fabricate, and commission bespoke electronic systems, encompassing low-signal analog and digital equipment, capable of operating in high-stress industrial environments including high magnetic field, vacuum, and cryogenic temperatures.
• Provide comprehensive specifications and facilitate the procurement of commercial off-the-shelf electronic products.
• Actively engage in discussions to define requirements for the systems to be designed.
• Provide full-cycle project support, from design to operation, including prototyping and testing of samples.
• Collaborate and communicate effectively with engineering, physics/science, project management, and procurement groups.
• Generate and revise work packages, including electrical drawings and technical specifications.
• Manage critical procurement contracts and coordinate with vendors for electrical system design, procurement, and commissioning.
• Select and implement industry standards (IEEE, ANSI, IEC, etc.) for use in prototyping projects and the future fusion power plant ecosystem.
• Maintain a detailed project schedule, oversee the delivery of externally furnished documentation and equipment, and coordinate subcontractors.
 

Ideal Experience & Skillsets:

MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields.
5+ years of experience in the design and implementation of electrical and electronic systems in an industrial and/or scientific environment.
Technical proficiency in multiple areas of electrical engineering, including a subset of the following: power conversion, medium voltage distribution, switchgears, protective relaying, low voltage process-industrial facility design, instrumentation, and control.
Experience using PCB design software (Altium).
Experience using CAD software (AutoCad, Solidworks).
Experience in designing front-end analog electronics (differential amplifiers, trans-impedance amplifiers, precise and fast voltage comparators).
Experience in the design and implementation of power electronics components: PWM converters (GaN/SiC/MOSFETs/IGBTs.), DCL-capacitors, high-frequency transformers, and inductors.
Experience using simulation software (PSpice, PLECS, MATLAB, Simulink).
Nice to have experience with designing DSP- and MCU-based embedded control systems.
Experience in the integration of software and hardware in a high voltage, high current environment would be beneficial.
Experience in pulsed power systems; electrical and mechanical transient analysis and/or design implications in complex power systems.
Demonstrated ability to manage system installation within a complex project. Ability to interface with contractors, vendors, and designers.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, ability to conduct design reviews, and organize/present material to both expert and non-technical audiences.
Ability to take initiative, work independently, and as part of a team.
Comfortable working to aggressive deadlines
