Sr. Power Electronics & Controls Engineer

If you thinkintransfer functions and Bode plots but still love the smell of a freshly stuffed prototype board keep reading. Miller Electric Mfg. LLC a leading U.S. designer and manufacturer of welding equipment is growing its Central Engineering team.We are looking for a SeniorPower Electronics & ControlsEngineer whosedeep power electronics instinctis backedbysolidcontrol theory;someone who can model a plant close a loop and then prove it on the bench.This is advanced development: you will evaluate technologies deliver proof-of-concept prototypes andbuildthe designlibraries and reference architectures that our divisions turn into the products that welders depend on.The technologies andarchitecturesyou develop will become the foundation for future Miller welding platforms used by customers around the world.

You will work elbow-to-elbow with electrical software mechanical and weld engineers and partner with division representatives to deliver what they need to delight our customers.Whether you prefer Milwaukees urban energy or the exceptional quality of life affordability and outdoor access of Wisconsins Fox Valley youll find a strong engineering community room to make an outsized impact and the freedom to spend less time commuting and more time building great technology.If building the platform behind the product is the kind of challenge that excites youletstalk. Ifyourethe sort of engineer who can turn theory into hardware and hardware into resultsyoullfit right in.Youdontneed to check every box; if your strengths are rooted in controls power conversionandbringing ideas to lifewedlove to hear from you!

How you will make an impact:

• Architect and model the control systemsthat define how the next generation of welding engines behave.

• Take new power conversion concepts from control simulation toworkingproof-of-concept prototypes that show what is possible.

• Createthe referencedesigns that help our divisions reach the market faster and with less risk.

• Prove out emerging power conversion technology and define what it takes to make it robust manufacturable and repeatable.

• Partner with division representatives to turn theircustomerneeds into the right technologybets.

• Mentoracross the engineering community and raise the bar for control and power electronics design throughout Miller.

What you need to be successful in this role:

• Power electronics command You bring hands-on mastery of multi-kW switch-mode conversion including hard-switched full-bridge topologiesSiCand other wide-bandgap devices gate drive and magnetics.

• Control theory depth You are fluent in feedback control plant modeling loop compensation and analog and digital control.Whether youcameup through controls power electronics or both you understand how to design analyze andvalidatestable high-performance systems.

• Real-world implementationYou put that theory to work implementing control laws on microcontrollers or DSPs with hands-on experience in hardware bring-up ADC and PWM peripherals and timing-critical firmware.

• A systems lens You connect control power stage thermal EMC andmanufacturabilityso the whole technology wins not just the loop.

• Bench instinct You trust hard measurements over assumptions and love proving a design in copper and silicon not just in simulation.

• Curiosity and ownership You are self-directed customer-focused eager to learn and ready to roll up your sleeves when the project calls for it.

Minimum education and experience:

• Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineeringrequired; an advanced degree witha controlsor power electronics focus is a plus.

• 5-10 years of relevant control systems and power electronics experience or 5 years for an exceptional engineer who has been a key contributor across many successful designs.

• Demonstrated experience designing and stabilizing digital control loops for switch-mode power conversion.

• Proven multi-kW switch-mode design experience includingSiCor other wide-bandgap devices full-bridge topologies gate drive and magnetics.

• A track recordof taking concepts from modeling and simulation through working hardware and measured results.

• Working knowledge of PCB layout for power and mixed-signal designs with familiarity with design-for-manufacturing and third-party standards such as UL CSA and CE.

• A self-starter with strong analytical instincts who thrives in a hands-on R&D environment.
