The posting

About Methode Electronics

We are a leading global provider of innovative automotive and industrial electronic products, including center stacks, switch banks, sensors, high-voltage busbars, Battery Disconnect Units (BDU), Integrated Circuit Boards (ICB), park brake actuators, ambient lights, and Center High-Mount Stop Lights (CHMSL). Our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability positions us at the forefront of the industry, delivering high-performance power distribution solutions to customers worldwide.

We are looking for a skilled High Voltage Systems Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will be at the forefront of designing, developing, and testing advanced, safe, and efficient high-voltage architectures—with a specific focus on next-generation 800V powertrain components, DC-DC converters, and advanced planar magnetics. If you have a passion for solving complex power electronics challenges, ensuring top-tier safety standards, and transforming cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) concepts into reality, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

  • 800V Converter Design: Architect, design, and optimize high-efficiency 800V DC-DC converters, onboard chargers, and traction inverters utilizing wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC/GaN).
  • Planar Magnetics Integration: Design and optimize high-frequency planar transformers and inductors to maximize power density and minimize parasitic parameters (leakage inductance and interwinding capacitance).
  • Integrate Power Boards: Connect, configure, and optimize multiple high-power distribution boards, multi-layer PCBs, and control circuits within the overall vehicle powertrain or grid system.
  • Manage Thermal Solutions: Perform thermal analysis and design active cooling solutions—including liquid-glycol loops, phase-change materials, and advanced thermal interface materials—to manage high heat fluxes in compact planar magnetics and power modules.
  • System Simulation & Analysis: Conduct detailed systems analysis, including circuit-level simulations, stress modeling, and electromagnetic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for magnetic flux optimization.
  • Hardware Validation: Lead the physical testing of high-voltage batteries, inverters, converters, and cabling harnesses using specialized laboratory equipment under high-power conditions.
  • Lead Teams: Guide, mentor, and align cross-functional technical teams (software, mechanical, layout) to execute complex engineering projects from concept to production.
  • Ensure Functional Safety: Follow strict automotive and industrial safety standards, implementing isolation monitoring, interlocks, and creepage/clearance requirements to mitigate hazard risks.
  • Solve Hardware Issues: Root-cause complex power flow instabilities, EMI/EMC issues (such as dV/dt noise coupling), AC copper losses (skin and proximity effects), or physical component breakdowns discovered during the validation phase.

Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Power Electronics, or a closely related technical field.
  • Experience: 5 + years of hands-on experience developing high-voltage systems, specifically dealing with architectures exceeding 60V (ideally 400V to 800V+ systems).
  • Power Electronics & Magnetics Expertise: Proven experience with switching topologies, gate driver optimization, and magnetic component design—including deep knowledge of planar transformer construction, multi-layer PCB winding layouts, and ferrite/nanocrystalline core selection.
  • Thermal Management: Hands-on experience implementing liquid cooling, forced air systems, or phase-change cooling for high-power-density electronics.
  • Hardware & Layout Standards: Deep familiarity with IPC-2221, IPC-9592, and relevant automotive safety compliance frameworks (such as ISO 26262 or ASIL ratings).
  • Tools & Simulation: Proficiency with simulation software (MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSpice, or magnetic simulation tools like ANSYS Maxwell) and high-power lab tools (high-voltage power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, and power analyzers).
  • Leadership: Strong communication skills with a track record of managing technical project timelines and guiding junior engineers.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
