Redwood City, United States Tau Motors Full time

Tau is a venture-backed advanced technology company based in the Bay Area (Redwood City, CA). We design and develop next-generation products for electrification. The company was started because we believe the key to a more sustainable future requires modern power conversion systems to increase the security of the world’s energy. We have pioneered technologies that leverage software-enabled hardware to provide industry-leading scale, economics, and efficiencies. Our systems include innovations across electric machines, inverters, controllers, thermal management, simulation, and charging systems.

Tau's team of engineers, scientists, technologists, operators, and industry leaders continue to advance our internal technology roadmap while collaborating with commercial partners to deploy our existing products to market in the relentless pursuit of creating efficient power conversion systems for a more sustainable future.

At our core, Tau is made of exceptionally talented and mission-aligned people. Developing complex electromechanical systems is an interdisciplinary challenge. We are looking to expand our team with diverse engineering, scientific, and operational expertise.

Tau is an equal opportunity employer that guarantees a work environment that respects and values diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

About you

We are looking for people who aren't afraid to take on new challenges, and are as passionate about energy and electrification as we are:

  • You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them.
  • You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting design, but in the end you know that what matters is delivering innovative, effective, and reliable solutions.
  • You are a cross disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with, learn from, and contribute to technology teams ranging from electromagnetics, power electronics, controls systems, mechanical, materials, software, computational physics, and beyond.

About the Role

We are looking for several Staff Power Electronics Engineers to join our growing team to advance our internal technology roadmap and translate our innovative products to market with our commercial partners.  As a member of the power electronics team, you will model, design, implement, test, and benchmark the power electronics of current and future Tau motor drives - including both high and low-voltage applications.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build hardware of power electronics converters for use in automotive and energy storage applications
  • Start to finish ownership of hardware – from specification to design, prototype, reliability validation, and high-volume manufacturing
  • Collaborate with - and lead - mechanical, PCB layout, and firmware engineering teams to successfully design, validate, and manufacture power converters
  • Architecture and modeling of new power converter topologies that achieve better performance
  • Advance Tau's intellectual property in power electronic systems

What You’ll Bring

  • 8-12 years relevant industry experience
  • Automotive experience, or the equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability.
  • Familiarity with AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC applications and control of variable frequency converters
  • Strong understanding of power electronics topologies
  • Experience with high voltage power semiconductor selection (Si/SiC/GaN MOSFETs, Diodes), gate drive, and protection circuit design
  • Strong understanding of switching waveforms, semiconductor losses, and experience with loss modeling
  • System understanding of device characteristics, gate driving circuit design, thermal design, topologies, modulation schemes, and control strategies in high- and low-voltage power converters
  • Familiar with tools such as PLECS, PSCAD/EMTDC, MATLAB/Simulink, dSPACE
  • Experience with advanced modulation approaches for achieving highly efficient power electronic converter designs
  • Experience designing large state machines for complex power converter implementations
  • Familiar with analog design, digital design, mixed-signal design (ADCs/DACs), and their use in control design
  • Solid understanding of the theory and application of magnetics (inductors, transformers) and capacitors (electrolytic, film, and ceramic) used for power conversion
  • Good experience with designing analog/digital circuits and microprocessors
  • Familiar with schematic capture and power converter circuit simulation tools
  • Experience in supervision of PCB layout for minimal stray inductance and capacitance, placement strategies for better manufacturability, power/signal plane definition, and EMC optimization
  • Proficiency with hands-on EE tools (oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators, etc)

Desired Skills

  • Masters or PhD degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechatronic engineering, or equivalent degree with a focus on power electronics 
  • Awareness of UL and CE electrical safety requirements and EMC requirements relevant to the design of power converters
  • Knowledge of environmental, reliability, and safety requirements for Automotive, Industrial, & Residential applications
  • Proven ability to design systems that are resilient to faults and error
