Team Overview

Electrical engineering is the beating heart of SOE's technical capability, with power electronics as our newest specialization in that discipline. Power electronics is currently part of the Special Projects team, where we incubate new technical competencies by tackling the programs with the highest degree of novelty, uncertainty, and learning.

Special Projects is designed to be antidisciplinary, including systems engineering, power electronics, firmware, mechanical engineering, and physics. We jump in on the misfit projects and the "what's possible?" questions. We study and explain the gaps between the first-principles physics, the commercial solutions, and the state-of-the-art research. We move quickly by making assumptions, and focus our efforts by understanding where those assumptions break down. We are voracious learners, and learn with the goal of empowering the rest of the team to solve the problem - not just ourselves.
