Job Description:

This position is not a remote position and does require mostly in-person participation About Aimbridge Energy Aimbridge Energy is redefining how the commercial world is powered. We build next-generation DC microgrids and intelligent energy management systems that help businesses cut costs, stay resilient, and accelerate their transition to a clean-energy future. Our technology integrates solar, battery storage, EV charging, and advanced controls into one unified platform, giving customers energy independence and a smarter way to operate. We’re not just another energy company or just a solar company. We’re a fast-moving, mission-driven team working to transform outdated power infrastructure in the new electrification of everything era. Every project we deliver reduces carbon emissions, strengthens local energy resilience, and brings the future of power one step closer. At Aimbridge, you’ll be part of a growing organization where innovation is encouraged, ideas matter, and your work has a tangible positive impact on communities and the place we call home (our planet). If you want to be part of building something meaningful and help shape the future of clean energy this is the place. The Opportunity Step into a role where your engineering work doesn’t just meet requirements, it shapes the future of clean energy. As an Electrical Project Engineer at Aimbridge Energy, you’ll design and build power electronics, DC microgrid systems, and intelligent energy platforms that help businesses operate more efficiently, sustainably, and independently. This is a full-lifecycle role: you’ll model circuits, select components, design and validate hardware, build and debug prototypes in the lab, and support products all the way into production. Your work will shape inverters, DC-DC converters, battery management systems, distribution controls, and other technologies central to the electrification era. You won’t be boxed into a narrow specialty. You’ll get to collaborate across firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and product teams, and see your ideas become real hardware. If you thrive on solving complex technical problems, working hands-on, and owning your designs from concept through certification, Aimbridge Energy is the place to make a lasting impact. At Aimbridge Energy, we value engineers who are proactive, curious, and passionate about building a cleaner, smarter energy future. If that’s you, keep reading. This could be the next big step in your career and a chance to help redefine how the world is powered. Key Responsibilities: Design and development Design, model, and simulate power electronics systems using current software tools and best practices. Examples of software tool competency and familiarity include schematic capture, PCB layout, AI tools, thermal simulation, electrical simulation, and related design and evaluation tools. Select components (semiconductors, capacitors, inductors, etc.). Create BOMs, create and edit technical documents, and provide documentation support for sales, marketing, instruction manuals, data sheets, UL evaluation and related safety agency documentation needs. Work closely with firmware engineers to define project firmware/software requirements. Prototyping and validation Build and debug prototypes in a lab setting. Conduct design validation and qualification testing under various conditions (voltage, temperature, load) using equipment like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, DMMs, source/load, and thermal test systems. Develop prototypes to resolve key development risks. Technical leadership Lead projects and collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, PCB layout, firmware, product management, leadership). Direct and support engineering interns as needed by the company. Documentation Create and maintain engineering documentation, including specifications, test procedures, reports and analysis, BOM details, etc. Generate engineering documentation in support of design activities and customer requirements, including failure reports, design analysis, program progress reports, and configuration management inputs. Manufacturing support Interface with manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure designs are testable, manufacturable, and meet cost targets. Support BOM costing, design for manufacturability goals. Edit and update test procedures, component item masters and source control documents. Support the program design to build out cost estimates and design for manufacturing requirements. Work collaboratively with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Program Management to achieve material and labor design-to-cost targets Sales-marketing- customer support Review customer project or application technical specifications and requirements and assist in the generation of bids and proposals and feasibility studies. Participate with product management solution provision support and electrical design-modeling-costing-rendering and proposal generation. Participate in technical education, application, and product functional training for upper management, sales staff, and key customers. Provide the technical bridge from in-depth product design to non-technical staff and clients. Problem-solving Troubleshoot and perform root cause analysis on hardware and system issues. Provide training and support. Compliance Ensure designs comply with relevant safety, performance, EMC, and reliability standards, as well as safety protocols, especially during high-voltage testing and high energy discharge. Confirm thermal safety performance and battery BMS system interoperability. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or BSEET. Proven success managing complex engineering projects, including internal and external resource management and direction. Strong understanding of electronic theory, power electronics, power conversion principles, battery systems, and PV generation. Experience in power electronics design and hardware debugging. Proficiency with lab equipment. Familiarity with project management principles, Gantt chart tracking, and time management. Ability to read schematics, mechanical CAD drawings, and engineering specifications. Strong communication and collaboration skills; self-motivated and organized. Demonstrated application of electronic theory, principles of electrical circuits, testing procedures and related knowledge to construct and debug power electronics circuitry in relation to the design of power conversion equipment. Strong ability to analyze, record, and interpret test data to determine product acceptability. Involvement in the design, development, modification, and analysis of various electronics systems. Supports engineering team with a variety of complex engineering duties and/or hands on tasks. Ability to analyze, record, and interpret test data to determine product acceptability. Recommend changes in method or installation specifications to simplify tests or reduce test times. Multi-Layer Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design capabilities considered an asset. Knowledge of CAN, SPI, USB, I2C, RS485, RS232, SMBus/PMBus, and Modbus communication protocols considered an asset. Works well within a small team with limited resources. Embedded firmware design, microcontroller design and implementation competency. UL/CSA safety agency product submittal and support experience a plus. Benefits: Comprehensive benefits package including 401(k) with match, Medical, Dental, Vision, EAP, HSA, PTO, and major holidays.
