Pulsed Power Engineer

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop high voltage (0.5-1MV range) and high current (1-20 kA) Marx generators, SINUS generators, PFNs, or other pulse-shaping networks.
• Optimize pulse characteristics of existing generators for improved rise time, flat-top duration, jitter, repetition rate and energy efficiency.
• Perform circuit simulation and transient analysis using tools such as LTspice, PSpice, MATLAB/Simulink, COMSOL, ANSYS, or equivalent.
• Select and qualify high-voltage components such as capacitors, spark gaps, solid-state switches, transmission lines).
• Develop and implement high-voltage safety protocols.
• Create detailed design documentation, schematics, and technical reports
• Other duties related to the position.

Skills required for the job

• Profound knowledge of high-power electronics, including design, fabrication, and testing of high-voltage pulsed power sources, components, and systems.
• Experience working with kV–MV and kA-class systems.
• Knowledge of HV diagnostics (Rogowski coils, HV dividers, fast current probes).
• Strong background in high-voltage circuit design and safety protocols.
• Proficiency in simulation software for electronic circuits and system design (e.g., SPICE, LTspice, or similar).
• Experience in transformer and coil winding techniques, with an understanding of the principles of magnetic design and high-voltage insulation.
• Hands-on experience with high-voltage equipment testing, including the use of oscilloscopes, multimeters, high-voltage probes, and insulation resistance testers.

Qualifications

• To qualify for this position, you will need to meet the following requirements:
• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or a related field; or equivalent technical training and professional experience.
• Minimum of five years of experience in high-voltage pulsed power sources, design and testing, after graduation.
• Communication skills for working on a multidisciplinary team.
