Remote Power Electronics Engineer
⚡ Change How the World Is Powered—From Your Own Space
Ever wondered what it’s like to design tech that keeps cities moving, cars cleaner, and lights on in places you’ve only seen on maps—all from your favorite spot at home? That’s the spirit that started our adventure. It began as a bold idea: can a handful of sharp, inventive engineers—each in a different country—come together and create energy solutions that make a difference? It turns out that the answer is yes. We now tackle projects ranging from off-grid solar in far-off towns to rapid chargers for tomorrow’s vehicles. If you’re always looking for a more innovative, better way, you’ll feel at home here.
We’re not just hiring for a job; we’re welcoming new voices to help us build what comes next. As a Remote Power Electronics Engineer, you’ll help us solve real challenges and leave your mark on the future of energy.
💡 Why This Role Matters
Imagine you’re sketching out a new inverter idea with a mug of tea at your side, knowing that spark of inspiration could power homes or keep buses running on clean energy. Each project you’ll touch is an open invitation to try, test, and break new ground. Sometimes you’ll be deep in converter design, and at other times, you'll be building more innovative battery systems. Whatever your day brings, you’ll see your work making an impact: safer cars, cleaner grids, and electronics that move the needle.
🚀 Your Everyday Impact
- Design, simulate, and refine power circuits using digital tools you know and love
- Explore new digital control ideas for rock-solid and efficient power management

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
1. What does a typical day look like for a Remote Power Electronics Engineer?
Most days start with a look at what’s in progress—maybe running a simulation, drawing up a new circuit idea, or checking in with the team on project updates. You’ll spend time with tools like MATLAB, SPICE, or Altium, working through new challenges or figuring out why a design isn’t working yet. Some hours are all about deep focus; other times, you’re in a quick call sharing sketches or sorting out a test result. At day’s end, you can see how your efforts push a real project closer to reality.
2. What are the biggest challenges in this job?
No two days feel the same. Sometimes you’re stuck troubleshooting a stubborn design or racing the clock to finish a build. Other times, you’re trying to make something new work with the latest tech or need to get a tricky point across to a teammate halfway around the world. There’s always a balance between experimenting with fresh ideas and making sure everything is safe and reliable. The biggest wins usually come after you’ve worked through these bumps in the road.
3. How does the remote team stay connected?
Distance doesn’t mean disconnected. The team checks in every day—sometimes with a quick call to swap ideas, sometimes in group chats to tackle a problem together. Sharing wins, getting fast feedback, or just having a laugh is part of the routine. People jump in when someone’s stuck, and nobody’s left waiting for help or answers. Collaboration happens naturally, even if you’ve never met in person.
4. What qualities help someone succeed in this role?
You’ll stand out if you’re the kind of person who gets hands-on, keeps asking questions, and isn’t afraid to learn new things. Being able to explain your thinking, both in writing and on a call, matters a lot, especially when you’re working with teammates on different schedules. If you know when to tackle something solo and when to call in backup, you’ll fit right in. A genuine interest in improving energy technology is what truly unites the team.
5. How does this job support professional growth?
Every assignment is a new chance to learn—sometimes you’ll get to try out the latest tools, sometimes you’ll tackle a project that’s different from anything you’ve done before. There’s backing for extra courses or conferences, and you’ll get to experiment and suggest your own ideas. As you gain experience, you may focus on a new area of technology or help shape how the group handles challenging projects. As you grow, the whole team gets stronger, and there’s always something new to work toward.
