Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Director of Power Electronics Product Delivery - **Company:** WRIGHT ELECTRIC, INC. - **Location:** Malta, NY, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $210,000.0 - $260,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Systems Engineering, Software Debugging, Systems Integration - **Published:** June 13, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=6a4f74f2f357a4af ## About the Role Do you have experience in Thermal control?, * 10+ years in power electronics, electrification, or inverter-based systems * Direct experience taking an inverter from prototype to commercial or defense delivery * Prior technical decision authority (not just contributor) on at least one shipped inverter product * Background in one or more of: Inverter generators * EV traction inverters or onboard chargers * Aerospace or defense power electronics * Electric aviation propulsion * Solar inverters (string or hybrid) * Industrial motor drives or UPS systems * Hands-on experience with: High-power switching devices (SiC and/or IGBT) * Gate drive design and protection * EMI/EMC mitigation * Thermal management (liquid or advanced air cooling) * Power electronics integration and debugging * Demonstrated experience leading a product through certification and qualification testing Strongly preferred * Defense or aerospace power electronics qualification experience (MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-810, DO-160) * Experience scaling from low-volume to production manufacturing * History of making pragmatic tradeoffs under schedule and cost pressure - including descoping features to hit a committed date * Comfort saying "no" to elegant designs that won't survive certification or production * Comfort operating in a fast-moving, resource-constrained startup environment where priorities and constraints evolve quickly, This role is ideal for someone who: * Has shipped real hardware systems, not just prototypes * Combines deep technical credibility in power electronics with delivery discipline * Is comfortable making difficult tradeoffs to hit delivery milestones * Wants meaningful ownership over a critical product and a critical organization transition * Is energized by hard technical problems and real deployment pressure ## Description Product Delivery & Execution * Own the end-to-end productization of the Dynamo system, from prototype through qualified production release * Own program execution, schedule, budget, and milestone delivery; drive scope and architecture tradeoffs to hit committed customer dates * Identify technical and program risks early and drive mitigation * Lead design reviews, risk assessments, and design freeze decisions Technical Leadership * Lead technical decision-making across: Topology selection and validation * Protection schemes (faults, short-circuit, ground fault, isolation, thermal) * EMI/EMC mitigation and layout strategy * Thermal design and derating philosophy * Controls and system stability * Reliability, lifetime, and abuse-case handling * Provide hands-on technical leadership during architecture reviews, integration, debugging, and qualification * Command credibility with senior engineers in detailed technical discussions System Integration * Drive integration across inverter, controls, thermal systems, generator, and balance-of-system hardware * Ensure incremental validation of subsystems rather than late-stage "big bang" integration * Support prototype builds, pilot builds, field deployments, and customer demonstrations Qualification & Manufacturing * Drive qualification to applicable defense and commercial standards, including MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC), MIL-STD-704 (power quality), MIL-STD-810 (environmental), and where relevant DO-160, UL 2200, UL 1741, and IEC 62109 * Serve as the primary technical interface with certification bodies, test labs, manufacturing partners, and suppliers * Define and enforce design for manufacturability and cost-down strategies * Support the transition from prototype builds into repeatable manufacturing Team Leadership * Build and lead a growing power electronics and systems engineering team * Bring the operating cadence, design review rigor, and program structure that turn deep technical work into shipped product ## Related Videos - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Using AI Without Losing Your Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2045-using-ai-without-losing-your-skills) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [Breaking the Hardware Mindset: Overcoming Barriers to System-Level Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1635-breaking-the-hardware-mindset-overcoming-barriers-to-system-level-innovation) - [Automated Driving - Why is it so hard to introduce](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/628-automated-driving-why-is-it-so-hard-to-introduce) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
