Staff Electrical Systems Design Engineer

Reports To Director, Product Engineering

Principal Engineer, Systems Engineering

What You Will Be Doing

ChargePoint is looking for a motivated and creative Staff Electrical Systems Engineer to drive the design, development, testing, and manufacturing of our DC fast charging products. In this role, you'll take ownership of the technical direction, system architecture, and key design trade-offs. You'll work closely with a multidisciplinary team spanning power electronics, mechanical, electrical, thermal, PCB design, regulatory, quality, reliability, and test engineering. Your systems-level expertise and technical leadership will guide our HV DC fast chargers from early-stage concepts through to deployment in the field.

What You Will Bring to ChargePoint

• Lead the electrical system architecture, define subsystem boundaries, and manage cross-disciplinary interfaces for HV DC fast chargers
• Review and approve design documentation, schematics, and board layouts, drawing on deep experience in analog, digital, and power circuit design
• Collaborate across power electronics, firmware, hardware, thermal, test, quality, reliability, and regulatory teams to gather and align on cross-functional requirements and drive execution
• Own the DFMEA process to ensure product reliability
• Conduct short circuit analysis and select appropriate protection devices
• Define fault classifications, thresholds, and response strategies for all system-level components
• Develop and execute thorough test plans to validate hardware and firmware performance, durability, and compliance with product specifications
• Diagnose and resolve hardware issues efficiently using hands-on lab tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a closely related discipline; Master's degree preferred
• 7 to 10 years of hands-on industry experience working with systems in the 208–600 VAC and up to 1000 VDC range
• Demonstrated history of leading complex hardware programs from initial concept through volume production
• Experience with renewable energy systems and grid-tied inverter applications such as solar, battery energy storage, or EV charging
• Foundational understanding of power converter topologies (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC) and associated control strategies
• Familiarity with relevant regulatory standards such as IEC 62368, IEEE 1547, UL 1741, CA Rule 21, IEC 61851, and SunSpec Modbus is a plus
