Are you interested in developing Battery Electric Vehicles? Are you passionate about Power Electronics? Do you have diverse skills in electrical safety principles, systems engineering, and product design and communication? If so, then a career as a Power Electronics Engineer in PACCAR Global Powertrain Division is for you! Within a new team of highly talented engineers, you will find yourself designing safety into Electrical Vehicle Systems for all of PACCAR’s worldwide vehicle divisions. This position will take a global approach and requires collaboration within diverse cross-functional and multicultural team. PACCAR is engaged to advance its product line to zero-emissions powertrains, and this chance to assume a chance to assume a critical role in supporting that effort.
This posting is for high voltage power electronics development, which involves Onboard Charging, DCDC Conversion, AC Inverters, Charge Controllers, Charge Control Functions, Fuse, Circuit breakers, Circuit Protection technologies, High Voltage Charging and Power Converters. The position opens for this program will work together in control and interface with suppliers to develop the next generation of high voltage components. These components enable key vehicle functions of safety, charging, and power transmission to all vehicle electronics. The ideal goal of this development effort is to integrate and consolidate devices into an elegant system that optimizes performance, packaging, and cost to support longer range and higher adoption of commercial EV’s.
