Magnetics Engineer

You will join Resonant Link’s world-class electromagnetics team in the design and development of electromagnetic coils for our wireless chargers. We are looking for a motivated scientist or engineer to run technical projects and work with our team on the cutting edge of the field. Your primary responsibilities will be design, construction and validation of complex passive networks and the associated electromagnetic components. You will perform analysis and electromagnetic simulations to assess feasibility across applications and deliver optimized designs of Resonant Link’s best-in-class wireless charging coils.

On an average day, you’ll...

• Make key architectural decisions for high-performance electromagnetic systems that underpin wireless chargers for the world’s most demanding applications.
• Assess feasibility of wireless power systems for new applications.
• Design, build and test ultra-low-loss resonant tanks, inductors and transformers for frequencies ranging from 100s of kHz into the MHz range.
• Modeling (including analytical solutions, 2D, and 3D simulations) the performance of wireless power transfer systems and electromagnetic components for power converters.
• Work closely with our power electronics and mechanical teams to converge on integration solutions for multiple subsystems.
• Perform component and product-level testing on latest prototypes.
• Source and collaborate with domestic and overseas suppliers.

Requirements

• Strong physics and/or electromagnetics background.
• Experience with finite-element electromagnetics simulation.
• Experience designing electromagnetics components and/or electronic circuits.
• Preferred: experience in magnetics, RF, microwave, antenna or electric machine designs
• Preferred: good understanding of power electronics systems

Who we’re looking for:

• You have an appetite to continuously learn new things to overcome significant technical obstacles.
• You are an independent problem solver excited to tackle challenges at the boundary between scientific innovation and productization.
• You find the experience of converting ideas into reality rewarding.
• You are motivated by the opportunity to work at a dynamic startup company where your contributions will have an outsized impact on our products, customers, and culture.
• You are respectful, empathetic, honest, and energetic.

The team you will be joining:

The magnetics team, staffed by engineers from the world’s foremost power electronics and magnetics laboratories, operates at the critical juncture in the development of wireless chargers. We are critically reliant on our team members’ ownership, creativity, technical rigor, and collaboration to deliver on our first-of-their-kind magnetics and power electronics. Our greater engineering team includes electrical, mechanical, embedded, and magnetics engineers with PhDs from Berkeley, Dartmouth, ETH Zurich, Michigan, and Stanford and experience at Tesla, Apple, iRobot, and Harvard Medical School. You will learn from world-class experts inside and outside the organization, with technical leaders and partners engaged and accessible every week at Resonant Link.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and generous stock options.
• Paid holidays (including a week off at new year) and an unlimited vacation policy.
• The flexibility to work anywhere and a home office stipend.
• Affordable health and dental options.
• Generous paid parental and family leave.
• Learning/career development investment in your professional and personal growth including hiring outside mentors, professional development courses, and more.
• Company outings & team retreats (post-pandemic!).

Who we are:

At Resonant Link, we’re building best-in-class wireless chargers to accelerate electrification in multiple multi-billion-dollar markets like robotics, material handling, and electric vehicles. Our wireless chargers are unmatched in speed, price, weight, and size, unlocking electrification by recharging vehicles during the short stops that already exist during operation to extend range and shrink on-board batteries. Since our founding, we’ve landed leading customers in every sector (including 4 Fortune 500 companies) to power their mission-critical applications.

Resonant Link is based in Vermont, California, and Zurich and our investors & partners include the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, Cyclotron Road / Activate, Stanford, Dartmouth, Urban Us, Scout Ventures and others.
