Oakville, Ontario, Canada Verdyn Full time $80,000 - $130,000 per year

About Verdyn

At Verdyn, we engineer and deliver turnkey solutions that drive North America's sustainable energy transition. Founded in 2019, we specialize in renewable energy, battery storage systems, power quality solutions, and advanced power electronics.

Our mission is to make energy supply reliable, efficient, and green—so our clients can focus on their core business.

We deliver end-to-end services—engineering design, procurement, commissioning, maintenance, and support—for:

  • Power Quality Solutions — Voltage regulation, DVRs, and power conditioning systems
  • Energy Storage & DC Microgrids — Fast-switching, scalable systems integrated with renewables and EV charging
  • EV DC Fast Charging Infrastructure — High-performance, modular systems ready for the growing EV market

The Role

Verdyn is developing a new multi-source DC/DC and AC/DC converter platform in the ~1 MW class. We're hiring a Senior Power Electronics Design Engineer to lead the hardware—from topology down to layout, build, and verification—while partnering closely with controls to deliver grid-ready, high-reliability product. Experience with high-voltage hardware and power-quality systems (STATCOM, DVR, UPS) is a big plus.

What you'll do

  • Own the power stage: select and architect converter topologies (DC/DC and AC/DC), define operating points, size devices and passive components, and drive the electrical/mechanical partitioning.
  • Semiconductor & gate-drive design: choose SiC/IGBT devices, design gate-drive circuits (desat/soft-turn-off, Miller clamp), manage dv/dt, common-mode, and switching loss trade-offs.
  • Magnetics & passives: design/qualify inductors, transformers, busbars, snubbers, and capacitive energy storage for MW-class power conversion.
  • High-voltage design: specify insulation systems, creepage/clearance, insulation coordination, surge protection, and partial-discharge risk mitigation for kV-class hardware.
  • Thermal & mechanical: model and design heat-sinking/liquid cooling, validate junction/skin/proximity effects, and optimize packaging for manufacturability and service.
  • EMI/EMC and PQ performance: plan filter architectures (CM/DM), meet conducted/radiated requirements, and ensure grid-friendly behaviour (THD, PF, flicker, harmonics).
  • Power-quality applications: adapt the platform for STATCOM, DVR, and double-conversion UPS use-cases (series/shunt interfacing, ride-through, fault handling).
  • Schematic-to-PCB: drive high-current, high-dv/dt layout (Kelvin source, current return control, shielding/slotting) and DFM with suppliers.
  • Prototype & test: lead bring-up, HV/LV power tests (hipot, surge, PD where applicable), efficiency/thermals, and reliability (HALT/HASS).
  • Compliance & grid codes: plan for applicable safety and interconnection standards; create test plans and documentation to certify.
  • Collaborate: work with controls/firmware to align sensing, protection, and real-time limits; support HIL/SIL and site commissioning as needed.
  • Create IP: contribute to patents, design notes, and test methods that differentiate Verdyn.

What you bring

  • Bachelor's or higher in Electrical Engineering (or related).
  • 8+ years designing power electronics hardware at high power (hundreds of kW to ~1 MW), from concept through lab validation and field deployment.
  • Hands-on experience with AC/DC (AFE/rectifier/inverter) and high-power DC/DC converters, modulation methods, and protection schemes.
  • Strong command of SiC/IGBT device selection, gate-drive design, switching transients, and safe-operating-area management.
  • Proven PCB layout for high-current, high-voltage converters and EMI/EMC mitigation.
  • Magnetics design (transformers/inductors), thermal design, and cooling system integration.
  • Practical high-voltage safety and test practice (lockout/tagout, safe energization, fault insertion).
  • Proficiency with simulation tools (e.g., PLECS, SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink/Simscape) for loss, thermal, EMI, and control-plant interactions.
  • Clear technical communication; disciplined documentation and change control.

Nice to have

  • Experience delivering power-quality systems (STATCOM, DVR, UPS) or BESS/DC microgrids/EV fast charging; grid-forming/following familiarity.
  • HIL/SIL exposure (Typhoon HIL, OPAL-RT) and collaboration with controls on current/voltage loops, PLLs, and protection logic.
  • High-voltage lab methods: hipot, partial discharge, surge/impulse testing, and insulation coordination per standards.
  • Knowledge of relevant standards/codes (e.g., IEC /-2, IEC , UL 1741/CSA equivalents, IEEE 519/1547, EMC).
  • Experience with reliability tools (DFMEA, derating analyses) and design for manufacturing/service.
  • Contributions to patents or trade-secreted hardware IP.

Why Verdyn

  • Build a new converter platform with real grid impact, not incremental tweaks.
  • Small, senior team; high ownership from day one.
  • Opportunity to shape both the hardware architecture and the qualification path to production.

How to apply: Send your CV and a short portfolio (schematics/layout screenshots you can share, test photos, efficiency/EMI plots) to with subject "Senior Power Electronics Design Engineer – Hardware". Include a brief note on your most challenging HV or PQ design and what made it hard.Application Process
