About Steinmetz

Next-Generation Power Electronics

Tech

Steinmetz builds high-power electric propulsion and power-conversion hardware end-to-end: from semiconductor packaging and gate-drive electronics through firmware, controls, thermal/mechanical design, and MW-scale validation. We are tool-agnostic and use whatever gets the design to real hardware fastest. A sample of the problems we work on: # Software / Firmware - Rust firmware for embedded power electronics - 100 kHz-class switching controls, protection loops, and fault handling - Hardware-in-the-loop testing, telemetry, calibration, and automated bring-up # Electrical / Power Electronics - MW-scale power electronics simulation, test, and validation - Nanosecond-scale semiconductor switching and high-dv/dt design - Custom chip / power-module packaging - Gate-drive, sensing, isolation, EMI/EMC, and fault-protection hardware # Mechanical / Thermal - Thermal management for high-power systems, including vacuum environments - Lightweight mechanical structures for high-vibration platforms: aircraft, cars, rockets, boats, etc. - Aluminum structures, busbars, enclosures, cooling paths, and manufacturable packaging # Test / Manufacturing - Custom test stands for high-voltage, high-current hardware - Rapid prototyping across PCBAs, machined parts, harnesses, and assemblies - Design-for-test and design-for-manufacturing on real production-intent hardware

The role

Steinmetz is hiring a firmware engineer for a new power electronics product we’re bringing to market.At Steinmetz we deal with incredible challenges, and we have a very high-bar for talent. The ideal person for this role is someone who can take ownership and execute, the type of person who when faced with a challenge can work to find a solution.## What You’ll Do* Write Rust firmware for resource-constrained microcontrollers* Design and validate high-frequency power electronics control loops* Design and bring up the software integration for our hardware test suites* Work on test fixtures for our manufacturing line## Must-Haves* Experience in Rust programming* Understanding of firmware fundamentals* Ability to learn quickly* Resilience
