Get Access To All JobsSenior Power Electronics Engineer - LiquidPiston
This role is onsite in Bloomfield, CT, five days per week, and the company will be relocating to Suffield, CT later in 2026.
About LiquidPiston
LiquidPiston is revolutionizing combustion engine technology through the development of advanced rotary engines and integrated hybrid power systems. Our innovative designs aim to dramatically improve efficiency, reduce size and weight, and enable cleaner, more compact power solutions across defense, aerospace, and commercial sectors.
Position Overview
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning hardware from concept through production. While power electronics is a major part of the job, this is not a narrowly scoped “design one converter for a year” role. The right candidate is excited by the broader challenge of building reliable, high-performance products in a small-company environment where priorities evolve quickly and engineers wear multiple hats.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, simulate, prototype, debug, and improve power electronics hardware for advanced engine and generator systems
- Develop and support converters, inverters, motor drives, power distribution systems, battery interfaces, and related hardware
- Perform hands-on hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, validation, rework, and root-cause analysis of electrical and thermal failures
- Address real-world hardware challenges including EMI/EMC issues, component failures, manufacturability concerns, and reliability improvements
- Work closely with electrical, mechanical, embedded controls, and test engineers to develop fully integrated products
- Oversee external vendors and contractors, including reviewing designs, identifying issues, and resolving integration or quality problems
- Execute rapid prototype development, bench testing, and in-house troubleshooting to support development timelines
- Contribute to related electrical engineering efforts beyond core PE, including engine controls, genset controls, instrumentation, wiring, and general EE tasks
- Support iterative product development and continuous improvement activities throughout the product lifecycle
- Operate effectively in a fast-paced small-company environment where priorities may shift and engineers are expected to take broad ownership
Required Qualifications
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related field
- Strong hands-on experience designing and developing power electronics hardware
- Experience with converters, inverters, motor drives, high-current/high-voltage systems, or related power electronics applications
- Practical experience with hardware debugging, lab testing, prototype integration, and failure analysis
- Strong understanding of real-world electrical engineering tradeoffs including thermal management, PCB layout, EMI/EMC, reliability, and manufacturability
- Experience working with external vendors, contract manufacturers, or third-party design firms
- Comfortable performing hands-on lab work including soldering, rework, instrumentation, and troubleshooting
- Ability to work across disciplines and contribute to broader electrical and system-level engineering challenges
- Adaptable, self-motivated, and comfortable working in a highly collaborative small-team environment
- Strong problem-solving skills and a demonstrated ability to drive hardware issues to resolution quickly and effectively
- Passion for building and improving real-world hardware products
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with weight- and efficiency-critical designs (e.g., aerospace, defense, UAVs).
- Background in hybrid power systems, gensets, and MIL-STD compliant systems (e.g., AMMPS).
- Knowledge of CANBUS/MODBUS communication protocols.
- Hands-on experience with PCB layout and design tools such as Altium or OrCAD.
- Firmware development experience (C/C++ preferred).
- Project management skills with experience coordinating across teams and with external stakeholders.
Benefits & Perks
- PTO: We value work–life balance and encourage time to rest and recharge.
- Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical and voluntary dental, and vision coverage - you choose what works best for you.
- Equity Participation: Employees may receive RSUs (Restricted Stock Units).
- 401(k) Match: We offer a 401k w/100% matching up to 3% of your salary and then 50% of contributions between 3-5% after 1 year of employment.
- Career Growth: Ongoing training, mentorship, and learning opportunities to accelerate your growth.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an Electronic Engineer
Document your engineering specialization early
PERM audits for Electronic Engineer roles often scrutinize whether your degree field matches the job duties. Gather transcripts, course descriptions, and any credential evaluations before job searching so you're not scrambling after an offer.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Defense contractors, semiconductor manufacturers, and telecommunications firms file PERM applications regularly for Electronic Engineers. Use Migrate Mate to filter employers by green card sponsorship history so you focus only on companies already running this process.
Clarify EB-2 versus EB-3 fit with your offer letter
If the role requires only a bachelor's degree, most employers file under EB-3. Roles demanding a master's or equivalent specialized expertise qualify for EB-2. Ask hiring managers which category they intend to sponsor before accepting, since it affects your priority date timeline.
Understand how prevailing wage affects your offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your job title and location before PERM is certified. Cross-reference your offer against the OFLC Wage Search to confirm the posted salary meets the threshold for your specific SOC code and geographic area.
Verify your employer's E-Verify enrollment before signing
Employers sponsoring foreign workers for green cards must use E-Verify during the PERM recruitment phase. Confirming enrollment upfront signals the company has compliance infrastructure for immigration sponsorship and reduces the risk of process delays after you've already accepted an offer.
Prepare for the PERM recruitment waiting period
USCIS does not control the PERM timeline. DOL processing currently runs several months, plus your employer must complete mandatory recruitment steps beforehand. Build a financial and status buffer into your planning so an H-1B visa expiration does not force a premature departure mid-process.
Green Card Electronic Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Electronic Engineer role typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3?
Most Electronic Engineer positions qualify under EB-3 when the minimum requirement is a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related field. EB-2 applies if the role requires a master's degree or the employer can demonstrate a business necessity for advanced expertise. Your offer letter's stated minimum education requirement is what DOL evaluates during PERM, not your actual credentials.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for Electronic Engineers?
H-1B is a temporary status requiring renewal, subject to the annual lottery for most employers, and capped at six years without extension. PERM-based green card sponsorship is permanent residency with no annual cap at the EB-3 level and no lottery. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification and I-140 adjudication can take a year or more before you even reach the visa queue.
Where can I find Electronic Engineer jobs that offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search Electronic Engineer roles filtered specifically by employment-based green card sponsorship history, so you can focus on employers already running PERM processes rather than guessing from job descriptions. Most standard job boards don't surface sponsorship intent at this level of detail, which makes the search inefficient for EB-2 and EB-3 candidates.
What engineering credentials does DOL expect for an Electronic Engineer PERM application?
DOL evaluates the minimum requirements stated in the PERM application, not your personal qualifications. The job description must reflect what is genuinely required for the role, and your employer cannot inflate requirements to fit your background. O*NET classifies Electronic Engineers under a job zone requiring at least a bachelor's degree, which anchors what DOL considers a legitimate minimum for most positions.
Can my employer start the PERM process while I'm on H-1B?
Yes, and starting PERM early is strongly advisable. Filing before you reach your sixth year of H-1B status preserves your ability to extend beyond the six-year cap under AC21 portability rules, provided the I-140 is approved or the PERM has been pending for 365 days. USCIS requires both conditions to be met for the extension to apply.
