Company Overview
Do not wait to apply after reading this description a high application volume is expected for this opportunity.
Second Order Effects (SOE) is an engineering consulting firm that transforms uncertainty into fully functional hardware and software.
We work on projects at all stages of development; we perform analysis, build prototypes, and take products to market. Our team solves high-impact problems across numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, industrial automation, biomedical, and green energy.
Our designs control rocket engines, manage satellite communications, instrument fusion reactors, and are enjoyed by consumers around the world.
The only thing we won’t build is weapons.
Founded in 2016, Second Order Effects has 50+ employees (and counting!) in offices in El Segundo, California and Redmond, Washington. We've worked with >
130 clients on >
300 projects as a partner, on retainer, or on demand.
How do we do this? We prioritize others, build the right thing, welcome difficulty, and play the long game. Learn more at soeffects.com!
Team Overview
Electrical engineering is the beating heart of SOE’s technical capability, with power electronics as our newest specialization in that discipline.
Power electronics is currently part of the Special Projects team, where we incubate new technical competencies by tackling the programs with the highest degree of novelty, uncertainty, and learning.
Special Projects is designed to be antidisciplinary, including systems engineering, power electronics, firmware, mechanical engineering, and physics.
We jump in on the misfit projects and the what’s possible? questions. We study and explain the gaps between the first-principles physics, the commercial solutions, and the state-of-the-art research.
We move quickly by making assumptions, and focus our efforts by understanding where those assumptions break down. We are voracious learners, and learn with the goal of empowering the rest of the team to solve the problem - not just ourselves.
Responsibilities
- Support the development of SOE’s most complex power electronics systems (typically
