Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We\'ve raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We\'re building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

We\'re hiring a versatile Electronics Design Engineer to develop the core electronics behind our plug-and-play solar products. The role focuses on designing robust, scalable electrical systems for safe, efficient and reliable renewable energy hardware.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end electrical development, including requirements definition, specification, design execution, simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout, DFM iteration, board bring-up, system integration, and validation
Design and develop electronics for renewable energy systems, including power conversion, sensing, control, and communications functions
Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, controls, PCB layout, program management, validation, and manufacturing teams to deliver high-performance hardware
Debug hardware issues and system-level interactions in a fast-moving, multidisciplinary development environment
Produce clear and thorough technical documentation, including design requirements, calculations, test plans, validation results, and design reviews
Support prototype builds, industrialization, supplier engagement, and production ramp activities
Rapidly iterate designs as requirements evolve and product features mature over time

Requirements

Strong understanding of power electronics and circuit design, including dc/dc converters, inverters, battery-powered systems, power switching devices, gate drivers, magnetics, and loss modeling/calculation
Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design, including microcontrollers, signal conditioning, common communications interfaces, component selection, and thermal/power dissipation considerations
Experience with PCB design and layout for mixed power and signal systems, including minimizing parasitics and designing for EMI/EMC performance
Experience with circuit board design tools, ideally Altium Designer
Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, electronic loads, signal generators, LCR meters, and power analyzers
Experience with hardware bring-up, validation, debugging, and root-cause analysis
Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools such as LTspice, PLECS, or similar
Basic scripting or programming ability, ideally in Python or MATLAB
Basic knowledge of embedded systems, PWM, and control concepts for power conversion
Experience supporting products through manufacturing and high-volume production is a plus
Bachelor\'s, Master\'s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
