Senior Electrical Design Engineer – Power & Magnetics
Manpower Group (USA), Milwaukee, WI, United States
Senior Electrical Design Engineer – Power & Magnetics
Reference Number: 395107 | Published Date: 04/23/2026 | Job Type: Permanent | Industry: Architecture and Engineering | Hours: Full Time
Location: Milwaukee, WI (north suburbs – Ozaukee County) – Onsite
Build It. Test It. Fix It. Own It.
Most engineering roles stop at design. This one doesn’t.
Our client is a specialized, growing engineering and manufacturing organization that designs and builds custom power solutions for demanding applications across industrial automation, medical technology, and advanced systems.
This isn’t theoretical work. These are real products, built, tested, and deployed in environments where performance and reliability matter.
This role sits at the center of it.
You’ll take designs from concept through production. You’ll work hands‑on in the lab. You’ll collaborate directly with manufacturing. And you’ll solve real problems when things don’t go as planned.
If you want full ownership and visible impact, this is that move.
What You’ll Do
Design high‑frequency magnetic components (transformers, inductors, chokes) used in power conversion systems
Work within typical ranges of 5kHz–500kHz and 50W–50kW+
Translate customer requirements into practical, manufacturable designs
Build, test, and validate prototypes in a lab environment
Work directly with manufacturing to release designs into production
Troubleshoot production and field issues, lead root cause analysis and corrective actions
Support existing products while driving new design work
Contribute to continuous improvement in design methods, tools, and processes
What You Bring
Experience designing high‑frequency magnetics OR strong adjacent experience in:
Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
Power electronics / power conversion systems
Experience working in high‑frequency environments (typically 5kHz and above)
Strong understanding of magnetics fundamentals:
Core losses (hysteresis, eddy currents)
Copper losses (I²R, skin/proximity effects)
Hands‑on experience with:
Lab testing and validation
Prototype builds or design verification
Experience supporting products in production and troubleshooting issues
Ability to manage multiple priorities and shift between projects
Important to Know
This is not a pure design or simulation role
You will spend meaningful time in the lab and supporting production
The role requires flexibility, adaptability, and willingness to handle both new design and existing product challenges
What Will Set You Apart
Experience designing transformers and inductors from the ground up
Experience with SMPS topologies and power conversion systems
Exposure to electromagnetic modeling tools (ANSYS Maxwell or similar)
Familiarity with UL / IEC standards
3D CAD experience (Inventor, SolidWorks, etc.)
Track record of learning new tools and technologies quickly
Who Thrives Here
Engineers who want to see their work built and used
People who are comfortable moving between design, testing, and troubleshooting
Individuals who prefer variety and ownership over narrow specialization
Practical problem‑solvers – not purely academic or research‑focused engineers
Why Make the Move
Own the full lifecycle – take designs from concept through prototype, testing, and into production
Work on real applications – your designs are used in critical systems where performance and reliability matter
Get out of the silo – work directly with manufacturing, testing, and customers instead of handing work off
Build and learn faster – small team, less bureaucracy, more exposure across the business
See the impact of your work – what you design gets built, tested, and used
Compensation & Location
Base salary range: $90,000 – $160,000+, depending on experience and fit
Bonus potential included
Location: Milwaukee, WI (north suburbs – Ozaukee County) – Onsite
Relocation support may be available for the right candidate
Additional Considerations
Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship
Formal education in Electrical Engineering or a related field is helpful, but not required
Equivalent hands‑on experience in power electronics or magnetics design is highly valued
Apply now to be considered
Qualified candidates will be contacted directly to discuss the role and next steps.
Please note all resumes and candidate information submitted are kept in the strictest confidence. No resume will be released without the candidate's prior permission.
