Job Description
Insight Global is supporting Wabtec’s Electric Drives organization in identifying an Inverter Controller Engineer to support inverter and converter applications across locomotive, off‑highway vehicle (OHV), EV, and hybrid platforms.

This role is a long‑term investment supporting existing architectures as well as limited from‑scratch development.

Own inverter/converter controller hardware requirements
Validate controller hardware against power electronics behavior
Support bring‑up and validation using C/C++
Execute and support HIL and lab‑based testing
Partner cross‑functionally with hardware, software, and systems teams
