High-speed permanent magnet motors and power electronics for energy applications
Calnetix designs and manufactures high-speed permanent magnet machines and variable-frequency power electronics for defense, aerospace, marine, and oil-and-gas systems. The stack—embedded C/C++, MATLAB/Simulink, ANSYS Maxwell, and silicon carbide/GaN semiconductor design—reflects deep control and simulation expertise typical of motor and power-converter development. Hiring is engineering-heavy (12 of 19 active roles) and skewed toward senior talent, with concurrent scaling in manufacturing and a focus on production ramp and lean initiatives, suggesting transition from development into high-volume delivery.
Calnetix Technologies, founded in 1998 and based in Cypress, California, manufactures high-speed permanent magnet motors, generators, and power electronics for specialized industrial and defense applications. The company serves aerospace, marine, oil-and-gas, and motorsports sectors with motors optimized for high efficiency, power density, and reliability. Current work spans e-motor inverter design, power converter development, and waste-heat recovery systems using turbo expanders and organic Rankine cycle technology. Production challenges include supply-chain constraints, inventory optimization, and quality compliance tied to defense contract requirements.
Embedded C/C++, MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS Maxwell, PLECS, LTspice, SolidWorks, silicon carbide and GaN design, NXP/TI microcontrollers, CAN bus, and GitLab for version control.
Yes. 12 of 19 active roles are engineering positions, with 11 at senior level and 2 at lead level. All hiring is based in the United States.
High-speed permanent magnet motors, generators, variable-frequency drives, power electronics (inverters and converters), and turbo expanders for waste-heat recovery in defense, aerospace, marine, and oil-and-gas applications.
