Collaborate with suppliers, engineers (electrical, mechanical, PCB layout, firmware, controls and system) and technicians to design and validate power converters.
Own the power electronics hardware development from specification to analysis, design, prototype, and testing.
Develop analysis-led design (ALD) tools to transfer knowledge and enable rapid design and optimization.

Required Skills:

Strong understanding of power electronics topologies (AC/DC, DC/DC & DC/AC).
Strong experience of selecting and using power semiconductor devices including IGBT’s, Si MOSFET’s, diodes and wide-bandgap (SiC, GaN) devices.
Strong experience in power converter modeling, simulation, and loss calculation.
Experience in selecting magnetics (inductors and transformers) and capacitors (electrolytic, film and ceramic) used for power convertors.
Experience in designing reliable analog/digital circuits, especially gate drive circuits with protections.
Experience in supervision of PCB layout for minimal parasitics, placement strategies for better manufacturability, and power/signal plane definition.
Experience in reducing EMI noise through PCB layout, shielding, filtering and component arrangement.
Experience in conducting research, deriving design formula, and developing ALD tools.
Proficiency with power electronics lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power suppliers, load banks, emulators etc.).
Experience in developing test methods, developing test plans, conducting high-power tests, trouble shooting, problem solving and writing test reports.
Good understanding of Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) and Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R).

To be successful in this role you will need the following:

1-3 years of work experience.
Experience in using hardware-in-the-loop systems to test control logics and system dynamics.
Knowledge of traction motor drives and controls applied to electric/hybrid-electric vehicles.
Knowledge of energy storage inverters and controls applied to off-grid and grid-tied applications.
Experience in designing high-frequency magnetics (inductors and transformers) and EMI filters.

Master’s degree or PhD in electrical engineering with specialization in power electronics hardware and controls.
