Sr. Power Electronics Engineer

Description

• Lead power electronics hardware design in support of new product development.
• Design and implement switching stages for DC/DC, AC/DC and DC/AC conversion circuitry.
• Design switching circuitry with wide band-gap devices (GaN, SiC).
• Work effectively with cross-functional teams to resolve early (architectural) and late (lab, test & validation) challenges on fast timelines.
• Optimize converter topologies for loss and cost minimization, and develop new topologies.
• Collaborate with control and firmware engineers for control validation on hardware prototypes

Requirements

• Experience with full product development process including EMI/EMC testing, certification processes, failure analysis, etc.
• Expertise in power circuit analysis, such as worst-case circuit analysis, failure method effectiveness and criticality, and reliability.
• Extensive hands-on experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, RLC analyzers, impedance analyzers, spectrum analyzers, electronic (AC/DC) loads, and signal/power generators.
• Experience working with x-functional teams: mechanical, software, and test.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience in planning and implementing HW and FW verification during product development, to ensure the design meets specifications and requirements.
• Experience studying emerging technologies and applying them in innovative ways.
• Experience in modelling power converter designs using simulation tools such as PSIM, Matlab and Spice.
• Minimum of 3 years of industry or university research experience in power electronics design, analysis, test, and troubleshooting. More experienced candidates are also encouraged to apply.
• Very strong analytical skills and detail-oriented.
• Experience in power topologies such as LLC, DAB, multi-level converters including PFC (single phase and three phase) and associated soft switching techniques.
• Master's or PhD in power electronics.
• Experience in implementing digital control designs in microcontrollers, DSPs and/or FPGAs.
• Strong experience in advanced modulation strategies used for loss minimization, including those for soft-switching (ZVS/ZCS).
• Knowledge of industry standards such as UL 1741, IEEE 1547 and NEC code for renewable energy is a plus.
• Ability to analyze and optimize circuits and designs for cost.
• Experience in renewable product development
• Demonstrated self-starter with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced global design and manufacturing environment.
• Master of Science (MS) degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
• Demonstrated the ability to transition from theoretical to implementation-based thinking.
• Extensive industry experience designing successful power electronics products from concept through schematic, layout, manufacturing, test, and deployment.
