Hardware Engineering
About the Role
We are looking for a skilled
Power Electronics Engineer
to join our hardware development team with a focus on the design, prototyping, and validation of
high-efficiency battery charger systems . You will be responsible for architecting robust power conversion topologies, selecting components, and ensuring regulatory compliance for chargers integrated into our next- battery-powered products.
You will work closely with embedded firmware developers, battery management system engineers, and product teams to deliver reliable and scalable charger solutions for mass production.
Key Responsibilities
Design, simulate, and validate
AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion topologies
(e.g., flyback, LLC, buck, boost, PFC).
Develop and optimize
battery charging circuits
for lithium-based chemistries and across various voltage and current ranges.
Select power components (MOSFETs, IGBTs, magnetics, capacitors, gate drivers) based on efficiency, thermal performance, and cost trade-offs.
Demonstrated experience with
GaN or SiC power semiconductors
in charger or power supply development.
Lead schematic design, PCB layout reviews, and component derating for charger hardware.
Collaborate with firmware engineers on
real-time control loops , current limiting, fault detection, and thermal management strategies.
Conduct laboratory validation, stress testing, and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) reviews.
Ensure compliance with
EMI/EMC, safety , and
regulatory standards
(UL, IEC, ISO).
Support integration of charging systems with Battery Management Systems (BMS) and overall product architecture.
Job requirements
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
3+ years
of experience in
power electronics design , with a focus on
battery charger ,
power supply development or
inverter design
Strong proficiency in simulation tools (e.g.,
LTspice, PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink ).
Hands-on experience with
switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)
and
digital/analog control
of converters.
Familiarity with
thermal design ,
PCB layout best practices , and
power stage protection circuits .
Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, power analyzers, electronic loads, and thermal chambers.
Qualifications
Experience in systems over 60V and
multi-kW
charger design.
Background in
EV charging ,
robotics ,
drones , or
industrial energy systems .
Knowledge of
functional safety ,
isolation requirements , and
fail-safe system design .
Exposure to
firmware-controlled digital power
systems (DSPs, microcontrollers, FPGAs).
Experience with
design for EMC
and
compliance testing .
We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every single qualification.
Location Policy
We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations.
