Description
POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The ideal candidate for the position is someone with experience withpower electronicsdevelopment and who can own product development through all stages of conception, prototype, and productization. In this role, you will work closely with a talented engineering team in a fast-paced environment to apply emerging technologies in innovative ways to rapidly produce new products.
Responsibilities
Leadpower electronics hardwaredesign in support of new product development.
Work effectively with cross-functional teams to resolve early (architectural) and late (lab,test& validation) challenges on fast timelines.
Design and implement switching stages for DC/DC,AC/DCand DC/AC conversion circuitry.
Design switching circuitry with wide band-gap devices (GaN, SiC).
Optimize converter topologies for loss and cost minimization, and develop new topologies.
Design power magnetics.
Collaborate with control and firmware engineers for control validation on hardware prototypes
Some travel is expected.
Required Qualifications
Master of Science (MS) degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
Minimum of 3 years of industry or university research experience inpower electronicsdesign, analysis,test, and troubleshooting. More experienced candidates are also encouraged to apply.
Experience in powertopologies such as LLC, DAB, multi-levelconverters including PFC (single phase and three phase) and associated soft switching techniques.
Experience in modelling power converter designs using simulation tools such as PSIM,Matlaband Spice.
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).
Experience in planning and implementing HW and FW verification during product development, to ensure the design meets specifications and requirements.
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.
Ability to analyze and optimize circuits and designs for cost.
Demonstrated self-starter with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced global design and manufacturing environment.
Demonstrated the ability to transition from theoretical to implementation-based thinking.
Experience studying emerging technologies and applying them in innovative ways.
Very strong analytical skills and detail-oriented.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Qualifications
Master's or PhD inpower electronics.
Experience in renewable product development
Extensive industry experience designing successfulpower electronicsproducts from concept through schematic, layout, manufacturing,test, and deployment.
Experience with full product development process including EMI/EMCtesting, certification processes, failure analysis, etc.
Experience working with x-functional teams: mechanical, software, and test.
Knowledge of industry standards such as UL 1741, IEEE 1547 and NEC code for renewable energy is a plus.
