    • AC‑DC, DC‑DC, on-board chargers, DCDC converters
    • Inverters, SMPS, PFC, DAB, LL resonant topologies
  • Support system modeling, efficiency tuning, EMI/EMC compliance, thermal optimization, and protection schemes.
  • Recommend appropriate power devices (MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC/GaN) and gate‑driver strategies.

3. Motor Control Expertise

  • Support motor control for BLDC, PMSM, induction motors and SRM use cases.
  • Configure and tune FOC (Field-Oriented Control), sensorless control, and advanced control loops.
  • Work with MCU/MPU/NPU-based motor control platforms for EV traction, robotics, whitegoods, industrial drives, HVAC, and mobility solutions.

4. Technical Documentation & Collateral Development

  • Develop application notes, schematics, design guidelines, reference designs, and customer kits.
  • Create training material and deliver workshops to customers, channel partners, and internal teams.
  • Provide technical insights to improve documentation and support materials.

5. Collaboration with Global Engineering Teams

  • Act as the technical bridge between India customers and global R&D / product teams.
  • Provide field feedback for product roadmap, feature improvements, and bug resolution.
  • Support evaluation platform creation, firmware releases, and silicon validation.

6. Pre‑Sales & Post‑Sales Technical Enablement

  • Partner with Business Development and Sales teams to influence early architecture decisions.
  • Present product advantages, benchmarks, competitive comparisons, and solution differentiation.
  • Support PoCs, prototypes, and performance evaluations at customer sites.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 7–12+ years of experience in power electronics, motor control, or applications engineering.
  • Strong expertise in:
    • Power supplies, converters, inverters, and high‑voltage design
    • BLDC/PMSM motor control, FOC, PWM strategies, gate drive tuning
    • MCU/MPU/dSPIC/ARM Cortex microcontrollers for real-time control
    • Power semiconductor devices (MOSFET, IGBT, SiC/GaN)
  • Hands‑on experience with:
    • Oscilloscopes, power analyzers, current probes
    • Motor tuning platforms, simulation tools (MATLAB/Simulink, PSIM, LTspice)
    • Hardware bring‑up, debugging, EMI/EMC analysis

Soft Skills

  • Strong customer‑facing communication and presentation skills.
  • Ability to work across cross‑functional teams and manage multiple projects.
  • Problem-solving mindset with excellent attention to detail.
  • Ability to simplify complex concepts for non‑technical stakeholders.

Education

  • B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Electronics, or related fields.

Additional certifications in power electronics or motor control are a plus
