Job Description:

Responsibilities:

• Define specifications and requirements for product hardware.
• Conduct hardware design and firmware control reviews with a focus on high-level system integration.
• Monitor development and create test plans to verify electrical, environmental, and functional compliance.
• Perform FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) to evaluate reliability and ensure there are no safety or liability concerns related to the product.
• Coordinate and track product development milestones with the project manager and cross-functional teams (CFTs).
• Oversee DFX (Design for Excellence) updates, Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), and product life cycle management.
• Mentor the team on design to ensure that established technical standards are adhered to during product development.
• Research new development concepts to guide future product innovation.
• Identify cost-competitive technological alternatives that are suitable for scaling up.
• Validate design concepts through a combination of circuit simulations and prototyping.
• Prepare documentation, including bills of materials, circuit diagrams, simulations, design-related documents, and FMEAs.

Desired Qualifications and Skills:

• Master’s degree in Power Electronics with 5+ years of experience.
• Strong understanding of closed-loop control for power converters and compensator design.
• Experience with high-speed or high-power semiconductor devices, specifically power converter designs over 100kVA and in medium voltage applications.
• Solid technical knowledge, competence, and system-level design experience.
• Proven track record of managing multiple power electronics projects involving analog and digital electronics as well as control circuitry.
• Experience in EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) filter design and product qualification/compliance testing.
• Familiarity with circuit simulation tools like SIMULINK.
• Skills in derating, FMEA, and reliability analysis.
• Excellent circuit debugging and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Experience in writing technical documents such as hardware requirements, product design specifications, test specifications, and board-level design details.
• Strong knowledge of component selection and system integration.
• Good communication skills in English, both spoken and written.
• Experience mentoring small teams with strong decision-making capabilities and the ability to work effectively in an agile product development model.

What can you expect:

• Experience with the latest technologies in power converters for applications involving grid connections and renewable energy.
• A supportive environment that enhances your design and debugging skills.
• Collaboration with a team of motivated and enthusiastic engineers.
