This role focuses on developing innovative power conversion solutions for industrial, medical, and research applications. You will lead the product development process from concept to high-volume production.

- Assess customer/project requirements and select appropriate DC/AC and DC/DC topologies.

- Lead design and engineering analysis from initial planning through development and testing.

- Develop advanced power electronics, including converters and inverters, utilizing medium to high-power switching components (hundreds of kW) and related protection/gating circuitry.

- Select semiconductor switching devices and passive components for converter power circuits.

- Conduct verification testing and performance evaluations on new designs and products.

- Analyze switching behavior and transient characteristics for optimal device operation.

- Perform modeling, simulation, and control loop analysis to enhance design performance.

- Optimize designs for efficiency, density, and cost-effectiveness.

- Lead design reviews and ensure compliance with the New Product Introduction (NPI) process.

- Build and debug prototype circuits in a laboratory environment.

- Conduct electrical characterization, design validation, and qualification testing.

- Oversee product introduction into manufacturing and provide technical support for production and field issues.

- Lead cross-functional project teams and coordinate collaboration efforts.

- Prepare invention disclosures to safeguard intellectual property.

- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance.

- Manage contractor collaborations, track project timelines, and report progress to leadership.

- BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering with a focus on power electronics; PhD is a plus.

- 8+ years of industry experience in power electronics design and development.

- Strong expertise in power inverter operation and design.

- Deep understanding of 3-phase power systems.

- Proven ability to debug power electronics circuits.

- Experience with space vector, sinusoidal, and discontinuous PWM schemes.

- Strong knowledge of digital, analog, and power electronics circuit design, testing, and debugging.

- Hands-on experience with power electronics test equipment (oscilloscope, electronic load, power sources, probes).

- Expertise in SiC and GaN device-based power converter designs.

- Proficiency in circuit simulation tools (Matlab Simulink, PLECS, LTSpice).

- Excellent communication, presentation, and technical writing skills.

- Self-motivated, detail-oriented team player with strong problem-solving abilities.

- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and drive them to completion.

- Strong report-writing skills, including test result documentation and presentation to management.

- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.

- Experience in power electronic circuit design using Altium (schematic and layout development, BOM creation).

- Magnetics design and optimization expertise.

- Knowledge of high-frequency magnetics design principles.

- Ability to drive product roadmaps, develop new platforms, and extend power inverter solutions.

- Ability to generate detailed test reports, assess results, and present findings to management.

- Experience in creating high-density PCB layouts with noise and EMI mitigation strategies.

This role requires an innovative, problem-solving mindset with the ability to lead complex projects while mentoring others. If you thrive in a dynamic, technical environment, this position offers the opportunity to drive impactful power electronics solutions.
