Power Electronic Engineer - PSSD
- Design and develop converter topologies, including multilevel circuits and selection of switching devices such as IGBTs, SiC MOSFETs, or GaN transistors, ensuring compatibility with high-power applications.
- Optimize converter designs for maximum efficiency, minimized harmonic distortion, and robust high-voltage operation through simulation, analysis, and iterative refinement.
- Lead prototyping efforts, including hardware assembly, integration of components, and hands-on troubleshooting to validate designs in lab and field environments.
- Conduct detailed simulations and modeling using tools like MATLAB/Simulink, LTSpice, or PLECS to predict system performance, thermal behavior, and electromagnetic compatibility.
- Collaborate with control systems, mechanical, and test engineers to integrate power electronics into larger systems, addressing challenges like fault protection, cooling, and scalability.
- Perform root cause analysis on design issues, implement corrective actions, and ensure compliance with industry standards such as IEEE, IEC, and UL for safety and performance.
- Mentor junior team members, provide technical guidance, and contribute to project planning, including resource allocation and milestone tracking.
- Manage component obsolescence issues of existing hardware platforms.
- Stay abreast of emerging technologies in power electronics, such as wide-bandgap semiconductors and advanced modulation techniques, to inform design decisions.
- Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations for internal stakeholders and external partners.
- Support internal audits and enforce adherence to documented policies and procedures to uphold quality of designs.
- “Hands on” ability to breadboard and test new designs and troubleshoot production problems.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.
- At least 7 years of professional experience in power electronics design, with a focus on multilevel converter topologies and high-voltage systems.
- Proven expertise in designing multilevel converters (e.g., MMC, CHB) and working with power semiconductors like Si IGBTs or wide-bandgap semiconductors.
- Strong proficiency in simulation and design tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE-based software) and hardware prototyping techniques.
- Demonstrated ability to optimize designs for efficiency, harmonics reduction, and high-voltage performance.
- Experience leading hardware integration and prototyping projects from concept to validation.
- Solid understanding of electromagnetic interference (EMI), thermal management, and power loss calculations.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively in a team setting.
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, for technical reporting and team coordination.
- Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Power Electronics or Power Systems.
- 10+ years of experience in the field, including leadership roles in product development for FACTS devices, HVDC, or renewable integration systems.
- Familiarity with advanced control strategies, such as model predictive control or PWM techniques for multilevel converters.
- Experience with embedded systems, FPGA/DSP programming, or real-time control implementation.
- Knowledge of regulatory compliance and certification processes for high-power equipment.
- Prior involvement in patent filings or publications related to power electronics innovations.
- Proficiency in CAD tools for PCB layout (e.g., Altium Designer) and mechanical integration software.
