Your innovative designs will play a critical role in powering a wide range of electronic devices and systems, from portable electronics to high-power industrial applications.
Responsibilities:
* Power Supply Design: Lead the end-to-end design process for DC-DC, AC-DC, and DC-AC Converters and Inverters, from conceptualization to product realisation. Employ state-of-the-art design techniques and technologies to achieve high efficiency, reliability, and performance.
* Technical Expertise: Demonstrate deep expertise in power electronics and power supply design principles. Analyze system requirements and specifications to develop efficient and cost-effective solutions that meet or exceed industry standards.
* Simulation and Prototyping: Utilize simulation tools like SPICE, PLECS, or other relevant software to model and analyze power supply circuits. Design and build prototypes to validate the performance of the designs and make necessary improvements.
* Component Selection: Collaborate with the procurement team to select appropriate components, including semiconductors, magnetics, and passive components, considering factors such as efficiency, cost, and availability.
* Design Validation: Conduct rigorous testing and validation of the power supply designs to ensure compliance with safety standards, EMC/EMI regulations, and other relevant industry specifications.
* Failure Analysis: Investigate and resolve any issues related to power supply performance, efficiency, or reliability, using analytical tools and methods to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
* Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware and software engineers, to integrate power supply designs into larger systems and products.
* Documentation: Create detailed design documentation, including schematics, layout guidelines, and design specifications, to facilitate the smooth transition from design to manufacturing.
* Research and Innovation: Stay abreast of the latest trends and advancements in power electronics and power supply design. Continuously seek opportunities to improve existing designs and propose innovative solutions.
* Mentoring and Leadership: Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering their technical growth and ensuring best practices are followed throughout the design process.
Requirements:
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. A Ph.D. is a plus.
* Proven track record of at least 5-8 years of experience in power supply design, with a focus on DC-DC, AC-DC, and DC-AC converters and inverters.
* In-depth knowledge of power electronics, including power semiconductors, magnetics, and control techniques.
* Strong experience with simulation tools (SPICE, PLECS, etc.) and power supply design software (e.g., Altium, Cadence).
* Familiarity with industry standards and regulations related to power supply design, such as IEEE, IEC, and UL.
* Proficiency in using lab equipment for testing and validation purposes.
* Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex power supply issues.
* Strong analytical and technical leadership capabilities, with a track record of leading successful projects.
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.
