* Define system architectures, topologies, and control strategies for high-efficiency power conversion.
* Conduct circuit simulation, PCB layout design, and thermal management analysis to optimize performance.
* Drive component selection and ensure compliance with relevant industry standards (IEC, UL, automotive, aerospace, etc.).
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate power electronics into larger systems.
* Perform hardware validation, testing, and troubleshooting to improve system reliability.
* Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers.
* Stay at the forefront of emerging power semiconductor technologies and industry trends.
Requirements
* Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or related field.
* 10+ years of experience in power electronics design, focusing on DC/DC, AC/DC, and DC/AC conversion.
* Extensive expertise in SiC and GaN-based power electronics for high-efficiency designs.
* Strong proficiency in LTSpice, PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink, Altium, or similar tools.
* Experience with high-frequency switching, EMI/EMC compliance, and thermal management.
* Hands-on experience with PCB layout design for high-power circuits.
* Deep understanding of control algorithms for power converters (digital and analog).
* Familiarity with power magnetics, gate drivers, and high-voltage isolation techniques.
* Proven track record of leading projects from concept to production.
* Experience in automotive, aerospace, industrial, or renewable energy applications.
* Experience in digital control implementations (DSP, FPGA, Microcontrollers).
* Exposure to SiC and GaN packaging, thermal modeling, and lifetime estimation.
Why Join our client?
* Work on cutting-edge wide-bandgap power electronics technology.
* Contribute to next-generation clean energy solutions.
