| Job Description: |
City: Dallas
State: Texas
Successful candidate will be assigned to projects involving the design, development, and production of AC and DC power and frequency converters. Designs will range from 2 to 250KVA and will include three phase, twelve pulse rectification with PFC and 50-800 Hz output frequencies. Required skills will include digital, analog and magnetic circuit design. A strong background in the design of digitally controlled power machines using embedded microcontrollers and DSP technology is required. BSEE (MSEE preferred) with 7+ years directly related experience.
Principal Duties and Areas of Responsibility :
Responsible for performing engineering work and applied research in the development of state of the art power conversion products
Generate new product concepts and perform feasibility studies, including trade-offs, cost analyses, and simulations as required to assess the technical and economic viability of the concepts
Develop detailed engineering specifications for new high power converter products
Perform system level and detailed circuit design of power electronic circuits and associated control and interface circuits to meet the requirement of the engineering specification
Develop and analyze control strategies and algorithms for power converters and either implement the control algorithms using hardware and software techniques or provide detailed algorithm specifications and guidance to software developers responsible for implementation.
Conduct tests, analyze test data, and write test reports to record operating performance and provide data to support product compliance with customer or internal specifications and applicable third party standards.
Keep informed on the latest devices, techniques and technical developments related to power electronics
Qualifications:
A degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering or equivalent and at least 7 years of power conversion design experience. An advanced degree with thesis work in a directly relevant field is an asset and may substitute for some industry experience.
Requires simulation experience using MATLAB and Simulink and extensive design experience using high performance DSP control techniques for three-phase converters and Inverters. Ability to code (or at a minimum review) control algorithms in the C programming language is also required
Design experience with large uninterruptible power supplies or frequency converters using IGBTs is required. Experience with grid-tie inverters and load sharing are an asset
Should have experience with design practices, safe work practices, and experimental techniques used in 480 VAC 3 phase power systems up to 250 KVA |
