Title:

Project Engineer – Power Conversion Hardware

Location:

Mequon, WI, USA. On‑site.

• Design power hardware for AC motor drives – rectifiers/inverters, switch‑mode power supplies, magnetics, voltage and current sensing, gate drivers, EMC filters, transient protection, and signal conditioning circuits.
• Apply simulation tools to model, design and troubleshoot complex power electronics circuits.
• Develop product simulation models to support field engineers and customer applications.
• Apply software tools to design high‑voltage printed circuit boards observing engineering and manufacturing requirements.
• Troubleshoot complex field issues and identify causes of failure.
• Follow technology advancements in power electronics, components, design and simulation tools, and application trends.
• Build relationships with vendors of critical components such as semiconductors, magnetics, and capacitors.
• Apply global regulatory and certification standards on electrical and functional safety, EMC, and harmonics governing current product design and new applications.
• Participate in standards committees and stay up‑to‑date on trends that impact product design and compliance.
• Participate as a member of the hardware development team to promote innovation, continuous improvement to design processes, and improve predictability and responsiveness of the team.

• Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant field.
