1AP is looking for a Senior Power Electronics Engineer to lead the design and development of advanced power conversion systems from concept to production

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in power conversion topologies, digital control implementation, and product development, along with a proven ability to drive projects from initial design through validation and deployment. This is an opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment where innovation and problem-solving are at the core of what we do.

Key Responsibilities
  • Leadpower electronics design in support of new product development.
  • Work effectively with cross-functional teams to resolve early (architectural) and late (lab,test& validation) challenges on fast timelines.
  • Design and implement control algorithms for DC/DC,AC/DCand DC/AC conversion circuitry
  • Develop off-line and on-line simulation models used for early algorithm validation
  • Collaborate with firmware engineers for control algorithm implementation
  • Collaborate with other engineers for control and hardware validation on hardware prototypes
  • Some travel is expected.
  • Other duties as needed.
The Skills You Bring
  • Master of Science (MS) degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
  • Minimum of 7 years of work experience inpower electronicsdesign, analysis,test, and troubleshooting.
  • Minimum of 3 years of industry work experience as power electronics technical lead.
  • Experience in powertopologies such as LLC, DAB, multi-levelconverters including PFC (single phase and three phase) and associated soft switching techniques.
  • Experience in modelling power converter designs using simulation tools such as PSIM,Matlaband Spice.
  • Experience in implementing digital control designs in microcontrollers, DSPs and/or FPGAs.
  • Strong experience in advanced modulation strategies used for loss minimization, including those for soft-switching (ZVS/ZCS).
  • Strong experience in feedback loopcontrollers’ design and their stability and performance optimization.
  • Experience in planning and implementing HW and FW verification during product development, to ensure the design meets specifications and requirements.
  • Expertise in power circuit analysis, such as worst-case circuit analysis, failure method effectiveness and criticality, and reliability.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, RLC analyzers, impedance analyzers, spectrum analyzers, electronic (AC/DC) loads, and signal/power generators.
  • Ability to analyze and optimize circuits and designs for cost.
  • Demonstrated self-starter with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced global design and manufacturing environment.
  • Demonstrated the ability to transition from theoretical to implementation-based thinking.
  • Experience studying emerging technologies and applying them in innovative ways.
  • Very strong analytical skills and detail-oriented.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skillsto work in a fast paced environment.
Nice to Have
  • Extensive industry experience designing successfulpower electronicsproducts from concept through schematic, layout, manufacturing,test, and deployment as project leader.
  • Experience with full product development process including EMI/EMCtesting, certification processes, failure analysis, etc.
  • Experience working with x-functional teams: mechanical, software, and test.
  • Knowledge of industry standards such as UL 1741, IEEE 1547 and NEC code for renewable energy is a plus.
