Power Electronics Engineer

Job Title: Power Electronics Engineer

We are currently seeking a Hardware Power Electronics Engineer to join our development team to help expand our product offering. Our ideal candidate has strong experience in IGBT, Silicon Carbide MOSFET and GaN power conversion design.

• Design and develop next-generation power electronics hardware for solar, energy storage, EV charging, and test applications using SiC and GaN MOSFET technologies.
• Develop high-frequency bidirectional DC‑DC converters, AC‑DC grid‑tie inverters, and resonant converter topologies.
• Lead the full product development lifecycle from initial concept and architecture through detailed design, prototyping, testing, and productization.
• Create and implement innovative digital control algorithms for power converters and control systems.
• Design and optimize magnetic components, including high-frequency inductors and transformers, to meet performance, efficiency, and thermal requirements.
• Collaborate closely with PCB layout designers to realize high-density, high-voltage power designs that meet EMI/EMC and thermal constraints.
• Achieve UL and CE compliance for power electronic products by incorporating safety, isolation, and protection requirements into the design.
• Lead EMC compliance activities, including filter design, test planning, debugging, and design improvements to meet regulatory requirements.
• Apply strong understanding of high-frequency power stages, filtering, circuit protection, thermal management, and EMI/EMC considerations throughout the design.
• Use tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape/Sim Power Systems to model, simulate, and optimize power converter performance and control.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Strong experience in power electronics design.
• Solid understanding of basic physics and electronics.
• Strong understanding of high frequency power stages, filtering, circuit protection, thermal and EMI/EMC considerations.
• Strong MATLAB/Simulink/SIM‑Power Systems skills.
• Product development process experience a must.
• Minimum 2 years of related experience with power electronics and control systems design.

• Master’s Degree in power electronics with more than 5 years of industry experience with power converter development as either NPD or R&D engineer.
• 5 years of experience in design, testing, and debugging of DC‑DC or 3‑phase AC‑DC converters with voltage range 400‑900V and power levels > 2kW.
• Experience in design and selection of power semiconductor parts, cooling mechanisms, passive components, protection circuits, and sensing circuits.
• Understanding of PCB layout design for high voltages.
• Familiarity with UL1741 standards.
• Familiarity with typical safety/EMI standards for power converter systems.
• Familiarity with EMC requirements and filter design.
• Understanding of hardware‑mechanical interface as well as hardware‑software interface.
• Understanding of fundamental analytical equations of high-frequency inductor and transformer design.
