Job Description:
- Define specifications and requirements for product hardware.
- Conduct hardware design and firmware control reviews with a focus on high-level system integration.
- Monitor development and create test plans to verify electrical, environmental, and functional compliance.
- Lead the design verification and validation tests and own the product life cycle.
- Perform FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) to evaluate reliability and ensure there are no safety or liability concerns related to the product.
- Coordinate and track product development milestones with the project manager and cross-functional teams (CFTs).
- Oversee DFX (Design for Excellence) updates, Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), and product life cycle management.
- Mentor the team on design to ensure that established technical standards are adhered to during product development.
- Research new development concepts to guide future product innovation.
- Identify cost-competitive technological alternatives that are suitable for scaling up.
- Validate design concepts through a combination of circuit simulations and prototyping.
- Prepare documentation, including bills of materials, circuit diagrams, simulations, design-related documents, and FMEAs.
Qualification Required:
- Bachelor/Master’s degree in Power Electronics with Minimum 6+ years of experience in design and development of converters/Inverters.
- Strong understanding of closed-loop control for power converters and compensator design.
- Experience with high-speed or high-power semiconductor devices, specifically power converter designs over 500kVA and in medium-voltage (up to 1.5kV) applications.
- Solid technical knowledge, competence, and system-level design experience.
- Proven track record of managing multiple power electronics projects involving analog and digital electronics as well as control circuitry.
- Experience in EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) filter design and product qualification/compliance testing.
- Familiarity with circuit simulation tools like SIMULINK.
- Skills in derating, FMEA, and reliability analysis.
- Excellent circuit debugging and troubleshooting capabilities.
- Experience in writing technical documents such as hardware requirements, product design specifications, test specifications, and board-level design details.
- Strong knowledge of component selection and system integration.
- Good communication skills in English, both spoken and written.
- Experience mentoring small teams with strong decision-making capabilities and the ability to work effectively in an agile product development model.
We are looking for a Power Electronics Hardware senior professional to support the design, development, and validation of power converters/inverters for grid-connected and renewable energy applications. The role involves hands-on circuit design, simulation, prototyping, testing, reliability analysis, and design documentation in close collaboration with cross-functional teams.
