Power Electronics Engineer

Job Duties and Responsibilities Own end-to-end design of power converters, and power management and control circuits, from concept and architecture definition to schematic, printed circuit board (PCB) design, testing, qualification, production transition and production support. Perform detailed and complete schematic design for low to high complexity power electronics designs, ranging from single power converters to multi-output power supply modules and power management circuitry. Perform detailed PCB layout in Altium Designer independently or in collaboration with a PCB Drafter. Perform modeling and analysis of analog and power electronics designs including worst-case circuit analysis, stress analysis, small signal and stability analysis, power loss and efficiency optimization analysis, and power integrity analysis.Develop design verification test plans, requirement compliance matrices, system integration and qualification test plans, and production acceptance test plans for power converters and power supply designs.Perform bring-up and design verification testing of power electronics circuits and modules, often working with a technician or junior engineer to complete design verification.Collaborate with multi-discipline engineering team and lead system integration and qualification campaigns, and release analog and power electronics designs to production. Mentor junior engineers to build technical understanding and foster professional development of team. Perform research and keep up with new power electronics technology and industry trends to drive innovation and generation of intellectual property. Requirements: Bachelor of Science (BS) degree or higher in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university. Minimum of 6 years of industry or university research experience in board-level power electronics design, analysis, and test. Experience owning the design phase of power electronics or power subsystems, including power architecture and requirements definition, trade studies, power converter and analog electronics design, component selection, and detailed design. Experience performing or guiding complex PCB layout for analog and power electronics. Experience with analysis and simulation tools such as SPICE, LTSPICE, SIMetrix/SIMPLIS, PLECS, Simulink, MATLAB, or MathCAD Strong laboratory testing and troubleshooting experience for prototyping, design verification testing and qualification of analog and power electronics hardware. Direct experience designing high-reliability electronics for automotive, space or defense applications, including part derating, worst-case analysis, and thermal constraints. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
