Job description

Job Summary :

  • The Power Electronics Engineer will play a pivotal role in the design, development, and optimization of advanced power conversion systems, focusing on multilevel converter technologies for applications in renewable energy, grid infrastructure, and high-voltage systems.
  • This position requires a seasoned expert to lead technical efforts in topology design, efficiency enhancement, and hardware integration, while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions that meet stringent performance, reliability, and regulatory standards.
  • The ideal candidate will drive prototyping initiatives, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to the overall success of power electronics projects in a dynamic engineering environment.

Essential Functions :

  • Design and develop converter topologies, including multilevel circuits and selection of switching devices such as IGBTs, SiC MOSFETs, or GaN transistors, ensuring compatibility with high-power applications.
  • Optimize converter designs for maximum efficiency, minimized harmonic distortion, and robust high-voltage operation through simulation, analysis, and iterative refinement.
  • Lead prototyping efforts, including hardware assembly, integration of components, and hands-on troubleshooting to validate designs in lab and field environments.
  • Conduct detailed simulations and modeling using tools like MATLAB / Simulink, LTSpice, or PLECS to predict system performance, thermal behavior, and electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Collaborate with control systems, mechanical, and test engineers to integrate power electronics into larger systems, addressing challenges like fault protection, cooling, and scalability.
  • Perform root cause analysis on design issues, implement corrective actions, and ensure compliance with industry standards such as IEEE, IEC, and UL for safety and performance.
  • Mentor junior team members, provide technical guidance, and contribute to project planning, including resource allocation and milestone tracking.
  • Manage component obsolescence issues of existing hardware platforms.
  • Stay abreast of emerging technologies in power electronics, such as wide-bandgap semiconductors and advanced modulation techniques, to inform design decisions.
  • Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations for internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • Support internal audits and enforce adherence to documented policies and procedures to uphold quality of designs. “Hands on” ability to breadboard and test new designs and troubleshoot production problems.

    • Minimum Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.
  • At least 7 years of professional experience in power electronics design, with a focus on multilevel converter topologies and high-voltage systems.
  • Proven expertise in designing multilevel converters (e.g., MMC, CHB) and working with power semiconductors like Si IGBTs or wide-bandgap semiconductors.
  • Strong proficiency in simulation and design tools (e.g., MATLAB / Simulink, SPICE-based software) and hardware prototyping techniques.
  • Demonstrated ability to optimize designs for efficiency, harmonics reduction, and high-voltage performance.
  • Experience leading hardware integration and prototyping projects from concept to validation.
  • Solid understanding of electromagnetic interference (EMI), thermal management, and power loss calculations.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively in a team setting.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, for technical reporting and team coordination.

    • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Power Electronics or Power Systems. 10+ years of experience in the field, including leadership roles in product development for FACTS devices, HVDC, or renewable integration systems.
  • Familiarity with advanced control strategies, such as model predictive control or PWM techniques for multilevel converters.
  • Experience with embedded systems, FPGA / DSP programming, or real-time control implementation.
  • Knowledge of regulatory compliance and certification processes for high-power equipment.
  • Prior involvement in patent filings or publications related to power electronics innovations.
  • Proficiency in CAD tools for PCB layout (e.g., Altium Designer) and mechanical integration software.
