About the role
Our client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead Power Electronics Engineer to drive the design, development, and optimization of cutting-edge power electronics solutions for our innovative product range.
What You Will Do
•
Lead the entire power electronics development lifecycle, from concept and specification through design, simulation, prototyping, testing, and mass production support.
•
Architect and design power conversion systems (e.g., AC/DC, DC/DC, inverters) for various applications, focusing on efficiency, power density, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
•
Conduct detailed circuit analysis, component selection, and worst-case analysis to ensure robust and compliant designs.
•
Perform power loss calculations, thermal analysis, and implement appropriate cooling solutions.
•
Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for power electronics hardware, including functional, performance, reliability, and compliance testing.
•
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including mechanical, firmware, and industrial design engineers to integrate power electronics into overall product architecture.
•
Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior power electronics engineers.
•
Stay abreast of emerging power electronics technologies, industry trends, and regulatory requirements.
•
Manage project timelines, resources, and deliverables for power electronics initiatives.
•
Identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the development process.
What You Will Bring
•
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
•
Minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in power electronics design and development, with at least 3 years in a leadership or senior engineering role.
•
Proven expertise in designing and developing various power converter topologies (e.g., flyback, buck, boost, LLC, resonant converters, PFC).
•
Strong understanding of power semiconductor devices (e.g., MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaN, SiC), their characteristics, and application.
•
Proficiency in power electronics simulation tools (e.g., SPICE, PSIM, PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink).
