Technical Specialist - Power Electronics

Innovate new products and bring new technologies into product architectures by leading the conception and advanced development of power electronic products including topology forpower conversion using tools such as Matlab/Simulink, schematic diagrams using aided design tools such as Altium or similar, power components such as Loads, and define PCB layout strategy for power electronics using PCB layout design tools such as Altium. Perform validation and performance characterization of prototype samples using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, electronic loads and signal generators. Work with quick turn suppliers to execute the bring-up, debug and characterization of prototypes using oscilloscopes and simulation tools for circuits such as OrCAD Pspice or performing confirmation of Power Integrity simulations with Ansys Simplorer, ADS, Altair or similar. Work with systems, software and mechanical teams to deliver best-in-class performance and write technical test plans and test specifications. Collaborate with mechanical, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to bring the new product into mass production when required by customers. Develop and industrialize the use of new technologies and solutions on power electronics and advance manufacturing. Provide technical leadership, coaching and mentoring to engineering team members to support their development. Develop product hardware/circuit designs to meet customer specifications and requirements and perform Worst Case Circuit Analysis that are required by our customers or for internal quality assurance. Support hardware engineering leads in their design from concept prototype to mass production releases and end of life. Attend design review meetings and provide technical feedback to the team. Prepare technical and cost proposals and make technical presentations of new designs for customers. Telecommuting permitted twice weekly.
