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).
Hands-on experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad)
Demonstrated ability to perform detailed thermal management and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design considerations.
Experience with regulatory compliance standards for power electronics (e.g., UL, CE, CCC).
Excellent problem-solving skills and a strong analytical mindset.
Effective communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to lead and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team.
Experience in consumer electronics or high-volume manufacturing environments is a plus.
