Key Roles and Responsibilities
- End-to-End Technical Leadership: Lead the development of advanced power converter projects for renewable and datacenter applications from concept through to validated delivery.
- Design & Engineering:
- Design and specify critical power components, including high-power semiconductors (IGBTs, SiC Mosfets), gate drive circuits, high-speed control boards, and magnetic components.
- Perform electrical sizing, circuit modeling, and simulation (switching waveforms, loss modeling, and control loops) to meet efficiency and power density requirements.
- Maintain ownership of engineering artifacts, including SLDs, BOMs, schematics, and design specifications.
- System Integration & Grid Controls:
- Develop and validate complex control algorithms for voltage-source and current-source converters.
- Create models of power electronics for use in grid-level power quality and stability studies (Solar/BESS integration).
- Support system-level integration for datacenter power architectures.
- Validation & Compliance:
- Define and execute product validation test plans, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and system-level performance testing.
- Ensure compliance with regional grid codes, IEEE standards, and global safety certifications (UL, IEC, NEC).
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Interface with customers, sourcing, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability and project requirements.
- Mentor junior engineers and promote a culture of engineering excellence and technical rigor.
Required Qualifications
- Education: Master’s degree (PhD preferred) in Power Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience: Minimum 8–10 years of R&D or engineering experience, with a specific focus on Solar Inverters, BESS, or STATCOM technologies.
- Technical Proficiency:
- Deep expertise in power conversion topologies (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC).
- Strong background in semiconductor device physics, loss modeling, and control theory.
- Proficiency in simulation tools (MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, ETAB) and schematic/layout software (Altium/ORCAD).
- Leadership: Demonstrated experience leading complex engineering projects and mentoring personnel in a global, matrixed organization.
Desired Characteristics
- Technical Depth: Experience in high-frequency PCB design, EMI/EMC optimization, and managing stray inductance/capacitance in switching environments.
- Grid Knowledge: Strong understanding of grid-connected inverter behavior, reactive power compensation, and power quality requirements for renewables.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written skills, with the ability to represent the company in technical forums, standards committees, and customer design reviews.
- Mindset: A self-starter with a strong sense of ownership, high integrity, and a passion for advancing sustainable energy and datacenter infrastructure.
Relocation Assistance Provided: Yes
