Architect and design high power dc and ac systems for PV power systems, EV chargers, and power storage systems
Design and develop advanced soft switching from sub-KW to tens of KWs at a voltage range of 100V to 1KV
Responsible for all aspects of product design, including specification, modeling, material selection, thermal design, regulatory and compliance considerations, and DFM
Experience with Size Weight and Power optimization.
Experience with integrated components and small form factor magnetics
Hands-on experience with building high-frequency inductors and transformers as well as working closely with vendors to build prototypes as well as mass production
Experience with magnetic field simulation using packages such as Maxwell Ansys
Model power designs using analysis tools such as PSIM, Matlab, and Spice. Expertise in power circuit analysis, such as worst-case circuit analysis, failure method effectivity and criticality, and reliability
Proficiency in electronics design (EDA) tools such as Altium
Proficiency in PCB layout for power circuits
Extensive hands-on experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, RLC analyzers, impedance analyzers, spectrum analyzers, electronic (AC/DC) loads, and signal/power generators
Ability to analyze and optimize circuits and designs for cost
Demonstrated self-starter with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced global automotive design and manufacturing environment
Demonstrated the ability to transition from theoretical to implementation-based thinking
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Master or Ph.D. in Power Electronics
Experience in renewable product development
Experience in designing magnetics for power topologies such as LLC, phase-shifted full bridge, flyback, forward, and multi-level converters including PFC (single phase and three phases) and associated techniques such as ZVS/ZCS
Experience with the full product development process including EMI/EMC testing, certification processes, failure analysis, etc.
Prior experience in designing and building power magnetics running at high (several hundreds of kHz) switching frequency
Knowledge of industry standards such as UL 1741, and IEEE 1547 for renewable energy is a plus
Experience studying emerging technologies and applying them in innovative ways
