  • 3+ years in at least 3 of the following areas (coursework, internships, research, and co-ops included):
  • Experience in electric circuit simulation of power electronic converters to estimate the magnitude and phase of noise generation.
  • Expertise in circuit parameter extraction and transfer function, from CAD models and measurement of electric systems.
  • Practical experience in designing filters, chokes, and snubbers to attenuate noise generation and propagation in electric drive systems.
  • Expertise in filter topology, the impact of filter parasitic inductance, and capacitance on filter frequency response.
  • Experience in component selection, durability, and cost impact of various filter and snubber topology.
  • Knowledge in semiconductor devices and correlation between semiconductor switching process and high frequency noise generation.
  • Expertise in double pulse test procedure, to quantify semiconductor switching related noise generation, ability to quantify common and differential mode noise during switching, and mapping the propagation path of the corresponding noise.
  • Expertise in high-speed time domain signal acquisition and analysis using oscilloscopes, passive probes, and optical differential probes for high-voltage power electronic and low-voltage systems.
  • Expertise in frequency domain signal acquisition and analysis using network and spectrum analyzers, high-frequency EMC probes, and signal filtering techniques.
  • Knowledge in PCB design and layout for prototyping filter design for high-power applications.
  • Basic knowledge in active filter design and for low power applications.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • MATLAB, PLECS, Simplorer, SPICE, Fusion 360, Altium, KiCAD.
  • Adept with laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, probes, network analyzers, and HV power supplies.
  • Basic knowledge in semiconductor classification and operation.
  • Knowledge in high voltage systems and high-temperature circuit design to integrate filtering solutions with power semiconductor packaging.
  • Understanding automotive applications and requirements.
  • Experience in material and capital purchasing.
  • Experience in project management tools.
  • Strong verbal and presentation skills to ensure effective communication with technical and management teams.
  • Self-motivated individual with strong intrapersonal skills.
