• Evaluating advanced circuit designs for high-performance power electronic converters.
• Defining requirements and specifications for digital controllers (MCU, DSP, FPGA) to ensure robust implementation in power converter systems.
• Conducting circuit modeling and simulations (LTspice, PSIM, Simulink, or equivalent) to validate and optimize the converter designs.
• Actively participate in PCB layout design for power electronic converters, ensuring reliability, manufacturability, and safety compliance, with expertise in tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, or equivalent.
• Applying expertise in magnetic components design.
• Designing and implementing high-bandwidth digital controllers for prototype power converters and developing bare-metal software in C/C++ for embedded system prototypes.
• Ensuring compliance with Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and EMC regulations (CE marking process).
• Supporting system-level design, prototyping, and validation, including PHIL system integration.
• Providing technical guidance to junior engineers and sharing knowledge with peers.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS (MINIMUM)

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or equivalent qualification.
• 7+ years of experience in power electronic converters design and development.

Expertise in:

• Low-voltage (<1500>25 kW) power electronic converters design.
• Analog and digital circuit design (measurement and signal conditioning circuits, hardware protection circuits).
• Simulation tools (Pspice, LTspice, PSIM, PLECS, Simulink).
• Expertise in development of power electronic converters, including:
• Multi-stage, ac/ac, ac/dc, dc/dc, dc/ac power electronic converters.
• SST-based power converters concepts.
• Expertise in using wide-bandgap devices (SiC MOSFETs, GaN HEMTs) in power electronic systems.
• Experience in PCB layout design for high-power power electronic converters, using professional EDA tools (Altium Designer is preferred).
• Experience in thermal management in high-power power electronic converters.
• Experience in magnetic components design, and related EMI/EMC considerations.
• Experience in high-bandwidth controller and power converter design for PHIL or real-time systems.
• Experience in bare-metal software development for embedded controllers.
• Experience in LVD and EMC compliance for power electronic converters.
• Experience in testing, validation, and certification of power converter systems.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Familiarity with real-time simulator platforms (e.g., Opal-RT, Typhoon HIL, RTDS).
• Expertise in digital control algorithms (PID control, predictive control, state machines).
• Proven ability to innovate and solve complex technical challenges.
• Familiarity with grid code compliance requirements.
• Experience in high-frequency PCB design (up to 10 GHz).
