About The Position

Our employees deliver mission-critical solutions to our customers' most challenging energy management requirements. Work with cross-functional business team to define requirements and architecture for new products including SiC three-phase UPS's from 500kW to 2.5MW, AI load-smoothing products, datacenter of the future subsystems and Lithium Ion 1MW and larger energy storage systems. Provide SME input to detailed designs of 480Vac three-phase AC rectifier/inverter, 400Vdc-1500Vdc DC-DC converters and battery chargers including power train, gate drive, feedback control loop, voltage and current sense, EMI and protection circuit designs. Work with global product development teams to solve problems related to performance, functionality, safety, reliability, quality and component availability. Own technical leadership and collaborate with multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural globally distributed teams, provide technical direction and mentor younger engineers. Lead the CPS business technology roadmaps, aligned to 5-year strategic plans and business objectives. Lead the engagements with Corporate Research Labs, Centers of Excellence, and University research institutions to align low-TRL technologies into product development technology roadmaps

Requirements

• Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.
• Minimum of ten (10) years work experience in low and medium voltage power conversion and power systems engineering
• Minimum of ten (10) years work experience in related areas, such as Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, energy storages and grid connected converters, medium voltage motor drive technology, driver/converter topologies, high-power electronics, electric machines and controls
• Minimum of ten (10) years of work experience in modeling power converters and power systems using simulation tools
• PH.D. in Electrical Engineering from accredited institution
• Experience and knowledge of datacenter power distribution architecture, and how UPS's operate to keep datacenters powered at all times.
