Power Electronics Application Engineer
About The Position
The Power Electronics Application Engineer will provide pre-sales and post-sales technical support for power supply and power conversion products. This role involves analyzing customer requirements, recommending appropriate power solutions, and assisting customers with product selection, system integration, and design optimization. The engineer will also support customer qualification testing and resolve field application issues. Additionally, the role includes developing reference designs, evaluation platforms, and application notes, creating and validating customer-specific solutions using various power technologies, and performing circuit simulation and performance verification. The engineer will also be responsible for product validation, troubleshooting, conducting various tests (electrical, thermal, EMC/EMI, reliability, performance), debugging hardware and system-level issues, and supporting root-cause analysis of customer returns and field failures. Collaboration with design engineering teams to implement corrective actions is also a key part of the role. Furthermore, the engineer will support technical sales by delivering presentations, product demonstrations, and training, participating in design reviews, and assisting with RFI/RFQ activities. Cross-functional collaboration with design, quality, manufacturing, and product management teams is essential, including providing feedback for future product development and supporting new product introduction.
