Experience designing, simulating, and troubleshooting power electronics systems.
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools, especially for power and mixed-signal designs.
Experience with circuit simulation tools (e.g., SPICE).
Familiarity with system modeling tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, or equivalent).
Understanding of noise-sensitive systems and techniques for minimizing ripple, drift, and interference.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to produce clear and detailed technical documentation.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field required.
5–7 years of experience in power electronics engineering or related fields, ideally involving high-performance, low-noise, or precision hardware systems.
