Senior Power Electronics Engineer
About The Position
We are seeking a Senior Power Electronics Engineer to join our team. This role involves evaluating power circuit topologies for optimal cost/performance trade-offs in new product development, performing circuit simulation, analysis, and testing to verify designs. The engineer will conduct design validation through functional, safety, and reliability tests, create test plans, document results, and drive change orders. Responsibilities also include mentoring lab technicians and junior engineers, performing failure analysis on field return units, and supporting customers with application-related issues. The role requires designing to meet cost constraints, safety, and reliability standards.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree from a four-year college or university/advanced degree or certificate
- More than five years of related experience (or equivalent combination of education, training and experience)
- Hands-on experience with designing, debugging, and testing of power converters, including magnetics and control loop design.
