Job description: The Power-electronics Design Engineer is responsible for design of power-electronics circuits and components associated with power converters, inverters, and motor drives (480V AC, 10hp to 100hp, 100kW to 2 MW). Job requires design of power converters (AC/DC, DC/AC, AC/AC) using MOSFETs, IGBTs, and thyristors; silicon and silicon carbide devices; harmonic and EMI filters, high frequency transformers, high frequency capacitor banks, and selection of protection components. Knowledge of closed-loop control system is a plus. Work with cross-functional team members from product concept through production.
Job involves design and simulation of power electronics circuits using Dymola or Simplorer simulation packages. Design experience of high-power inductors and high-frequency transformers is a plus. Job includes conceptualizing, designing, documenting and procuring the components, and supporting manufacturing and testing.
Position requires an individual who is self-motivated, self-managed, team-oriented, proactive, task oriented, and hands-on, able to overcome obstacles to meet schedule requirements.
Electrical Engineering degree, BSEE (MSEE preferred) with 2+ years related experience required. Desired to have experience with power converters, motor drives, VSDs, inverters, 480V AC to 15kV, kilowatt to megawatt. Familiarity with IEEE, UL, NEMA, ANSI, CEC, MIL, and other standards and qualification testing is a plus. Candidate should be able to handle multiple projects, possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of performing and/or oversee laboratory high power testing, and comfortable in a hands-on product development environment.
