Key Responsibilities
- Circuit Design: Design and simulate power stages including AC-DC, DC-DC, and DC-AC converters.
- Component Selection: Select and characterize power semiconductors (IGBTs, MOSFETs, SiC, GaN), inductors, and capacitors.
- PCB Design: Create high-power PCB layouts with a focus on signal integrity, thermal management, and EMI/EMC compliance.
- Control Systems: Develop and implement control algorithms for power conversion using microcontrollers or DSPs.
- Testing & Validation: Perform hands-on debugging, thermal testing, and efficiency measurements in a lab environment.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Tools: Proficiency in simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink, PSpice, or PLECS.
- Hardware: Strong experience with PCB design software (Altium, Eagle, or KiCad).
- Knowledge: Deep understanding of switching topologies (Buck, Boost, Flyback, Resonant converters).
- Analytical: Ability to perform worst-case analysis and thermal simulations.
