Lead Power Electronics Engineer

Our client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead Power Electronics Engineer to drive the design, development, and optimization of cutting-edge power electronics solutions for our innovative product range.

What You Will Do

• Lead the entire power electronics development lifecycle, from concept and specification through design, simulation, prototyping, testing, and mass production support.

• Architect and design power conversion systems (e.g., AC/DC, DC/DC, inverters) for various applications, focusing on efficiency, power density, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

• Conduct detailed circuit analysis, component selection, and worst-case analysis to ensure robust and compliant designs.

• Perform power loss calculations, thermal analysis, and implement appropriate cooling solutions.

• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for power electronics hardware, including functional, performance, reliability, and compliance testing.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including mechanical, firmware, and industrial design engineers to integrate power electronics into overall product architecture.

• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior power electronics engineers.

• Stay abreast of emerging power electronics technologies, industry trends, and regulatory requirements.

• Manage project timelines, resources, and deliverables for power electronics initiatives.

• Identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the development process.

What You Will Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics Engineering, or a related field.

• Minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in power electronics design and development, with at least 3 years in a leadership or senior engineering role.

• Proven expertise in designing and developing various power converter topologies (e.g., flyback, buck, boost, LLC, resonant converters, PFC).

• Strong understanding of power semiconductor devices (e.g., MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaN, SiC), their characteristics, and application.

• Proficiency in power electronics simulation tools (e.g., SPICE, PSIM, PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink).

• Hands-on experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad)

• Demonstrated ability to perform detailed thermal management and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design considerations.

• Experience with regulatory compliance standards for power electronics (e.g., UL, CE, CCC).

• Excellent problem-solving skills and a strong analytical mindset.

• Effective communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to lead and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team.

• Experience in consumer electronics or high-volume manufacturing environments is a plus.
