- Permanent
- Full-time
In your new role you will:
- Develop and test power electronics systems including motor drives, inverters and DC/DC converters.
- Create and optimize PCB layouts using tools such as Cadence Allegro and Altium Designer .
- Perform simulations using Spice , MATLAB/Simulink , PLECS , or Simetrix to validate circuit behavior and system performance.
- Assemble, troubleshoot, and test high-power setups involving power supplies, electronic loads, power analyzers, thermal cameras, dynamometers, and high-voltage/current probes.
- Design, simulate, and evaluate circuits for power electronics applications.
- Characterize semiconductor devices (e.g., MOSFETs) using industry-standard methodologies and equipment; create datasheets and performance metrics.
- Conduct competitive benchmarking of MOSFETs within 3-phase inverter systems, DC/DC converters, and motor drive control schemes (e.g., FOC, trapezoidal control for BLDC and induction motors).
- Document test procedures, results, and recommendations clearly and thoroughly.
- Collaborate with engineers and technicians across cross-functional teams to support product development and innovation.
You are best equipped for this task if you have:
