Power Electronics Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Generate Functional specifications and a top-level architecture to meet the product specs.

• Design and develop analogue/digital/power electronic circuits and systems for power electronics products.
• Selection, evaluation of electronic components and power devices including IGBTs, MOSFETs, Power Diodes, Thyristors, Transformers, Inductors etc.
• Design gate drivers, protection circuitry, feedback circuitry and work in collaboration with firmware team to implement in product design.
• Implement designs to conform international EMI – EMC & Safety requirements, standards and regulations.
• Design calculations and simulations for electronic components like capacitors, chokes, transformers, power devices, op-amp based circuits, circuit protections and selection of fuses & MCBs, etc.
• Design of auxiliary power supplies for control electronics.
• Support in design of scheme, topology selection, schematics design for product development.
• Update schematics, support to thermal simulations with technical details required for thermal models of the product.
• Guide other power electronics engineers in design implementation, testing and validation for test objectives, review test set-ups and draw conclusions.
• Work collaboratively with Mechanical, PCB, Conformance, Firmware engineers and other Power Electronics engineers to get the design implemented.
• Create Test cases, test plan and test sequence.
• Verify/Test designs, to meet the agreed functional design requirements and conforms to international EMC and safety requirements & regulations.
• Conduct/participate product design and test reviews.
