Sr. Engineer II – Power Electronics Hardware

Position Overview

The Sr. Engineer II – Power Electronics Hardware is responsible for electronic hardware design to support in-house development of advanced Powertrain modules. Examples of such modules are Inverters, Powertrain Control Module, Battery Management Module, DC-DC and AC-DC Converters.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop specification/requirement for developing power stage, control board and gate driver board of different modules through cascading the requirement from the design specification.
• Decompose system level requirements to drive component level design requirements.
• This role can include bespoke designs, upgrade of existing designs, and applications engineering.
• Support Powertrain team from specification to design, prototype, and investigation on manufacturing for quality issues and development of a high-performance powertrain.
• Select components for the design and work with suppliers to develop advanced components.
• Optimize designs for system performance, quality, DFM/DFA and cost.
• Lead and participate in Design Reviews.
• Test and debug electrical hardware at circuit board and assembled product level.
• Develop automation testing setup for module level validation.
• Support SW (BSW & ASW) engineers for hardware‐software integration work.
• Other duties, as assigned.

Required Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (PhD preferred)
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• 5+ years of directly related Electrical Engineering experience required (Automotive experience preferred)
• Understanding of global industry standards (IEC, ISO) and trends to provide the latest technology solutions
• Experience in PCBA layout for optimal placement strategies for better manufacturability, power/signal routing and EMC optimization
• Experience in HV Power Electronics engineering and thermal management, such as 400V, and >800V voltage levels and component selections
• Experience in IGBT, Si/SiC, and GaN MOSFET WBG technology and working knowledge with IGBT and MOSFET, gate driver circuit design
