  • Ability to analyze complex (electro-mechanical) system behaviors to include common mode, harmonics, ground currents, transient and steady-state operational modes when controlling various DC-DC converter cirucuit and 3-phase motor load types; able to identify parasitic parameters like stray capacitance to ground.
  • Strong working knowledge of Matlab, Simulink and ability to create plant-models for OPAL-RT based Hardware in the Loop (HIL) simulators; PLECS and Simplorer expertise is a plus.
  • Able to troubleshoot field issues via system analysis and lab testing; design countermeasure to improve system quality (filter / snubber design)

What will your typical day look like?

The Senior Power Systems Engineer will focus efforts on IGBT-based inverter and converter topologies for our products and own design efforts for necessary subcomponents to include capacitors, bus bars, gate drivers, control software, chopper modules, rectifier/diode optimizations and other component needs to align to our strategic visions. The candidate will have direct interactions with our Senior VPs of Technology and will be responsible for conceptualizing ideas into real products. The candidate will also have a strong ability to mentor and coach peers to build bench strength within the organization and ensures technical quality excellence, timely completion of work and responsiveness to customer/program needs.
