Power Electronics Engineer

The role

You will work on cutting-edge power conversion technologies to develop solutions with high power density, high voltage, and high current. You will translate functional and system requirements into robust power-stage solutions.

What you will do

• Evaluate and develop power conversion topologies for converters
• Design and develop magnetic components such as inductors, transformers, and chokes
• Develop analytical and simulation models to evaluate converter behaviour
• Build prototypes and perform laboratory testing, characterization, verification, troubleshooting, and validation
• Analyse test results and correlate measurements with simulations and calculations

Required qualifications

• University (Higher education) degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field
• Experienced in taking power-stage designs from initial concept and simulation through component selection, prototype implementation, laboratory measurement, debugging, and validation
• Expert in power conversion topologies, power semiconductors, magnetic components, and passive components

Nice to have

• Experience with electro-thermal simulation tools such as PLECS
• Experience with SiC or GaN semiconductors
• Experience with high-frequency magnetics

Before you apply

• Recruiter Interview (30-60 min)
• Technical Screening (30 min)
• Technical Panel (3x60 min)
