Senior Power Electronics Control Engineer

The role

You will focus on control and system behavior of advanced power converters including AC-DC and DC-DC topologies. You will work on control design, modeling, analysis, laboratory debugging, and validation for low-voltage and medium-voltage power conversion systems.

What you will do

• Design and implement digital control algorithms for advanced AC-DC and DC-DC power converters.
• Develop small-signal and large-signal models for stability analysis and transient optimization.
• Support development of control strategies for multilevel or resonant topologies.
• Implement real-time control algorithms on DSP/MCU/SoC platforms.
• Lead hands-on debugging and root-cause analysis across simulation, firmware, hardware, and lab testing.
• Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to optimize performance.
• Support validation activities including loop stability and fault handling verification.
• Own complex control subsystems and contribute to system-level design.

Required qualifications

• Technical degree or equivalent industry experience in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• 3+ years of experience designing and deploying digital control for power converters.
• Strong understanding of resonant power conversion principles.
• Solid foundation in control theory including loop compensation and stability margins.
• Proven experience implementing real-time control algorithms on embedded platforms.
• Hands-on laboratory experience debugging power converters.
• Ability to translate theoretical control concepts into practical implementations.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and PLECS.
• Proficiency in embedded C for real-time control implementation and debugging.

Nice to have

• Exposure to medium-voltage power electronics systems.
• Exposure to bidirectional power conversion and power flow control.
• Experience supporting products from R&D through validation and deployment.
