POWER SUPPLY DESIGN ENGINEER

Aversan Inc. (www.aversan.com) is a reputable Engineering Company that provides expertise in Systems Integration, Product Design/Development and Software/Product Testing for highly regulated industries including Digital Health, Medical Devices, IT and Aerospace. We are currently seeking a qualified Power Supply Design Engineer to work on leading edge technology products.

The successful candidate for this position will be a part of a highly motivated and technical work environment that feeds off the collective energy of a team-oriented workplace.

Location: Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC (Hybrid)

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Apply the different aspects of Electronics Power Circuit hardware design for space environment under the supervision of a senior technical authority.
• Convert requirements into a board design concept.
• Complete the schematic capture level design.
• Perform design simulations (LTSpice, BoardSim) and various design analyses (ex: worst case, FMECA).
• Support and review parts placement and PCB layout.
• Prepare Material list and assembly drawings.
• Oversee parts management including long lead items, bill of materials, and parts qualifications for space.
• Assist the preparation of detailed review documents.
• Respect Design for Manufacture/Test in the space environment.
• Provide manufacturing activity support for the electronics PCB and unit assembly as well as testing activities.
• Perform testing, troubleshooting, and debugging of EPC boards and units.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
• Three (3) to ten (10) years of experience designing high-frequency, high-efficiency “Full Bridge” power supply and printed circuit boards (PCB).
• Good understanding of electronic circuits and Ultra-high efficiency EPC design using synchronous rectifier MOS transistors (eGaN preferred) with PCB design experience.
• High frequency power supply above 200 kHz (up to 1 MHz desired).
• Use of MOS transistors insensitive to radiation (preferably eGaN).
• Design of low-cost, discrete, high-performance isolated gate driver circuits for MOS transistors.
• Knowledgeable about PCB manufacturing processes.
• Experience in conducting analyses (FMECA, WCA, EMC, power budget analysis, etc.).
• Knowledgeable about part types and at ease with datasheets.
• Knowledge of space radiation effects on parts is an asset.
• Lab experience with electronic circuits and laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscope, network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator.
• Proficient experience in schematic entry (ex: Mentor Xpedition, PADS, OrCAD).
• Knowledge of satellite design requirements (radiation, high reliability).
• Fluent in English and French is an asset.
