• 12+ years of hands-on mixed-signal HW design brought to mass production.
• Deep expertise in precise analog measurement, calibration and verification.
• Strong grounding, return-path and power-distribution design knowledge.
• EMI/EMC design-for-compliance experience, front-loaded in design.
• Experience with robust, noise-immune communication links (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART).
• Knowledge of power electronics and DC-DC converters (Buck/Boost/Flyback).
• Experience with multilayer PCB layout and lab bring-up.
• Familiarity with AI tools to accelerate engineering work.

Responsibilities

• Define system architecture and converter topology for new product lines; analyze trade-offs in efficiency, cost and reliability.
• Mentor senior and junior engineers; review designs, simulations, PCB layouts, firmware, and test results.
• Review and design digital and mixed-signal boards from concept to mass production.
• Own verification and characterization of project designs on bench and in the system.
• Collaborate across departments and sites; drive subsystems independently.

Job Description:

About the Role

We are seeking a strong Technical Lead Hardware Engineer to design the digital and mixed-signal boards at the heart of SolarEdge's advanced energy storage products. This is a hands-on design role for an engineer with deep, real-world experience in the disciplines that make or break a mixed-signal design - grounding, EMI, robust communication, and accurate measurement - and in how these are verified at the board and full-system level.

What You'll Be Doing

• Define system architecture and converter topology selection for new product lines; conduct trade-off analysis on efficiency, cost, size, and reliability
• Mentor and guide senior and junior engineers; review detailed designs, simulations, PCB layouts, firmware code, and test results
• Review & Designing digital and mixed-signal boards, from concept through mass production
• Review & Designing accurate measurements, robust communication, grounding, and power distribution - at both board and system level
• Owning verification and characterization of your Project designs, on the bench and within the complete system
• Taking technical ownership of subsystems and driving them independently
• Contributing to design reviews and mentoring junior engineers
• Working in a multidisciplinary environment and collaborating across departments and sites

Requirements

• B.Tech. in Electrical, Electronics Or related Engineering Streams. Masters/PhD is Preferred.
• 12+ years of hands-on mixed-signal HW design, taken to mass production
• Deep expertise in precise analog measurement - accuracy budgeting, error sources, calibration - and in verifying accuracy at board and system level
• Strong command of grounding, return-path, and power-distribution design
• EMI/EMC design-for-compliance experience - designed in up front, not fixed late
• Experience designing robust, noise-immune communication links (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, differential) - protocol-agnostic; robustness, isolation, and signal integrity are what matter
• Experience designing protection circuits (overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit)
• Knowledge of power electronics and DC-DC converters (Buck, Boost, Flyback, Forward)
• Proficiency in simulation tools such as LTspice, PSpice, or PSIM
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and lab bring-up skills, with a systematic verification mindset
• Experience with high-density, multilayer PCB layout
• Strong command of AI tools and a demonstrated ability to leverage them to accelerate engineering work - analysis, documentation, scripting, and debugging
• Strong documentation skills - design reviews and product lifecycle management

Advantageous Qualifications

• Experience with Battery Management Systems (BMS) or energy storage technologies (Li-Ion, Solid State, etc.)
• Familiarity with functional safety concepts and safety standards for battery and energy storage systems
• Understanding of thermal management in electronic designs
• Familiarity with regulatory compliance in electronics (CE, UL, etc.)
