Job description

Responsibilities

• Design and develop analog/digital control systems for switch‑mode power converters, meeting performance, reliability, and cost targets.
• Build prototypes, run simulations, and conduct validation tests (electrical, thermal, EMI/EMC, reliability) to qualify designs.
• Prepare and maintain design documentation, schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and test reports with proper version control.
• Collaborate with mechanical, PCB, manufacturing, procurement, and quality teams to support smooth transfer into production.
• Ensure compliance with international safety and environmental standards (IEC, UL, RoHS, REACH) while promoting ISO 9001 practices.

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience in power electronics design (flyback, forward, buck, boost, resonant converters).
• Knowledge of magnetic design, EMI/EMC mitigation, thermal management, and reliability testing.
• Familiarity with analog/digital control strategies, embedded firmware (MCU/DSP), and communication protocols (PMBus, I2C, SPI, CAN).
• Proficiency with simulation tools (LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink), PCB CAD, and lab instruments (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, electronic loads).
