Position Summary

At the Westborough, MA Design Center, our Product Development teams provide solutions to our customers through the design and development of AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies and Digital Panel Meters (DPMs). In this role, you will be:

• Responsible for the design and development of leading edge power conversion products with a focus on utilizing new technology, reliability, new product viability, lowest cost, and raising the bar on power density and efficiency.

Job Duties/Responsibilities

• Propose circuit topology, perform loss budget, evaluate performance targets, estimate product cost from a given product spec or market requirement document.
• Ability to perform design simulations and analysis utilizing simulation software.
• Supports various sustaining engineering activities to resolve production related issues.
• Design of circuits (power, control, supervisory, regulatory), select components, create schematic and necessary documents to facilitate CAD layout.
• Reviews PCB layouts & other design documents prior to their releases for procurement or production.
• Test and debug prototypes to ensure the design meets all required specifications.
• Support product qualifications to ensure design integrity. Implement corrective actions to close all issues found.
• Prepare documentation deliverables for pre-release and final production release.
• Prepare ECOs and TCOs to implement design changes.
• Responsible that all product designs meet their intended design specifications and comply with all appropriate engineering guidelines and requirements.
• Support the design and development of new DC/DC converters and analog circuits based on product specification and/or marketing requirements under limited guidance/supervision.
• Support the resolution of challenging technical hurdles with various circuitry and/or methods.

Experience Required
