Job Description

Position Overview:

In this role, you will provide technical leadership for analysis, design, development and testing of power conversion hardware for industrial motor drives. You will architect the design and develop specifications based on product requirements. You will lead the development of proof-of-concept hardware, laboratory tests, and qualification and certification testing of the product. You will lead project planning activity for the SAFe Agile frame work, task scheduling, and resource management, and own product cost. You will also participate in technology and product roadmap development, and conduct research to qualify new technology for adoption in future products. Lead the Mechanical Design Global Process team for Low Voltage drives.

You will report to the Manager, Mechanical Engineering.

Your Responsibilities:

• Application of electro-mechanical systems design principles to lead the design/development of power hardware for AC/DC motor drives – Design of enclosures of sheet metal injection molded plastic, bonded fin and aluminum extruded heatsink , magnetics, wire harness, bus bar
• Application of simulation tools for thermal and mechanical modeling, design and troubleshooting of complex mechanical and thermal, systems and applications.
• Must follow and ensure safe work practices when working with high voltage power hardware
• Demonstrate excellent technical, oral and written communication skills, and work effectively in a team environment. Lead project during SAFe planning, resource management, and assume responsibility for timely completion of tasks
• Participate in analysis and troubleshooting of complex issues and identify root cause failure modes. Responsible for making technical presentations to internal and external customers
• Stay up to date with technological advancements in power electronics, components, design and simulation tools, and application trends. Participate in technology investigation projects to make enhancements to future product design
• Follow technology roadmaps of critical custom component vendors (heatsinks, sheet metal, plastics, semi-conductors, magnetics, capacitors) and lead working relationships
• Understand and apply regulatory and certification standards that govern current product design and emerging applications. Participate in regulatory standards committees and stay up to date on trends that impact product design and qualification
• Contribute to driving improvements to design process and developing design guidelines
• Apply DFSS principles for concept selection and robust design and lead in the application of GD&T
