Principal Power Electronics Engineer - Hartford, United States - Amoria Bond

Description

• Architect, design, build and industrialize power converter hardware for use in our products and energy products applications
• Start to finish ownership of hardware – from specification to design, prototype, reliability validation and production
• Capture hardware requirements, build detailed circuit and switching models of power converters, select components, design schematics, PCB layout, build prototypes and validate hardware
• Collaborate with systems architecture, mechanical, PCB layout, manufacturing, reliability, and firmware engineering teams to successfully design, test, validate and manufacture power converters for our products.
• Architecture and modelling of new power electronics topologies that have superior performance

• An engineering bachelors/ Masters/ PhD.
• Experience with high voltage power semiconductor selection (IGBTs, Si/SiC/GaN MOSFET's, and Diodes), design of gate drive and analog/digital sensing circuits.
• 6 + years of relevant hands-on hardware experience in design and industrialization of power converter products
• Strong understanding of power converter topologies – both theory and practical design
• Solid understanding of the theory and application of magnetics (inductors, transformers) and capacitors (film, ceramic and electrolytic) for high voltage and high frequency power conversion
• Good understanding of switching waveforms, semi-conductor loss mechanisms and experience with loss modelling.
