Staff Application Engineer
On-siteNoida, Uttar Pradesh, India
Job Summary
Lead design, development, and optimization of complex power electronics hardware, including converters, MCUs, sensors, and electromechanical components. Translate high-level system requirements into detailed schematics, PCB layouts, and BOMs to support proof-of-concept execution. Apply advanced understanding of power conversion topologies and control theory to optimize designs for efficiency and manufacturability. Perform board-level thermal, signal integrity, and EMC/EMI simulations to refine designs before prototyping. Break down activities into sub-tasks to adhere to timelines and budget constraints while leading evaluation, troubleshooting, and debugging of hardware prototypes. Oversee technical documentation and sustain system board designs on the Altium platform. Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware components.
Required Qualifications
- Qualification in electronics engineering or comparable discipline
- 7+ years experience in hardware system design and physical prototype validation, specifically in power electronics
- Experience in system level and sub-system integration and debug
- Sound knowledge of power conversion topologies, magnetics, control theory and power devices
- In-depth knowledge of PCB layout techniques in power electronics, and mitigation of the problems/challenges arising in high-power and multi-domain environments
- Proficient with simulations and CAD tools (MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE, SIMPLIS...)
- Proficient with PCB design and simulation tools (eg Altium, Ansys...)
- Experience in taking system designs from concept to proof of concept
- Good understanding of power electronics components (including silicon-based IGBTs, MOSFET and Wide Bandgap technologies) and their driving
- Good project management skills and ability to work with limited supervision
- Good communication skills and ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment
Desired Qualifications
- A good knowledge of power management (AC/DC, DC/DC and DC/AC power conversion systems) and the ability to contribute to system design and conception is strongly desirable
- Knowledge of electrical machines and motor drive would be a plus
- Knowledge and understanding of medium power (up to several hundreds of kW) and medium voltage (up to >1kV) and related safety issues in testing a prototype in high voltage environment would be a plus
- Thermal design experience (loss calculations, simulations and cooling unit specifications)
- Understanding of EMC/EMI mitigation techniques
