Job Description

Job Overview



We are seeking an experienced

Power Electronics Engineer

to join our innovative development team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the

design, development, and testing of inverter systems and associated power electronics hardware

, with a strong emphasis on

PCB design using Altium Designer

. This role offers the opportunity to work on advanced power conversion and control systems, contributing to product architecture, design validation, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in power electronics circuit design, gate-drive topologies, thermal management, and practical PCB implementation for high-power systems.

Responsibilities

Design and develop inverter systems and power electronic circuits

, including DC-DC, DC-AC, and AC-AC conversion topologies.

Create detailed schematics and multilayer PCB layouts in Altium Designer

, ensuring best practices for creepage/clearance, EMC, grounding, and thermal performance. Perform

component selection, derating analysis, and design calculations

for power semiconductors, magnetics, gate drivers, sensing circuits, and protection systems. Conduct

simulation and analysis of power circuits

, including switching behaviour, losses, and thermal performance. Support

prototype build, bring-up, debugging, and validation testing

using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and HV test equipment. Lead

root-cause analysis and design improvements

for field or production issues. Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless product integration and design-for-manufacture. Ensure all designs comply with

industry standards and safety requirements

related to high-voltage and power conversion systems.
Qualifications

Degree in

Electrical / Electronic Engineering

or a related discipline. Proven industry experience in

power electronics design

, ideally involving inverter or motor-drive systems.

Strong proficiency with Altium Designer

for schematic capture and PCB layout. Hands-on experience with

power semiconductors

(IGBTs, MOSFETs, SiC/GaN preferred). Knowledge of

gate-drive design, protection circuits, EMI/EMC practices, and thermal management

. Experience building and testing

high-voltage or high-power prototypes

safely. Familiarity with simulation tools such as

LTspice, PLECS, or SIMetrix

is advantageous. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail. Experience collaborating in cross-disciplinary engineering environments.
This position is ideal for a motivated engineer passionate about advancing

power electronics and inverter technologies

through innovative, reliable, and production-ready design.
