Power Electronics Senior Hardware Engineer

Power Electronics Senior Hardware Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design and Development:

  Develop and optimize AC/DC and DC/DC converter circuits (SMPS topologies such as flyback, boost, buck, full-bridge) from concept through prototype. Generate schematics, select components (power MOSFETs, IGBTs, gate drivers, magnetics), perform design calculations and design PCBs for power supplies. Ensure designing of new product / model meeting specification, cost & schedule.

• Testing and Compliance:

  Formulate test plans and perform functional, thermal, reliability, and environmental tests on power supplies. Ensure all designs meet safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) standards (e.g., IEC, UL/CE). Optimize hardware designs for manufacturability, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

• Manufacturing support:

  Work with mechanical, quality, and manufacturing teams to support pilot runs and production. Apply design-for-manufacturability (DFM) practices and coordinate with vendors for component sourcing and assembly. Implement engineering changes and continuous improvements in existing designs.

• Simulation and Prototyping:

  Use circuit simulation tools (PSpice, MATLAB/Simulink) to validate designs. Build prototype boards, perform bench testing with oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and other lab equipment, and iterate designs based on test results.

• Analysis/Documentation:

  Create detailed design documentation including electrical schematics, BOMs, block diagrams, component selection, Loss analysis, WCA and test reports. Conduct design reviews and incorporate feedback to refine designs.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (B.E./B.Tech)
• Masters degree in Power Electronics is optional and considered as an advantage

• Proficiency in power supply & its topologies, magnetic components & design (transformers, inductors, line filters etc.), analog control,digital control,thermal design
• Strong expertise in Altium Designer for schematic capture, PCB layout, and design reviews
• Experience in EMI/EMC compliance, thermal management, industry quality and safety standards (ISO 9001, UL/IEC) certifications
• Ability to analyze and optimize PCB layouts for signal integrity, power efficiency, and thermal performance
• Must possess basic soldering skills and troubleshoot defective PCBs if needed
• Design simulation tools knowledge e.g. PSpice,LTspice,MathCad and Matlab etc
• Knowledge of handling mechanical design tool
• Strong background in system design from industries such as: UPS, PV inverters, Power supplies, Energy storage, or similar

Soft Skills

• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail when designing and debugging hardware
• Self-motivated, adaptable, and able to manage multiple open-ended tasks in a fast-paced environment
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, able to clearly document work and present design concepts
• Team oriented with startup mindset
