Electrical Engineer (Power Electronics)
About this Role - Work with a highly skilled and collaborative team to develop critical electrification components - Develop deep and hands-on technical skills in power electronics component development including testing, validation, analysis, design, and issue resolution Gain high voltage and high power experience in off-highway electric drivetrain Typical task breakdown: - High current, high voltage up to 3killwatts, and high temperature component testing (current sensors, large DC link capacitors, power modules, PCBs). - Test planning, documentation, fixture setup, test execution, data processing and analysis, summarizing and reporting of test results, failure analysis. - Review engineering drawings, technical requirements, and specifications - Utilize quality tools and processes including FMEA, APQP & PPAP. Interaction with team: - Collaboration with Client’s SME, NPI/NTI leads, test engineers, and technicians. - Collaboration with the Client India and Client China team (electrical design, release of component prints, 3D models). - Supplier development. Limited travel to suppliers. Team Structure - Team of 8 engineers. Will work closely under power device team lead Work environment: - Office and lab environment. - PPE gear – boots, googles 50/50 depending on what they’re working on Education & Experience Required: - Years of experience: 10 - Degree requirement: BS in Electrical Engineering required. M.S. preferred. Power Electronics focus preferred. - Not open to 2 year degrres - Do you accept internships as job experience: No - Are there past or additional job titles or roles that would provide comparable background to this role: Power Electronics Component Design Engineer Top 3 Skills - Hands-on test experience with component development for electric drive applications in high-power high-reliability applications. - Coordinate development, review, and execution of test plans (test fixtures, instrumentation, resources, tools, schedule, processes, measurement equipment, analysis of test results, preparation of technical reports, design reviews, failure analysis). - Experience with using dataloggers, oscilloscopes, HV differential probe, current transducer, thermal chambers, high voltage power supplies, high current power supplies. Additional Technical Skills (Required) - Experience with Pythons, MATLAB, Excel, and JBER for test data analysis. (Desired) - Experience with working across different engineering disciplines (electrical and mechanical engineers, thermal simulation, quality, manufacturing, purchasing). - Double pulse testing of power modules - Improvement or development of alternative testing methods and tools. - Estimates time and resources required for execution of test plan. Soft Skills (Required) - Experience in Microsoft tools (i.e. Outlook, Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc.) - Self-starter who can understand a task or program’s status, generate action items, identify problems, and initiate actions (Desired) - Experience working with customers and suppliers and a global team (India, China, Europe) - Strong communication and collaboration skills, able to lead/facilitate discussions and generate conclusions, able to navigate a matrix organization
