Job Description

Empower Semiconductor is seeking a highly skilled and motivatedMagnetics System Engineerto join our semiconductor power electronics team. This role focuses on the design modeling development and integration of magnetic componentssuch as inductors transformers and magnetic materialsused in semiconductor-based power systems (e.g. DC-DC converters power modules and high-frequency systems). You will work closely with IC design packaging thermal and system architects to optimize magnetic components for performance reliability and cost.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Design & Development:
    • Design custom magnetic components (transformers inductors EMI filters) for high-frequency power conversion systems (from kHz to MHz).
    • Select and specify magnetic materials (ferrite powdered iron amorphous nanocrystalline) suitable for application requirements.
    • Work with PCB layout teams to ensure optimal integration of magnetic components.
    • Develop magnetics models (analytical and finite-element) for accurate performance prediction.
  • Simulation & Modeling:
    • Use simulation tools (e.g. ANSYS Maxwell MATLAB SPICE Simplorer) to model magnetic fields losses saturation and thermal behavior.
    • Support co-simulation with system-level simulators to ensure system stability and EMI compliance.
  • Testing & Validation:
    • Develop and execute test plans for magnetic components in prototype and production systems.
    • Analyze failure modes and reliability data to improve magnetic designs.
    • Collaborate with test engineering teams to characterize components under real-world operating conditions.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration:
    • Partner with IC designers mechanical engineers and system architects to optimize overall power delivery system.
    • Provide magnetic component guidance for package engineers and PCB layout designers.
    • Interface with suppliers and manufacturers for custom component development.
Qualifications:
Required:
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering Power Electronics or related field (M.S. or Ph.D. preferred)
  • 3 years of experience in magnetics design for power systems or semiconductor products
  • Deep understanding of electromagnetic theory and magnetic material properties
  • Experience with design and fabrication of planar and discrete magnetics
  • Proficient in simulation tools (e.g. Maxwell COMSOL PLECS)
Preferred:
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC standards and filter design
  • Experience in thermal management of magnetic components
  • Knowledge of semiconductor packaging and integration trends (e.g. power modules SIP MCM)
