About the Role:
As a Power Design Engineer you will be a key member of the hardware team. Both a technologist and a leader the successful candidate will work across disciplines to assure power related designs meet the power thermal and safety requirements of the system specification. The Power Design Engineer will lead the design of DC-DC switching power supplies LDO battery pack and help product to do the component selection.
The ideal candidate will be a promised leader by example promoting positive company culture and fostering transparency throughout the organization. This person approaches problems with insight and creativity in equal measure never accepting solutions that compromise values or quality as an option. They treat everyone as a peer and understand that listening is as imperative to effective communication as speaking.
You will work closely with Motive engineers including EE engineering RF engineering Reliability engineering product development and manufacturing teams to understand the system requirements and contribute or lead the specification design and debugging of complex Automotive and Camera products.
Finally you will have an amazing opportunity to shape the way we develop and test our products. We are looking for candidates with a solid power design/validation background and hands-on experience in testing complex systems to join our team. This role is ideal for an engineer who is a strong independent worker ready to take on new challenges and eager to work with cutting edge technology.
What Youll Do:
- Architecture Lead and contribute to power delivery system architecture and specifications.
- Define and take ownership of power test plans and strategies
- Design analysis and simulation of high current and low noise power delivery circuits.
- Work with other engineers on debugging contributes to system bring up debug and validation in the lab.
- Verification: Write and execute test and DVT plans.
- Write clear and organized test reports
- Design operate and maintain lab space and derive technical specifications based on product level requirements
