Job Description Summary
The Lead Power Electronics Integration Engineer will own the end-to-end design integration and validation of advanced electromechanical packaging solutions for low- and medium-voltage (LV/MV) high-power drive systems. This role requires deep expertise in power converter design thermal and mechanical integration and power semiconductor technology with the ability to lead cross-functional teams from concept through to production.Job Description
Key Responsibilities for the Role include:
Technical Leadership & Design Ownership
Lead the full lifecycle of electromechanical packaging design for power converters and enclosures integrating power electronics mechanical thermal and electrical aspects to deliver robust manufacturable solutions.
Collaborate closely with CAD engineers electrical designers and system architects to achieve optimal component placement cooling efficiency and structural integrity.
Drive Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) initiatives ensuring scalable cost-effective and high-reliability designs.
Lead or support thermal and structural analysis including simulation validation and environmental testing to confirm performance in demanding operational conditions.
Power Electronics & System Design
Specify design and document power electronic converter solutions tailored to system and customer requirements.
Undertake detailed circuit design activities including snubber networks gate drivers and protection circuitry applying expertise in semiconductor devices (Diodes Thyristors IGBTs GTOs IGCTs MOSFETs SiC GaN etc.).
Conduct modelling analysis and simulation of power converter systems using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink PLECS PSpice Mathcad CFD or equivalent.
Develop and enhance analytical and modelling tools for MW-class converter systems including studies in thermal behaviour EMC harmonics common-mode effects and performance optimization.
Verification Validation & Compliance
Plan and oversee testing verification and validation of LV and MV converter hardware ensuring compliance with design intent and reliability standards.
