Senior Power Electrical Engineer

About the role

The Senior Power Engineer will design, analyze, simulate, and test power conversion circuitry, guide ECAD personnel, and present reviews of technical data to program leadership.

Responsibilities

• Design, analyze (including thermal considerations), simulate, and test power conversion circuitry potentially utilizing any standard non-isolated power conversion topologies (buck, boost, buck-boost) including modules and discrete designs.
• Guide Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) personnel through PWB layout of power circuitry and technical drawing creation.
• Perform design work within the bounds of a given schedule.
• Present reviews of technical data to program leadership and technical staff.

Requirements

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in design, analysis, simulation, and/or test experience with linear converters.
• Experience with any of the following non-isolated converter topologies: buck, boost, buck-boost.
• Experience with design, analysis, and test with analog electronic design and analysis, including FET, BJT, and/or Op-amp circuits.

Qualifications

• Lab experience specific to power electronics and/or controls electronics.
• Demonstrated use of software tools for electrical circuit simulation and/or printed circuit board layout.
• Demonstrated ability to document designs and circuit performance verification.
• Demonstrated experience with fundamental power conversion concepts, components, and techniques.
• Demonstrated understanding of linear controls and motor drive techniques.
• Basic understanding of commonly used power converter and/or motor drive control schemes.
• Experience with performing circuit card assembly-level power architecture trades, and/or with system-level power architecture trades, including power converter specification development experience.
• Professional experience guiding Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) personnel through PWB layout of power circuitry and technical drawing creation (direct experience with such tools is adequate to fulfill this requirement).
• Familiarity with circuit simulator SIMPLIS, Saber and/or analysis tool Mathcad.
• Experience with Mentor Graphics DxDesigner, and/or Hyperlynx.
• Experience with acting as a liaison between program and functional management.
• Experience with digital power control.
• Experience with military specifications.
• Experience with transformer and inductor design considerations.
• Design experience with Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) concerns.
• Design experience with voltages > 400V and/or power > 10kW.
• Experience with program management tools such as Earned Value.
• Experience with proposal development.
• Ability to design to meet concerns of adjacent disciplines, such as thermal, structural, mechanical, reliability, and quality.
• Strong interpersonal, leadership, communication, and time management skills.
