- Conduct research, design, development, and testing of hardware such as miniature power conversion and management circuitry, distributed power architectures, radiation hardened designs.
- Optimize system designs for reduced size, weight, and power.
- Design new products and develop technical specifications for their production.
- Analyze hardware configuration and processing solutions and test hardware conformance to specifications.
- Develop and maintain effective internal / external relationships.
- Independently drive solutions to complex problems - develop requirements, propose ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapt appropriately to changes in requirements.
- Subject Matter Expert (SME) able to perform advanced architectures and designs for complex power electronics.
- Involved in business development and proposal activities.
- Identify program / system-level technical risks and develop and execute mitigation strategies.
- Ability to manage multi-disciplinary tasks with multiple engineers and effectively communicate status to project leadership and customers.
- Develop, document, and teach best practices to less experienced engineers; Demonstrate strong organization, planning, and time management skills to achieve program goals.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.Skills / Abilities
- Knowledge in at least one of the following areas : Isolated and non-Isolated dc / dc power conversion; rectification; inversion;
battery management systems; motor controller design; system-level power distribution design; system / board level grounding / shielding and EMC design techniques.
