Hardware Design & PCB Layout Engineer - Advanced Power Electronics

Hardware Design & PCB Layout Engineer - Advanced Power Electronics

In this role you will lead the development of next-generation inverter and power electronics hardware solutions for electric vehicle applications.

You will utilize engineering tools, processes, and program management disciplines to successfully develop components and systems that meet vehicle program requirements while achieving key cost, performance, efficiency, quality, and timing targets.

• Q3D or equivalent 2D/3D electromagnetic field-solver analysis for PCB and magnetics parasitics.
• High-frequency transformer, inductor, planar, and PCB-embedded magnetics design.
• Hands-on signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and worst-case circuit analysis (WCA), including component tolerances and environmental variation.
• High-voltage PCB design practices, including creepage, clearance, insulation coordination, and partial-discharge considerations.
• Layout experience for fast-switching SiC or IGBT power stages, including gate-loop optimization and dv/dt, di/dt, and parasitic-inductance control.
• Automotive EMI/EMC design for high-power converters, including filtering, grounding, shielding, and CISPR 25 requirements.
• Coordination of PCB design with power modules, busbars, gate drivers, thermal interfaces, and mechanical packaging.

Lead advanced technology development for power electronics systems, including design, analysis, simulation, validation, and testing.

Develop advanced power converter hardware solutions that meet future EV performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.

Create and support digital and analog hardware designs, including schematic development, PCB layout, simulation, and supporting documentation.

Develop PCB layouts for new and existing architectures, ensuring designs meet functional, manufacturability, signal integrity, power integrity, EMC, thermal, and mechanical requirements.

Perform component placement, trace routing, stack-up definition, and layout optimization for high-density, high-speed, and mixed-signal electronic designs.
