Position SummaryAt the Westborough, MA Design Center , our Product Development teams provide solutions to our customers through the design and development of AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies and Digital Panel Meters (DPMs). In this role, you will be:
- Responsible for the design and development of leading edge power conversion products with a focus on utilizing new technology, reliability, new product viability, lowest cost, and raising the bar on power density and efficiency.
Job Duties/Responsibilities- Propose circuit topology, perform loss budget, evaluate performance targets, estimate product cost from a given product spec or market requirement document.
- Ability to perform design simulations and analysis utilizing simulation software.
- Supports various sustaining engineering activities to resolve production related issues.
- Write engineering requirements documents, test plans, validation reports.
- Design of circuits (power, control, supervisory, regulatory), select components, create schematic and necessary documents to facilitate CAD layout.
- Reviews PCB layouts & other design documents prior to their releases for procurement or production.
- Test and debug prototypes to ensure the design meets all required specifications.
- Support product qualifications to ensure design integrity. Implement corrective actions to close all issues found.
- Prepare documentation deliverables for pre-release and final production release.
- Prepare ECOs and TCOs to implement design changes.
- Responsible that all product designs meet their intended design specifications and complies with all appropriate engineering guidelines and requirements.
- Support the design and development of new DC/DC converters and analog circuits based on product specification and/ or marketing requirements under limited guidance/supervision.
- Support the resolution of challenging technical hurdles with various circuitry and/or methods.
Experience Required- BSEE with 2 years or MSEE with experience in a coop or intern capacity in power electronics with lab/bench work preferred.
- Knowledge in SW simulation tools such as PSPICE, Simplis, etc. Hands-on experience in using these tools for circuit designs is a plus.
- Experienced in M.S. Office Suite. PADS or Altium SW a plus.
- Some experience or familiarity in high frequency high-density switching power supply design including circuit topologies, control theories, loop compensation, magnetics design, EMI/RFI, supervisory functions, and PCB layout.
- Ability to work and thrive in a fast paced engineering environment.
- Must be flexible, pro-active, and willing to dedicate the necessary efforts when needed to meet team objectives.
- Potential to develop competency in resolving technical issues with innovative circuitry and/or methods.
- Knowledge of or experiences in high-frequency high-density switching power supply design including circuit topologies, control theories, loop compensation and magnetics design. Exposure to EMI/RFI, supervisory functions and PCB layout is highly desirable.
- Has a basic understanding of several power conversion topologies and methodologies; Flyback, Resonant, LLC, Buck, ZVS, Synchronous, Current-mode-control, etc.
- Demonstrates analytical/problem solving skills and ability to guide critical decisions.
