Power Electronics EngineerThe ADI Power uModule Team is seeking a motivated Power Electronics Engineer to work fully onsite and characterize and qualify DC-DC converters, power modules, and semiconductor devices through hands-on laboratory testing. Training and engineering guidance are provided.
The role combines product measurements, test-hardware integration, troubleshooting, data review, and safe laboratory operation.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:- Characterize power hardware: Test DC-DC converters, power modules, and semiconductor devices using power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, current probes, and temperature measurements.
- Evaluate performance: Interpret switching waveforms, voltage and current behavior, efficiency, transient response, regulation, and temperature; identify product, measurement, or setup issues.
- Develop test setups: Select measurement methods and adapt fixtures, wiring, sensing, and instrumentation for new product requirements.
- Support qualification: Run electrical and thermal derating and automated power-cycling tests; verify conditions, monitor tests, investigate anomalies, troubleshoot hardware, and document results.
Minimum Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Knowledge of switching converters, electrical measurements, transient behavior, and thermal performance.
- Hands-on experience with power-electronics hardware and instruments such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, probes, sensors, or data acquisition equipment. Relevant academic, project, internship, or professional experience may qualify.
- Ability to read schematics, assemble or modify test hardware, interpret measurements, and troubleshoot product behavior and test setups during late-stage bring-up.
- Ability to analyze results, document findings, and communicate clearly.
Preferred Qualifications:- Experience testing power semiconductor devices, DC-DC converters, power modules, or uModule products.
- Experience monitoring extended automated characterization or qualification tests.
- Familiarity with Allegro, Altium Designer, or similar PCB tools for new or modified test hardware.
- Experience designing test fixtures, wiring harnesses, or custom hardware interfaces.
- Familiarity with automated test equipment and data acquisition systems.
- Knowledge of thermal management, environmental testing, or reliability laboratory practices.
What Makes Someone Successful in This RoleThe successful candidate is curious, dependable, and comfortable working with power-conversion hardware. They connect measurements to circuit behavior, troubleshoot methodically, ask questions when needed, and gradually take ownership of assigned tests and hardware while collaborating on new technical challenges.
