About the role

Responsibilities

• Develop motor drive and motor generator unit power electronics architectures; design inverter, rectifier, and bridge stages for PMSM, BLDC, and brushed DC machines.
• Design gate-driver, protection, isolation, starter/generator, alternator conversion, rectification, and regulation circuits.
• Select MOSFET, IGBT, SiC, and GaN devices; calculate switching/conduction losses and perform derating analysis.
• Design magnetics, current sensing, DC-link and EMI filters, sensing, isolation, and feedback circuits.
• Perform thermal design, heatsink sizing, cooling analysis, schematic design, and high-voltage/high-current PCB layout.
• Simulate and verify designs; address EMC/EMI and environmental qualification requirements.
• Plan and support power-stage bring-up, integration, and qualification tests with system, software, electrical machine, test, and certification teams.

Basic qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• At least 5 years of hands-on power electronics and motor drive hardware design experience.
• Knowledge of buck, boost, flyback, half/full bridge, and three-phase inverter topologies; alternators, generators, starters, PMSM, BLDC, and BDC motors.
• Experience in gate-driver design, dead-time management, short-circuit/overcurrent protection, semiconductor selection, loss calculation, and thermal derating.
• Experience with magnetics design, high-current PCB layout, schematic design, and PCB layout tools such as Altium Designer or Mentor PADS.
• Experience with power electronics simulation tools such as LTspice, PLECS, PSIM, or Simulink, and with EMC/EMI-aware switching power-stage design.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, and RTCA/DO-160; knowledge of RTCA/DO-254 and requirements traceability.
• English proficiency is required for all roles unless otherwise stated.

Preferred qualifications

• ECU or MGU power electronics hardware development experience and electrical machine design/analysis tools such as Motor-CAD, JMAG, Ansys Maxwell, or Altair Flux.
• Familiarity with sensorless control, resolver/encoder interfaces, field-oriented control hardware needs, and aerospace/defense development and certification practices.
