Role Overview
Job Description – Senior Power Electronics Design (P4)
Lead the
end-to-end development and integration of advanced power electronic systems for renewable energy, and industrial automation. system architecture, cross-functional collaboration, and adherence to global safety and performance standards. Resolve complex system-level challenges—including thermal, EMI/EMC, and functional safety—while mentoring engineering teams and fostering a culture of innovation, quality, and continuous improvement throughout the product lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
- Development and integration of power electronic systems—including AC-DC, DC-AC, and DC-DC converters, inverters, renewable energy platforms, and industrial converters.
- Work on electrical engineering lifecycle: Requirements → Architecture → Detailed Design → Prototype → Validation → Certification → Production support
- Define system architecture, topology, requirements, and interface specifications for industrial power converters, charging platforms, high-voltage drivetrain systems.
- Guiding designs from concept to mass production.
- Collaborate cross-functionally across hardware, software, mechanical, integration, testing, production, supply chain and project management teams to ensure seamless product development and successful delivery within time.
- Ensure compliance with relevant international safety and performance standards.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex system issues related to system behaviour, thermal management, electromagnetic compatibility/interference (EMC/EMI), and power quality.
- Lead detailed design reviews and ensure comprehensive validation and verification coverage across system interfaces and critical performance metrics, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing where applicable and safety assessments.
- Ensure the product meets quality, cost and timeline requirements.
- Oversee the creation and maintenance of detailed technical documentation, including schematics, Bills of Materials (BOM), specifications, test protocols, validation reports, and production drawings.
- Provide mentorship to junior engineers while fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and driving continuous improvement in engineering processes and best practices.
