Amperesand
San Francisco, US
On-site

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Design isolated and non-isolated converter stages using advanced topologies such as multi-level converters, cascaded H-bridges, Dual Active Bridge (DAB) and ensuring robust protection and safety compliance for MV/LV systems
  • Perform trade-off analysis and optimization of power conversion hardware to balance between loss, cost and size across Semiconductors, Magnetics and Cooling components
  • Design magnetics to meet applicable safety, isolation, and thermal standards
  • Design and verify high-voltage isolation strategies using magnetically and optically isolated signal and power paths across LV-MV domains
  • Use FEA simulations to design magnetics and guide high-power high-frequency PCBA designs
  • Work in close coordination with mechanical designers, manufacturing and test engineers to own the complete development cycle
  • Own the design validation of the magnetics components to validate performance targets, isolation requirements

Qualifications

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Power Electronics, Electromagnetics or related field
  • 4+ years' experience in magnetics design and in power conversion design
  • Strong fundamentals in electromagnetics and material properties
  • Experience working with SiC/GaN devices in high power density designs
  • Good understanding of loss mechanisms in semiconductor devices and high-frequency magnetics
  • Knowledge of Medium Voltage insulation coordination, hands-on experience with Hi-pot, Partial Discharge and Basic Impulse Test
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC test Standards and Electrical Safety (IEC, UL) Standards.
  • Strong analytical skills for interpreting simulation and test data to guide design revisions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communications in English
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 10% including internationally

Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
