U.S. Citizen Only

Responsibilities

Design, analyze, simulate, test, and document power conversion (and related analog) circuitry. This circuitry will dominantly involve non-isolated and isolated switch mode power converters and linear converters. Main emphasis is on board-mounted power end use applications

Architect at the circuit card level

See circuit card and stack development through its design phases, from requirements definition through initial integration testing

Drive to meet schedule concerns. Define schedules for circuit, circuit card, and stack level tasking

Guide ECAD drafters and junior engineers through layout and routing activities. Define layer stackup definitions. Drive decisions relating to creepage and clearance

Lead medium sized teams to success with schedule, budget, and technical execution

Engage in personal technical growth and facilitate technical growth in peers and junior engineers. Help to understand what opportunities are needed to mature the organization on the technical front

Required

Typically requires a Bachelor's in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and 8 years of prior relevant experience

Design, analysis, test, and/or simulation experience with linear converters and any of the following non-isolated converter topologies: buck, boost, buck-boost

Design, analysis, and/or simulation experience with at least one of the following isolated converter topologies: flyback, halfbridge, full-bridge, forward, push-pull, resonant

Experience using tools such as MATLAB, MathCAD, Mathematica, or other similar tools

Experience with EMI Filter design, analysis, test, and/or simulation considerations in power electronics circuits

Experience with transformer or inductor design, analysis, test, and/or simulation considerations in power electronics circuits

Experience utilizing and/or creating electrical design specifications

Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date

U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

DoD Clearance: Secret

Preferred

Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering

Understanding of switching converter control techniques and modes such as voltage mode, peak and average current modes, their advantages and disadvantages. Conceptual familiarity and experience must include stability

Experience leading small teams (formally or informally), and experience working with other team leads toward a larger goal

Should have exposure to managing customer relationships

Experience communicating and documenting technical topics at the small and large team level and experience presenting to upper levels of management

Experience conducting trade studies relating to power electronics architecture at the circuit card stack level

Experience guiding drafters through the ECAD process, including the layout and routing concerns specific to non-isolated and isolated power electronics

Experience Utilizing and creating electrical design specifications. Should have exposure to requirements definition early in the design cycle

Experience designing at the circuit card stack level to meet concerns of adjacent disciplines, such as thermal, structural, mechanical, reliability, and quality

Experience with Texas Instruments C-2000 family of microcontrollers, Microchip PIC controllers, VHDL, or real time operating systems

Experience with using CAN-bus, UART, and/or RS-422
