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
