Position Overview

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will lead the creation of AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion systems, support technical proposals, influence product roadmaps, and collaborate across engineering, sales, manufacturing, and compliance teams. You will play a central role in ensuring product performance, manufacturability, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop AC/DC and DC/DC switch-mode power supplies (medium and low voltage).
• Support Sales by reviewing and developing technical proposals with limited reference designs.
• Select and specify components for performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Lead efforts to standardize designs and improve productivity, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Ensure product compliance with internal requirements, customer specifications, and applicable industry standards.
• Integrate new technologies into hardware designs and contribute to product roadmap strategy.
• Modify, troubleshoot, and optimize existing designs and circuit topologies.
• Translate customer requirements into robust engineering solutions.
• Coordinate with PCB layout, mechanical design, documentation, safety approvals, and manufacturing teams.
• Perform root cause analysis and resolve complex technical issues.
• Prepare technical documentation such as test procedures, design descriptions, and engineering reports.
• Mentor and guide engineers; communicate effectively with leadership, customers, and cross-functional teams.

Required Skills & Technical Expertise

• Strong expertise in schematic design, PCB development, troubleshooting, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
• Hands-on design and troubleshooting experience with AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters, inverters, UPS systems, and distribution systems down to component level.
• Knowledge of EMI/RFI attenuation, EMC compliance, and MIL-standard design practices.
• Skilled in developing and validating circuit topologies with a focus on Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
• Experience designing for environmental and thermal conditions (temperature, humidity, shock, vibration).
• Proficiency with lab instruments: oscilloscopes, multimeters, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, thermal chambers, etc.
• Experience writing detailed test procedures and creating test fixtures.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and CAD/simulation tools (Altium, PCAD, etc.).
• Strong leadership, communication, and teamwork capabilities.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering, or Physical Sciences (or equivalent experience).
