Power Systems Engineer – Electronic Design Lifecycle
We are committed to our culture that values Customer Focus, Flexibility, Knowledge, Speed and Integrity. Joining our team means you will work in a high-performing global company where employees collaborate and strive for excellence.
About the Role
The Power Systems Engineer will be responsible for the full lifecycle of electronic design, ensuring seamless integration of AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies into complex systems. This position requires strong analogue/digital integration expertise, as well as a systems-oriented approach to design, validation, testing, and manufacturing support.
Key Responsibilities
Electronic Design & System Integration
- Take ownership of the complete electronic design lifecycle, including:
- Schematic design & PCB layout
- Prototyping & verification
- Transfer to manufacturing & production support
- Integrate power supplies (AC/DC and DC/DC) into larger electronic systems:
- Ensure correct functionality, performance, and compliance
- Define power architectures (distribution, protection, grounding, interfacing)
- Develop and validate analogue control & monitoring subsystems:
- Voltage/current setpoints, feedback loops, sensing circuits
- Signal conditioning, noise mitigation, and robustness
- Interface power systems with digital controls and communication protocols:
- PMBus, CANopen, Modbus, and SCPI for configuration, monitoring, and coordination
- Perform system-level analysis:
- Efficiency, stability, thermal performance, and fault conditions
- Design and review schematics, supporting PCB layout:
- Focus on signal integrity, EMC, thermal performance, and manufacturability
