Job Description

You will be part of Electrical Engineering development team to develop embedded power supply in our Next Generation Programmable Logic Controller products.

You will contribute to power supply development from concept, architecture, requirements definition, power budgeting, design/implementation of circuits, troubleshooting of designs, functional safety impact assessment, product verification and certification testing, and release to production. You will be reporting to a Hardware Engineering Manager.

Your Responsibilities:

• Strong in design calculations and simulation data for energy, thermal, power efficiency based on selected design concept.
• Different types of transformer design, specification, and materials.
• Working knowledge on the characteristics of magnetics (including inductor/transformer modeling), magnetization inductance, magnetization current, leakage inductance, intra-winding and inter-winding capacitance, self-resonant frequency, characteristics and limitations of magnetic cores, core saturation, core loss, high frequency losses, core reset, winding techniques for optimization of desired magnetics, and design of current transformers.
• Experience in schematic design, modelling / simulation tool and equipment for power converter design and multiple techniques of protection.
• Demonstrated skills in the hardware development process, including circuit simulation & design, component de-rating, hardware debug & release.
• Work with supplier(s) to discuss requirements, testing method, identification of issues and resolutions.

The Essentials - You Will Have:

• Master/ Bachelor's degree in electrical/power engineering.
• 10+ years of experience design and test of power supply circuits and printed circuit boards for hardware systems, with expertise in isolated and non-isolated power supply design.
• Experience developing electronic hardware systems that meet product certification requirements, such as UL, CE, or IEC 61010.
• Track records in AC-DC & DC-DC power design related activities and knowledge. In depth knowledge on power supply topologies, e.g. Sepic, buck, boost, flyback and different compensation techniques.
• You will determine which of these topologies best suits the needs based on given product requirements.

The Preferred - You Might Also Have:

• Preferable to have experience designing electronic hardware systems that meet functional safety standards (e.g., IEC 61508 and/or SIL2/SIL3)
• You are experienced in technical documentation and report writing.
• You can lead solutions with teams to find solutions.
• You have the targets while working on.

What We Offer:

• Health Insurance including comprehensive In-patient coverage along with Top-up plans for voluntary coverage upgrade.
