Key Responsibilities

·       
Design and Development:
Develop and optimize AC/DC and DC/DC converter circuits (SMPS topologies such as flyback, boost, buck, full-bridge) from concept through prototype. Generate schematics, select components (power MOSFETs, IGBTs, gate drivers, magnetics), perform design calculations and design PCBs for power supplies. Ensure designing of new product / model meeting specification, cost & schedule.

·       
Testing and Compliance:
Formulate test plans and perform functional, thermal, reliability, and environmental tests on power supplies. Ensure all designs meet safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) standards (e.g., IEC, UL/CE). Optimize hardware designs for manufacturability, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

·       
Manufacturing support:
Work with mechanical, quality, and manufacturing teams to support pilot runs and production. Apply design-for-manufacturability (DFM) practices and coordinate with vendors for component sourcing and assembly. Implement engineering changes and continuous improvements in existing designs.

·       
Simulation and Prototyping:
Use circuit simulation tools (PSpice, MATLAB/Simulink) to validate designs. Build prototype boards, perform bench testing with oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and other lab equipment, and iterate designs based on test results.

·       
Analysis/Documentation:
Create detailed design documentation including electrical schematics, BOMs, block diagrams, component selection, Loss analysis, WCA and test reports. Conduct design reviews and incorporate feedback to refine designs.
