Senior Electrical Design Engineer

The technology team is currently seeking an Electrical Design Engineer in the Systems development group. The design engineer is expected to develop electrical components and technologies for new power products and identify opportunities to improve existing products. The candidate must be comfortable working closely with cross-functional team members including mechanical engineers, manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, lab technicians and others.  Creative thinking in solving technical problems is highly valued.

The electrical design engineer in the systems group designs, develops, analyzes, and documents product designs which meet the functional, cost, reliability, manufacturability, and safety requirements of the customer or market.  The candidate shall be an effective communicator of information both verbally as well as in written reports and presentations.

Essential Responsibilities:

In this role you will Work as a Design Engineer in the systems development group of a larger technology organization with the following essential responsibilities:

• Develop new products, including product concept and schematics, design documentation, as well as testing and characterization of the design in the lab.
• Assure all component designs meet requirements including time-to-market and target cost.
• Define parts, modules, and assemblies in the form of component selection, schematics, and PCB layout to support various backplanes, connector boards and other PCB assemblies needed in support of system designs.
• Create schematics using Allegro Concept, as well as check and validate PCB layouts.
• Help mitigate EMC of the DC Power System design through filter design and following best practice EMC design through participation in PCB layouts as well as review of system busbar/cable routing.
• Review industrial market RFQs and help devise solutions based on existing system platforms. Design custom parts of system if needed to fulfill customer needs.
• Work as part of cross functional teams including manufacturing, sourcing, global engineering, and systems engineering in developing and on-going support of state-of-the-art power systems.
• Create manufacturing test requirements (MTR) for manufacturing test of the system product.
• Help document system schematic/wiring diagrams as part of customer drawing package.

Educational Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum of 5 years in engineering experience in power system design

Desired Characteristics:

• Knowledge of Datacenter, AI and OCP system design with emphasis on system control and communication. This includes 54V, +/-400V, and 800V DC power systems.
• Minimum 3 years experience using schematic capture tools such as Concept/Allegro to design backplanes for shelves, LVD control, shunt monitoring and other DC Power System electronics.

• Proficiency in designing and analyzing digital circuits.
• Knowledge of power management systems and the ability to design circuits that provide monitoring of DC power.
• Familiarity with OCP standards as well as relevant electrical safety regulations to ensure designs meet industry requirements.

• Experience debugging and solving EMC issues in power electronics.
• Ability to identify, quantify, and resolve technical problems.
• A self-motivated and collaborative team member able to communicate well with all levels.
• Must be able to work under pressure and meet project schedules.
• An energetic person with a drive for results.
