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.
