Power Electronics Design Engineer Dallas Texas M5C 1R6

Principal Duties and Areas of Responsibility-

 Responsible for performing engineering work and applied research in the development of state of the art power conversion products
Generate new product concepts and perform feasibility studies, including trade-offs, cost analyses, and simulations as required to assess the technical and economic viability of the concepts
Develop detailed engineering specifications for new high power converter products
Perform system level and detailed circuit design of power electronic circuits and associated control and interface circuits to meet the requirement of the engineering specification
Develop and analyze control strategies and algorithms for power converters and either implement the control algorithms using hardware and software techniques or provide detailed algorithm specifications and guidance to software developers responsible for implementation.
Conduct tests, analyze test data, and write test reports to record operating performance and provide data to support product compliance with customer or internal specifications and applicable third party standards.
Keep informed on the latest devices, techniques and technical developments related to power electronics

Qualifications-

 A degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering or equivalent and at least 7 years of power conversion design experience. An advanced degree with thesis work in a directly relevant field is an asset and may substitute for some industry experience.
Requires simulation experience using MATLAB and Simulink and extensive design experience using high performance DSP control techniques for three-phase converters and Inverters. Ability to code (or at a minimum review) control algorithms in the C programming language is also required
Design experience with large uninterruptible power supplies or frequency converters using IGBTs is required. Experience with grid-tie inverters and load sharing are an asset

** Must have at least 7+ years direct experience working as Power Electronics Design Engineer

** Must be familiar (working knowledge) with digital logic design and software design practices

** Must have knowledge and experience in modern control techniques for three-phase converters, modern PWM techniques (e.g. space vector modulation), and digital control techniques. 

** Must have a degree from a college or University that has a well established and respected electrical power design graduate program, along with a 3.5 GPA or better and a Power Electronics major

** Must have work experience in high-voltage, 3-phase, PWM,  kVA-level power conversion design 

** Must have design experience in large uninterruptible power supplies, active rectifiers and filters, frequency converters or variable frequency motor drives

** Must have xperience with three phase grid-tie inverters
