About the role

  • Lead the system architecture, design, and integration of advanced power electronic subsystems (e.g., converters, inverters, rectifiers) for industrial and energy applications.
  • Oversee the development, modelling, and simulation of system-level behaviours, including electrical, thermal, mechanical, and control aspects.
  • Possess knowledge on device characteristics (such as IGBTs and SCRs), test and certification of components.
  • Have ability to define comprehensive technical requirements, specifications, and controls interface documentation for power electronic systems.
  • Coordinate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to ensure seamless system integration and compliance with project requirements.
  • Strong understanding of electrical machines and their integration with power electronic systems.
  • Ability to assess in detail the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) calculations and implement mitigation actions to minimize harmonic distortion in power systems.
  • Conduct technical reviews, design validation, and root-cause analysis for system-level issues.
  • Manage risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and reliability analyses for power electronics projects.
  • Support supplier selection, technical negotiations, and collaboration with external technology partners.
  • Ensure all engineering activities comply with relevant industry standards, regulations, and internal quality policies.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering technical excellence and knowledge sharing.
  • Prepare and present detailed technical documentation, system specifications, and progress reports to stakeholders.
