Sr. Staff Hardware Engineer

Year    Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Job Description


Are you a passionate hardware engineer with a talent for designing and testing power electronics solutions?
Are you looking forward to joining the New Energy revolution leading the creation of cutting-edge physical prototypes and reference designs in the field of Renewable Energy, Battery Energy Storage Systems and further groundbreaking applications?
If so, we want you on our expanding Power System and Solution Marketing Team!We are seeking a highly motivated, talented and experienced Hardware Architect to play a pivotal role in the development of our next-generation power electronics systems, from schematic design to PCB layout and physical board evaluation.The ideal candidate has track-record of successfully leading the hardware development, validation and integration for power solutions (1 - 250 kW) which seamlessly combine several power converters (AC-DC, DC-AC, DC-DC), multiple MCUs/MPUs (ARM Cortex-A/M, Renesas proprietary core), numerous sensors and various connectivity ICs (WiFi, Bluetooth/LE, LTE).In this exciting role, you will be responsible for the entire proof-of-concept board prototyping: schematic design, PCB layout and simulation, BoM selection and board test and validation will be your sensational daily duties.
Exceptional communication skills will help you working with System Architect and Software Engineers to ensure successful system integration, in our world-wide, customer-oriented, expanding team.This position allows for a hybrid work schedule with a mix of work spent between office, test & validation laboratory and working from home.Role ResponsibilitiesIn this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Lead the design and development of complex power electronics hardware (1 - 250 kW), including power converters, application MCUs, sensors and other circuits.
  • Translate system requirements into modular and scalable schematics, PCB layouts and Bill-of-Material (BoM) selection.
  • Apply advanced knowledge of power conversion topologies (AC-DC, Inverter, Isolated and non-isolated DC-DC, LDO), magnetics, control theory, and discrete power devices (MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaN) to optimize designs for efficiency, electrical performance, solution scalability & modularity, BoM size & cost, and manufacturability.
  • Perform board level Thermal, Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI), EMC/EMI Simulations to predict system KPIs, identify potential issues and optimize design before physical prototyping.
  • Manage hardware aspects of power electronics projects, ensuring adherence to timelines, budgets, and project milestones.
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams (e.g., System Architect, Power Product Design Team, Software development team, external vendors) to achieve seamless integration of hardware with other system components (e.g., Software and Firmware, solution cabinet/enclosure, validation equipment, etc.).
  • Evaluate, troubleshoot, and debug hardware prototypes, identify root causes of failures, and implement corrective actions to the original design.
  • Author technical documentation for hardware designs and test procedures.
  • Release and maintain (sub-) systems board design on Altium platform to enhance Renesas solutions reuse.
Qualifications
  • MSEE is required, PhD is a plus, with 9+ years of relevant experience in Power Systems design and development.
  • Proven track record of successfully leading the development of complex power electronics system design and physical prototype validation.
  • Solid knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals, strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • In-depth knowledge of PCB layout techniques of power conversion topologies (Inverter, Isolated DC-DC converters, LDO, Switching Mode Power Supply like Buck, Boost and Buck-Boost DC-DC converters), magnetics, and discrete power devices (MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaNs).
  • Proficient with power electronics simulation tools (e.g. MATLAB Simulink, SIMetrix/Simplis, SPICE, etc.).
  • In-depth knowledge of PCB layout technique to minimize EMC/EMI issues and related compliance regulations.
  • Proficient with PCB design and simulation tools (e.g. Altium, Ansys, etc.)
  • Proficient with Thermal, Signal & Power Integrity (SI/PI), EMC/EMI Simulations flow and tools; mechanical stress simulations is a plus.
  • Proficient with various test equipment used for power systems evaluation (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzer, electronic loads, multimeters, etc.). Ability in using these tools to measure KPIs like voltage, current, power factor, efficiency, etc. is essential.
  • Excellent communication skills and demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with a wide range of world-wide groups including System Architects, Power ICs design teams, Software engineers, etc.
  • Experience in designing and developing power electronics systems utilizing Wide-bandgap (WBG) devices (e.g., GaN, SiC) is a strong plus.
  • Experience in Energy & Grid related applications is a strong plus.
