What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Inverter Design Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Inverter Design Engineer, you need a solid background in electrical engineering, power electronics, and circuit design, often supported by a relevant degree and experience in hardware development. Familiarity with simulation tools (such as MATLAB/Simulink, PSpice), PCB design software, and industry standards or relevant certifications like IEEE are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help you excel in this role. These competencies ensure reliable, efficient inverter designs that meet safety and performance requirements in demanding applications.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in inverter design roles, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in inverter design often encounter challenges such as optimizing efficiency, managing thermal performance, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Balancing cost constraints with high-performance requirements can also be complex, particularly when developing products for rapidly evolving markets like renewable energy and electric vehicles. These challenges are typically addressed through collaborative work with cross-functional teams, continuous learning on new technologies, and leveraging simulation tools and prototyping to validate designs. Staying up to date with industry standards and best practices is also essential for success in this field.

What is inverter design?

Inverter design refers to the process of creating electronic circuits or systems that convert direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). This is essential for applications like solar power systems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and electric vehicles, where energy stored in batteries (DC) needs to be used by devices and appliances that run on AC. Inverter design involves selecting appropriate components, ensuring efficiency, managing thermal performance, and meeting safety standards. Engineers in this field must balance cost, reliability, and performance to deliver effective power conversion solutions.

What is the difference between Inverter Design vs Power Electronics Engineer?

AspectInverter DesignPower Electronics Engineer
CredentialsEngineering degree, specialized in power systemsEngineering degree, focus on power electronics
Work EnvironmentDesign labs, R&D departmentsManufacturing, testing labs, R&D
Industry UsageRenewable energy, motor drives, power conversionPower supplies, motor control, renewable energy
Search/Comparison IntentFocus on inverter-specific roles and skillsBroader power electronics roles including inverter applications

Inverter Design specialists focus specifically on creating and optimizing inverters for various applications, while Power Electronics Engineers work on a wider range of power electronic devices, including inverters, converters, and power supplies. Both roles require similar technical skills and certifications but differ in scope and application focus.

At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

Raytheon's Effector Analog & Power (EAP) Team is looking for junior to mid-level engineers who have power electronics knowledge to help design robust power systems.

The EAP Department is responsible for the development, from concept to integration, of Telemetry and Flight Termination products; power systems from all up round to the lowest level power regulation; servo electronics supporting all mechanical motion in our products and low noise mixed signal electronics that provides the analog to digital interface to our front-end sensors. Each of these products generally operate in lower power and voltage ranges less than 10kW and 1000V.

What You Will Do

  • Design, analyze, simulate, test, and document power conversion (and related analog) circuitry. This circuitry will dominantly involve 3 phase inverter design, sensor interfacing and controller circuits. Main emphasis is on board-mounted power end use applications.
  • Hands on drafting & designing at a circuit card level.
  • Help to see circuit card development through its design phases, from requirements definition through initial integration testing.
  • Drive to meet schedule concerns. Define schedules for circuit level tasking.
  • Guide ECAD drafters through layout and routing activities, with moderate support from senior engineers. Assist in layer stackup definition.

Qualifications You Must Have

  • Requires a bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and 2 years of prior relevant experience
  • Design, analysis, test, and/or simulation experience with one or more of the following motor types is a plus: Brushed, BLDC or PMSM.
  • Experience using tools such as MATLAB, MathCAD, Mathematica, or other similar tools.
  • Experience with analog electronics design, including at least one of the following: FETs/BJTs, op-amp, high/low/band pass filters, clock/data termination, and comparator circuits.
