What are the most common challenges faced by a Staff Power Electronics Engineer, and how are they typically addressed within a team environment?

Staff Power Electronics Engineers often face challenges such as managing thermal constraints, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and meeting stringent efficiency or reliability targets in their designs. These challenges require close collaboration with cross-functional teams, including mechanical, firmware, and test engineers, to optimize system performance and resolve issues early in the development process. Regular design reviews, simulation tools, and iterative prototyping are commonly used strategies to address these challenges, helping ensure that both technical and regulatory requirements are met. Fostering open communication within the team is essential for troubleshooting complex problems and sharing best practices.

What does a Staff Power Electronics Engineer do?

A Staff Power Electronics Engineer designs, develops, and tests electronic systems and devices that manage and convert electrical power efficiently. They work on projects involving power supplies, motor drives, renewable energy systems, and high-voltage circuits. Their responsibilities often include leading technical teams, conducting simulations, troubleshooting complex issues, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Staff-level engineers typically have significant experience and may mentor junior engineers or oversee project development.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Staff Power Electronics Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Staff Power Electronics Engineer, you need advanced knowledge of power electronics design, circuit analysis, and a bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering. Expertise with simulation tools like SPICE, PCB design software, and familiarity with industry standards or relevant certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE) are typically required. Strong problem-solving, leadership, and effective communication skills help drive project success and cross-functional collaboration. These capabilities ensure robust, innovative solutions and efficient product development in complex power electronics systems.

What You Will Bring to ChargePoint
  • Architect and design high-power AC and DC systems for consumer and commercial EV chargers
  • Collaborate with engineers in the development of high-power AC to DC and DC to DC converters
  • Design and develop advanced soft switching 40-100 kW, up to 2000 VDC multi-level converters
  • Design and develop a multi-level 100-200 kW, up to 2000 VDC four-quadrant grid tie inverter complying with grid interactive regulations in the EU and NA
  • Responsible for all aspects of product design, including modelling, key component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, code development, magnetics design, thermal design, regulatory and compliance considerations, and DFM
  • Utilize power topologies such as LLC, phase-shifted full bridge, flyback, forward, multi-level converters, including PFC (single phase and three phase), and associated techniques such as ZVS/ZCS
  • Model power designs using analysis tools such as PLECS, MATLAB, and Spice. Create designs based on both off-the-shelf integrated circuit controllers, FPGAs / PLDs, and DSP digital control using embedded software development experience
  • Work effectively with cross-functional teams to resolve early (architectural) and late (lab, test & validation)
  • Ensure high reliability of the product under stress conditions and environments for extended periods
Requirements
  • M.S. required (PhD desired) in Engineering (electrical, computer, or electronics)
  • 8+ years of experience in bringing power electronics products to market
  • Strong electrical/electronic design skills and understanding of system-level engineering tradeoffs
  • Experience designing AC/DC DC/DC power conversion systems
  • Able to drive solutions across software, mechanical, power, and thermal boundaries to assure great results
  • Experience working with x-functional teams: mechanical, software, and test
  • Current knowledge of industry standards for consumer and industrial products
  • Knowledge of EV charging standards is a plus
  • Some travel is expected.
