Power Electronics Developer

Your new company 

For our client from Cracow, we are looking for a Power Electronics Developer to join the newly created team. 

The Electronics R&D team works across a broad spectrum of technologies, including analog electronics, FPGA, SoC, power design, safety design, motor controllers, processor design, and power line modems. These technologies are integral to various control system applications.

• Define hardware requirements in collaboration with system, drive train, and battery management system architects and developers.
• Design and develop motor drive and battery management circuits, PCBAs, and modules, including component selection, schematic drawing, PCB layout, and prototype building.
• Conduct functional verification of motor drive and battery management system circuits, PCBAs, sub-assemblies, and electrical actuators.
• Collaborate with systems architects, mechanical designers, PCB layout, manufacturing, reliability, and SW engineering teams to design and develop power electronics products.
• Create test procedures and write test reports on functional, environmental, system operation mode, and manufacturing testing of custom power electronic designs.

• Analog electronics, including discrete design with Opamps, transistors, inductors, transformers, and capacitors for high voltage designs.
• Component selection of high voltage power semiconductors (IGBTs, MOSFETs, diodes) for gate drives and analog/digital measurement circuits.
• Power electronics design across various topologies in the AC or DC domain for motor controllers, battery management circuits, power supplies, and switches.
• Schematic design and PCB layout using ECAD tools like Altium Designer or equivalent.
• Knowledge of motor drive and battery control topologies, semiconductor component performance, and loss mechanisms.
• Experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, network analysers, signal generators, programmable loads, motors, and battery simulators.
• Expertise in PCB layout for optimal component placement, reduced stray inductance/capacitance, improved manufacturability, and EMC compliance.
• Knowledge of control algorithms and embedded programming for circuit design verification.
• Experience in power electronics design optimised for DFX requirements (manufacturability and testability).
• Understanding of EMC requirements and CE certification relevant to motor controller design in control system applications.

• B.Sc., M.Sc., or PhD in electronics, automation, cybernetics, or a related engineering field.
• Industrial experience in relevant power electronics development and industrialisation.
• Ability to approach complex problems structurally.
• Open-minded, professional English proficiency, and adaptability to working in a multicultural environment.
• Continuously raising standards, innovative, and solution oriented.
• Interest in electronics is an additional advantage.
