  • Collaborate with mechanical, manufacturing, test, and control/firmware engineering teams to successfully design, validate, and manufacture traction inverters.

What You’ll Bring
  • M.Sc./Ph.D. in Electrical/Electronic Engineering and evidence of exceptional ability. ​

  • 4 or more years of relevant hands-on hardware experience with designing and testing wide band-gap high voltage power converters and power stages, while managing a team of engineers.​

  • Relevant hands-on experience with designing and testing power PCBA (integrated circuits, gate drivers, sensors/signal conditioning, power supplies) and proficiency with laboratory equipment.​

  • Strong fundamentals of power semiconductors (switching waveforms, loss mechanisms) and passive electronic components (capacitor, inductors, and transformers) – modelling and selection.​

Additional Preferred Skills​

  • Understanding of traction inverters design trade-offs in automotive and with respect to electric motors.​

  • Experience with power converter design for high-volume automotive applications.​

  • Working knowledge of Matlab and/or Python.​
