Your main responsibilities include:
- Select and architect microcontroller platforms (8/16/32-bit) and design robust electronics architecture for controllers, VFDs, soft-starters, and power-drive systems
- Develop schematics and PCB layouts using PADS/Altium, and perform circuit simulation using PSPICE, LT-SPICE, or MATLAB Simulink
- Lead system-level design including magnetics design, thermal calculations, switching/conduction loss analysis, and EMI/EMC design considerations
- Execute Design FMEA, MTBF analysis, and ensure compliance with safety standards for safety-critical product development
- Perform board-level testing, system integration, fault finding, and coordinate with firmware teams during code development and validation
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, and third-party test labs to meet product requirements and certifications

- Proficiency in PADS schematic and PCB design tools, with experience in hardware communication interfaces (RS232, RS485, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB)
- Strong knowledge of control system design (PID), motor control theory (Induction/PMSM/FOC), and interfacing power electronics devices
It is a plus if you also:
- Experience with system design and modelling in SaberRD or MATLAB Simulink
- Knowledge of safety-critical product development standards and third-party certification processes
- Experience managing multiple concurrent development projects in an agile environment
