Join to apply for the
Senior Power Supply Engineer
role at
Berkeley Lab This position is responsible for assisting in all activities in the full system life cycle of the power conversion systems for electro-magnets, whether pulsed or continuous duty, ranging from tens of watts to roughly 0.5 MW average. Responsibilities:
Conduct the study, development, testing and implementation of power supplies and related controllers for high stability, reliability and efficiency. Conduct the complex design of and maintain power supply test stands, and develop test procedures including tuning of PID control loops. Design highly stable and reliable unipolar and bipolar power supplies. Analyze power supply reliability and develop maintenance procedures based on MTBF for power electronics and associated hardware. Network with key contacts outside their own area of expertise to develop and maintain collaboration across diverse technical fields. Present at design reviews for the ALS development and upgrade projects. Provide and maintain documentation of power electronics equipment. Working in partnership with the Lead Power Supply Electronics Engineer, coordinate cost and schedule estimates for power electronics projects. May have occasional foreign and domestic travel to attend reviews, visit vendors and attend conferences and workshops. Participate in developing electrical safety procedures for high voltage, current and/or energy devices. Requirements:
Requires a minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 6 years and a Master’s degree; or equivalent experience. Minimum of 6 years of experience in power electronics, power supply or pulsed power R&D or design. Demonstrated experience in the design, development, testing and installation of pulsed power, power electronic, high-voltage, or high-current systems. Demonstrated strong technical understanding and experience in power conversion engineering and has provided creative solutions to a range of issues. Demonstrated technical understanding and knowledge base with as many of following technical areas as possible: high voltage, high current and high frequency switching, high stability, high accuracy and tight regulation power converters, etc. Desired Qualifications:
Experience with Analog, logic and mixed signal circuit design, analysis and simulation using SPICE, Simplorer, Saber, or similar. Experience with Mechanical design CAD modeling tools such as 2D AutoCAD or 3D SOLIDWORKS, Creo Parametric or equivalent. Experience with Electromagnetics analysis using 2D and 3D FEA simulation codes such as MAXWELL, OPERA or similar. Experience with Thermal analysis and design, and the use of Multiphysics FEA simulation codes. Experience with Programming skills such as MATLAB, FPGA languages, C/C++, and visual basics. We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
