Power Electronics Engineer (m/f/d)
alpitronic Americas LLC, Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, 28245
We are looking for a Power Electronics Engineer to take the lead on designing, modelling, prototyping and experimentally validating Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converters and other multilevel power converter systems. The engineer will be responsible for the entire development process, including simulation, hardware realisation, testing and technical documentation, while also contributing to scientific publications and the generation of intellectual property. This role is pivotal to our efforts in advancing our high-efficiency, high-reliability power conversion technologies for applications such as renewable energy, motor drives and grid-tied systems.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Take ownership of converter designs from concept through to prototype and validation
Evaluate trade-offs in topology selection, device choice (e.g. silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride) and control strategies
Develop detailed electrical and thermal models of NPC converters using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS or LTspice
Perform system-level simulations to evaluate converter performance under various operating conditions
Design and implement advanced modulation and control schemes in firmware or DSP/FPGA
Conduct experimental measurements including voltage/current waveforms, switching behaviour, thermal performance and total harmonic distortion analysis
Prepare detailed technical reports summarising simulation results and experimental findings
Collaborate on research papers and white papers and contribute to patent applications
Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and researchers
YOUR QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS
Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
Previous experience in power converter development
Expertise in multilevel converter topologies (especially NPC), gate drive design and protection
Hands-on experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSpice or equivalent
Good knowledge of programming languages such as Python and C
Basic proficiency in building and testing power electronics hardware
Familiarity with microcontrollers, DSPs and/or FPGAs is advantageous
Passion for research and innovation, and a willingness to learn and adapt quickly
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
OUR COMMITMENT
Innovative work environment in a young, dynamic team
High-tech projects in the future-proof sector of e-mobility
Opportunities for advancement in a growing company
A wide range of further training opportunitiesAttractive bonus system and performance-related pay
Additional company benefits
