Product Validation Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Design and optimize motor controllers, DC-DC converters (buck, boost, flyback, forward, LLC resonant, etc.), VCU, Charger, BMS etc.

Develop inverter power stages, including 2-level, 3-level, and multilevel topologies with MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC/GaN devices.

Optimize gate driver circuits, dead-time control, and protection mechanisms for reliable and efficient switching.

Perform stability analysis, transient response testing, and loop compensation design for closed-loop converters.

Ensure high power density, efficiency optimization, and EMI/EMC mitigation.

Design multi-layer PCBs for power electronics applications, ensuring optimized trace routing, creepage/clearance compliance, ensuring minimal parasitic and optimal switching performance and thermal dissipation.

Conduct worst-case circuit analysis (WCCA), Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), and Hardware Safety Analysis.

Review schematics, layouts, and component selections with a focus on electrical design quality and robustness for EV controllers.

Perform detailed simulations, worst-case analysis, signal/power integrity analysis, stress analysis and FMECA.

Identify potential design risks and ensure mitigations are in place before release/validation.

Ensure DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly) and DFT (Design for Test) principles are incorporated.

Conduct structured peer reviews and generate design review reports.

Ensure all designs meet automotive standards for EMI/EMC, thermal performance, reliability requirements and functional safety.
