And they're not stopping there… solar power is only one of the technology applications they will be pursuing.
They are a team of curious, driven, and intelligent professionals seeking to make a difference and have fun while doing it. Now, they are looking for you, their new Senior Power Electronics Engineer.
What you'll be doing
As the Senior Power Electronics Engineer your primary goal will be the design, verification, and validation of microinverters that optimize and restructure solar panel systems to the world's largest and fast-growing clean tech platforms
Practically speaking, you will:
* Carry out full microinverter design cycle which spans circuit design and verification.
* Innovative transistor-level design of analog and mixed-signal circuits for new and derivative smart power management functions for renewable energy source applications.
* Design and modification of electronic analog hardware, systems, and PCBs.
* Verify PCB layouts to ensure compliance with job requirements, safety standards, and EMI standards.
* Work with product design lead and circuit design team on defining microinverter requirements, DFM and reliability checks.
* Prototype proof-of-concepts including hands-on testing. Development will include extensive hands-on testing with boards developed either in-house or by partners/customers, using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzer and another test equipment.
This is an exciting, challenging, and extremely rewarding opportunity for a motivated, experienced, and driven power electronics engineer looking to make a meaningful impact at a growing company and be part of building something completely new to the market. If you're intrigued, then we want to meet you.
