Job Location(s):
Oragadam, IN
Job Description
As a constantly growing company, Danfoss is looking for motivated employees who want to work with us on our success. We are looking for a Lead - Power Electronics Engineer to join our diverse team.
Job Responsibilities
Your role is being envisaged as Lead Engineer- Power electronics in new product development team tasked with end-to-end product development of next generation of Variable frequency drives/AC-DC-AC converters for Danfoss power electronics & drives.
Key tasks
• Design and simulate circuits & topologies using design tools such as MATLAB, PSPICE, ANSYS. Essential to have hands on experience in three phase circuit topologies e.g. inverters rectifiers and power supply circuits, DC-DC converters e.g. buck, flyback.
• Select & carry out device characterization of power modules (Si IGBT/MOSFET/SiC/Diode) from 1200V to 1700V. Estimate power losses and predict thermal stress for various semiconductors using internal design tools or multi-physics simulation tools.
• Design magnetics (transformers, inductors) for various power converter topologies using tools like MATHCAD & PSPICE and realize design samples through vendor interactions.
• Design, simulate & realize analog/ digital circuit (operational amplifiers. logic gates etc.) perform various type of analyses and select appropriate components considering thermal & safety aspects.
• Guide team on carrying out EMC Tests as per relevant standards, debug and resolve EMI/EMC issues.
• Support design verification & product validation test activities as per applicable IEC/UL/marine standards.
• Review & provide guidance to the younger team members in design, prototyping, realizing, and testing of the product.
• Work with a multi-disciplinary development team comprising of mechanical, embedded electronics, supply chain and product owners to deliver products.
• Lead activities like DFMEA and adhere Danfoss processes for product development.
• Work closely with supply chain to create test instruction for PCBAs & units for production process control.
• Work with manufacturing & global suppliers to test & qualify components and assemblies during prototype development and resolve issues as needed
Success Criteria’s
• Assigned activities Vs Deliverables (Quality, Time, and Cost)
• Meet the agreed Performance Agreement Vs Criteria to be measured
