Key Responsibilities

Design and Development

• Design and develop various DC-DC converter topologies (buck, boost, flyback, push-pull, forward) for embedded and industrial systems.
• Implement and validate protection strategies including inrush current limiting, transient voltage suppression, and electronic fuses.
• Select appropriate power components considering electrical, thermal, and derating criteria to ensure system reliability.
• Perform thermal simulations and stress analyses to evaluate worst-case conditions.

Validation and Testing

• Support schematic development and collaborate with layout teams for EMI/thermal compliance and safety standards.
• Validate and debug power converter prototypes using oscilloscopes, isolation probes, electronic loads, and power analyzers.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure successful integration into larger systems.

Documentation

• Prepare detailed design documentation including block diagrams, trade studies, derating analysis, and component justification.
• Develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICD) for subsystem alignment.
• Generate reports and technical presentations for Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews (PDR/CDR).
• Document simulation outcomes, lab results, and validation test summaries in compliance with engineering and quality standards.
