Partner with the best

This is a senior engineering role specializing in variable speed drives and power conversion systems, responsible for advanced electrical research, design, and testing of drive products and control systems, defining hardware architecture and performance requirements, leading early development phases, and applying deep expertise in power electronics, motor control, and analog / digital electronics while ensuring safety, compliance, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness.

As a Electrical Hardware Engineer , you will be responsible for :

• Designing, developing, and testing variable speed drives, motor control circuits, and power electronic systems
• Conducting / overseeing prototype builds for compliance to specifications, efficiency, and reliability
• Creating electrical schematics and PCBAs for power stage, control boards, and gate driver circuits
• Designing Altium-based wire harnesses and cabling for drive systems, including BOM generation and routing optimization
• Selecting components (IGBTs, SiC / MOSFETs, gate drivers, magnetics, sensors, protection circuits) for drive applications
• Developing and executing VSD performance verification test plans (efficiency, harmonic distortion, thermal, EMI / EMC)
• Analyzing failure modes, reliability, and drive performance improvements
• Developing mathematical models of motor-drive systems to guide design and validation
• Troubleshooting and refining prototypes / final products for power density, thermal, and manufacturability targets
• Resolving failure issues and identifying root causes qualify alternate components for obsolete or supply-chain constrained parts
• Creating and maintaining documentation : BOMs, harness drawings, ECNs / EDNs, test procedures, and design packages
• Providing sustaining engineering support for existing VSD products and addressing field-return / production issues
• Collaborating with Product Management and Procurement to drive cost reductions and performance improvements
• Evaluating and introducing new power semiconductors, passive components, manufacturing techniques, and design tools
• Managing prototype procurement, supplier quoting, ordering, and material inspection
• Ensuring compliance with UL, CE, IEC 61800-5-1, and IEEE 519 standards for variable speed drives
• Coordinating with external labs for compliance (safety, EMC / EMI, efficiency testing)
• Supporting the company's Quality Management System (ISO 9001 and customer requirements)
• Training and mentoring junior engineers on PCB, harness design, and VSD development practices
