• Define topology selection, semiconductor device strategy (silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN)) and control methodologies
• Provide technical direction across simulation, hardware development, thermal design and EMC compliance
• Develop detailed electrical and thermal models of NPC converters using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS or LTspice
• Perform system-level simulations to evaluate converter performance under various operating conditions
• Design and implement advanced modulation and control schemes in firmware or DSP/FPGA
• Oversee hardware prototyping, test plan definition and experimental validation
• Conduct experimental measurements including voltage/current waveforms, switching behaviour, thermal performance and total harmonic distortion analysis
• Prepare detailed technical reports summarising simulation results and experimental findings
• Collaborate on research papers and white papers and contribute to patent applications
• Mentor junior engineers and interns to foster skill development and technical rigour
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including those specialising in embedded systems, thermal engineering, mechanical engineering, and systems engineering
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact in internal and external project reviews
  
  

Your Qualifications & Skills
