The review will mainly include a high reliability and quality power electronic systems.
The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on Power converter design experience with strong analytical capabilities and excellent communication skills.
Responsibilities
- Perform comprehensive Design reviews (DRs) for new SolarEdge products and technologies.
- Review power electronics architectures from concept stage through production release.
- Independently analyze and verify converter topologies, power stages, control loops, protection mechanisms, and overall system performance.
- Conduct engineering calculations and simulations to validate design assumptions and identify technical risks.
- Evaluate thermal design, component derating, power dissipation, cooling solutions, and long-term reliability.
- Review magnetic component designs, including transformers, inductors, and current sensing elements.
- Analyze EMC/EMI performance and filtering solutions.
- Assess PCB layouts for electrical performance, creepage and clearance, manufacturability, reliability, and signal integrity.
- Review processor-based designs, embedded hardware interfaces, and communication protocols.
- Identify design weaknesses, reliability concerns, production risks, and field failure risks.
- Issue detailed Design Review reports that document findings, recommendations, and corrective actions.
- Present review results to QnR, R&D, and management teams.
- Drive technical discussions and challenge design assumptions through fact-based engineering analysis.
- Support root-cause investigations and provide technical guidance on reliability and quality issues when required.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the development process.
- Masters ( M.Tech / M.S ) in Power Electronics or Related Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
- 10+ years of proven experience in power electronics design and development.
- Extensive experience taking products from concept and design stages through validation and mass production.
- Deep understanding of DC/DC converters, inverters, rectifiers, and switched-mode power supplies.
- Good knowledge of analog and digital circuit design.
- Experience with power semiconductor technologies including MOSFETs, IGBTs, and SiC devices.
- Strong experience in magnetic design, including transformer and inductor calculations.
- Solid understanding of EMI/EMC design practices and filter design.
- Experience with simulation tools such as LTspice, PSpice, Simplis, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent.
- Familiarity with microcontrollers, DSPs, processors, and embedded hardware architectures.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
- Excellent technical writing and presentation skills.
- Ability to communicate findings effectively to engineers, managers, and executive stakeholders.
Optional Requirements ( Preferred )
- Review of analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits for functionality, robustness, and reliability.
- Strong expertise in thermal design and thermal analysis.
- Experience with industry communication protocols such as CAN, RS485, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, and similar.
- Experience in solar, renewable energy, energy storage, EV, UPS, or industrial power conversion products.
- Familiarity with reliability engineering methodologies, failure analysis techniques, and design-for-reliability principles.
- Knowledge of safety and regulatory standards applicable to power electronics products.
- Experience conducting formal design reviews in multidisciplinary development environments.
Personal Attributes
- Independent and highly analytical.
- Detail-oriented with a passion for engineering excellence.
- Strong technical leadership and influencing skills.
- Comfortable challenging designs through evidence-based engineering analysis.
- Excellent interpersonal and cross-functional communication abilities.
- Committed to quality, reliability, and continuous improvement.
