Sr. GaN Applications Engineer - Pune, India
Focus on GaN device testing and characterization.
About the role
This role involves direct high-voltage/low voltage GaN device testing, characterization, and the development of gate-drive solutions. You will be instrumental in designing and validating Evaluation boards for customer enablement and internal demonstrations.
What you'll do
- Perform high-voltage/low voltage GaN device testing and characterization, including double pulse testing (DPT) and short-circuit testing.
- Define and optimize gate-drive solutions, including gate resistance selection and protection features.
- Design, build, and validate Evaluation (EVAL) boards.
- Develop high-quality Application Notes, design guides, and technical documentation.
- Perform device- and system-level simulations using LTspice/SIMetrix/PLECS.
- Conduct hands-on lab work using oscilloscopes, high-voltage probes, and power analyzers.
What you'll need
- 4-7 years of hands-on experience in power electronics design and applications.
- Direct experience in high voltage/low voltage semiconductor testing and characterization.
- Experience with power electronics schematic and PCB design.
- Knowledge of GaN devices, gate drivers, and isolation technologies.
- Proficiency with LTspice, SIMetrix, PLECS, and PCB design tools such as Altium.
- Hands-on experience in high-voltage lab environments.
Nice to have
- Understanding of AI data center power architectures, including front-end AC/DC and back-end DC/DC stages.
- Understanding of advanced power topologies such as totem-pole, interleaved PFC, LLC resonant converters, and Dual Active Bridge (DAB).
- Experience with AI data center power systems.
Skills: GaN device testing, power electronics design, gate-drive solutions, AI data center power architectures, LLC resonant converters
