Sr. Staff System Architect – Energy Generation, Storage & Conversion （能源系统架构师）
Originally posted 10 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
Define and drive end-to-end architectures for energy generation, storage, power conversion, and grid-connected energy systems. This role bridges energy market requirements with semiconductor and power electronic technologies to deliver energy infrastructure solutions.
What you'll do
- Define complete energy system architectures, including grid connection and MV/LV protection schemes, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and microgrid solutions.
- Architect AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion systems spanning PFC, LLC, PSFB, and bidirectional topologies.
- Design distributed energy systems integrating solar PV, wind, fuel cells, and renewable sources while ensuring compliance with grid codes, safety, and reliability standards.
- Provide system requirement documents (SRDs), reference designs, and evaluation platforms for energy applications.
- Optimize system-level efficiency, power density, thermal performance, and lifetime reliability, including support for solid-state transformer-based systems.
- Guide internal product teams, power IC designers, controls engineers, and thermal/mechanical experts to align solution architectures with technical constraints.
What you'll need
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.
- 10+ years of experience in energy infrastructure, power electronics, power conversion, and grid-connected systems.
- Deep expertise in AC/DC and DC/DC power topologies (PFC, LLC, PSFB, bidirectional) and MV/LV power distribution architectures and protection.
- Strong technical background in power semiconductor technologies (SiC, GaN, IGBT, and MOSFET based systems), digital power control, and energy management algorithms.
- Experience with system-level modeling and simulation tools such as PLECS, SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, or CFD.
- Strong verbal and written English communication skills (minimum B2, preferably C1).
Nice to have
- Experience with energy metering and smart grid communication protocols (Modbus, IEC 61850, OCPP).
- Familiarity with EV charging station architectures (AC and DC fast charging) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration.
- Expertise in wide-bandgap (SiC/GaN) power systems and solid-state transformers.
- Knowledge of energy orchestration frameworks, microgrid control, and digital twins.
