This role supports the applications engineering team with power electronics laboratory work, focusing on silicon-carbide power electronic systems for vehicle electrification.
About the role
This role involves supporting the applications engineering team with power electronics laboratory work, including developing test assemblies where electro-mechanical integration is key. The position focuses on developing silicon and silicon-carbide power electronic systems to enable vehicle electrification.
What you'll do
- Conceive, design, fabricate, assemble, operate, and maintain bench-top setups to test onsemi parts.
- Develop electro-mechanical hardware, teststand control software, and digital controller interfaces for test apparatus.
- Work with high accuracy instrumentation in a power laboratory.
- Manage calibration of laboratory equipment and maintain supply stock.
- Abide by and enforce safe operating procedures and help maintain ISO certification.
What you'll need
- 5+ years’ experience in an electronics or electro-mechanical laboratory environment.
- Ability to translate schematics, block diagrams, and verbal descriptions into functioning hardware.
- Skilled with oscilloscopes, LCR meters, waveform generators, current probes, high voltage/high current power supplies, handheld meters, soldering, and PCB troubleshooting.
- Skilled with workroom tools such as drill press, band saw, and benchtop milling machine.
- Associates Degree in related field or equivalent professional experience.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with LabView software or similar graphical programming environments.
- Familiarity with digital controllers (such as NI CompactRIO).
- Familiarity with switching power electronic circuits.
- Familiarity with concepts of heat transfer, power dissipation, and cooling of test setups.
- Ability to manipulate data in Excel or other engineering calculation software (such as Matlab).
- Experience with printed circuit board design and/or circuit simulation in tools such as Spice or Simetrix.
