POSITION OVERVIEW

This position is responsible for hardware/ electrical design for renewable (PV) energy products (inverters, EV chargers, energy storage, and system communication). You are a highly capable individual contributor, who can evolve to be a team builder as we continue our accelerated growth. You are responsible for leading the review and analysis of system requirements, executing, and evaluating designs, performing circuit analysis, part selection, capturing schematics, overseeing PCB layout, estimating BOM cost, supporting the build of successful prototypes, and leading complex engineering projects through the development phases to meet the requirements. Demonstrate the ability to plan, define, and execute the hardware development for energy electronic products with no supervision.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Analyze requirements and map them into an HW architecture,
Lead the HW design throughout the product life cycle from concept to mass production.
Electronic system architecture definition, design, and collaboration with 3rd party partners
Perform hardware bring-up and integration of electronic circuits including controllers, power processing subsystems, communication, RF, high-speed interfaces, board power tree, and hardware/FW integration.
Work with PCB layout engineer, antenna engineer, and mechanical engineer to implement optimized PCB layouts with compliance to EMC & manufacturing design rules.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
Minimum of 7 years of industry or university research experience in developing, testing, and troubleshooting electronics design for PCBAs.
Strong experience in RF design including selection of RF parts such as transceivers, antennas, RF switches, connectors, termination, and design for noise.
Strong experience in calculating, evaluating, and measuring link budget and propagation for narrowband and broadband signals, modulation schemes, and SNR estimation.
Experience with electrical simulation tools, such as ANSYS RF, SPICE, or similar.
Experience in designing embedded systems using high-speed SoCs, DRAM, flash, microcontrollers, PLC, CAN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, cell modems, USB, and linear and switching power supplies.
Plan and implement HW verification during product development, to ensure the electrical design meets specifications and requirements, by recording and analyzing test data.
Manage and release the electrical BOMs using configuration management processes and systems on an Agile system such as Arena and Jira to bug tracking.
Support of failure analysis, investigation, and resolution of EMC issues in EMC/EMI compliance testing
Resolving DFM feedback from contract manufacturers
Mentoring young engineering talents.
Strong interpersonal skills and teamwork in a cross-functional environment.
Strong communication skills, with good knowledge of spoken and written English.
