• Identify and evaluate emerging technologies (e.g., GaN, SiC, IGBT, Wide‑Bandgap semiconductors) for integration into next‑generation power supply products.
• Benchmark competitive products and define differentiated technical value propositions.
• Drive adoption of wide‑bandgap devices (GaN/SiC) to achieve superior efficiency, power density, and thermal performance.

2. External Partnership Development

• Manage and technically direct ODM/OEM design partners, contract manufacturers, and third‑party design houses.
• Define technical specifications, review partner designs, and ensure compliance with organizational standards.
• Conduct regular technical design reviews with internal and external engineering teams.
• Establish clear technical deliverables, milestones, and quality gates for all development programs.

3. Technical Leadership & Product Development

• Lead end‑to‑end design of industrial‑grade AC‑DC and DC‑DC power supplies from concept through production, including integration of electronics hardware and embedded software.
• Define and execute power supply architecture selection (LLC Resonant, Phase‑Shift Full Bridge, Flyback, Buck, Boost, Buck‑Boost, Feedback, DCM, CCM, etc.) based on application requirements.
• Drive PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit design and integration for compliance with IEC 61000‑3‑2 and EN 61000 standards.
• Lead transformer and magnetics design including core material selection, winding optimization, and thermal modeling.
• Conduct design verification and validation through simulation (SPICE, SIMPLIS) and hardware prototyping.
• Mentor and develop internal engineers in power electronics design principles.

4. Standards, Compliance & Quality

• Ensure all designs comply with relevant safety and EMC standards: UL/IEC 61010‑1, IEC 61010‑2‑201, UL/IEC 62368‑1, IEC 60950‑1, IEC 61558‑1, IEC 61558‑2‑16, EN 55032, EN 61000 EMC series, SEMI F47.
• Lead pre‑compliance and formal EMC/safety testing activities with accredited labs.
• Implement design‑for‑reliability (DFR) practices including FMEA, derating analysis, MTBF calculations.
• Establish and maintain design guidelines, best practices, and intellectual property documentation.

5. Contribute to Team Competency Building in Power Supply

• Develop and deliver internal training programs on power supply application, power supply design, topology selection, simulation tools and EMC counter‑measure approaches.
• Create knowledge bases, design guidelines, and reference designs for organization‑wide use.
• Support building the department a center of excellence (CoE) for power supply engineering within the organization.

What qualifications will make you successful for this role?

• Bachelor's degree (minimum) in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Master's degree or PhD in Power Electronics, Semiconductor Devices or Applied Physics is strongly preferred.
• Minimum 8 years of progressive experience in power supply and power electronics design, development, or advanced R&D.
• Demonstrated experience in at least two of the following areas:
  • High‑power AC‑DC, DC‑DC, or DC‑AC power supply design.
  • Wide Bandgap (SiC/GaN) device application and characterization.
  • High‑frequency and high‑power‑density converter design.
  • Power module and magnetics design and evaluation.
  • Power supply application engineering for industrial or energy systems.
• Proven end‑to‑end product development experience, taking power supply technologies from concept, architecture definition, and prototyping through qualification, certification, and commercial product release.
• Experience working in or directly supporting industries such as renewable energy, energy storage systems (ESS), EV charging, industrial automation, UPS, data center power infrastructure, or grid‑connected power electronics.
