Job Summary
We are seeking a Product Engineer to join our team with a focus on Power Supply Units (PSUs). This role plays a vital part in connecting design engineering with manufacturing operations, ensuring that PSU products consistently meet performance, quality, and delivery standards from initial development through to full-scale production.
Key Responsibilities
The primary focus of a product engineer for power supply is to maintain and enhance the performance of existing power supply designs. This involves:
- Product Characterization: Conduct thorough evaluation and validation of PSU performance across various operating conditions.
- Calibration & Testing: Perform PSU calibration and support test engineering in developing and optimizing test procedures.
- Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis: Identifying and analyzing problems with power supplies, both in the factory and in the field. This includes using various diagnostic tools and techniques to pinpoint the root cause of failures.
- Design Improvement and Modification: Working with design engineers to implement changes that address recurring issues, improve reliability, or enhance performance. This may involve modifying circuit designs, selecting alternative components, or updating manufacturing processes.
- Technical Support: Providing expert advice and guidance to internal teams (e.g., manufacturing, quality, sales) and external customers on power supply-related issues. This may involve answering technical questions, providing troubleshooting assistance, or creating technical documentation.
- Performing Hardware Testing: Conducting functional tests, signal characterization, power modeling, and system coexistence testing to validate design changes or evaluate new components.
- Writing Test Reports: Documenting test results, including observations, data analysis, and conclusions.
- Analyzing Failure Data: Identifying trends in failures to proactively address potential issues and improve product reliability.
- Developing Mitigation Plans: Working with other engineers and production teams to implement solutions that prevent future failures or minimize their impact.
- Evaluating Alternative Components: Researching and evaluating potential replacements for obsolete or problematic components, ensuring that they meet the required specifications.
- Managing Change Requests: Reviewing and approving change requests related to power supply designs, ensuring that they are implemented correctly and without compromising product performance.
Qualifications
To succeed in this role, candidates should possess a solid background in electrical engineering and hands-on experience in power supply design, testing, and troubleshooting. Key qualifications include:
- Bachelor's degree graduate preferrably Electronics Engineering or any equivalent.
- Proven experience in hardware engineering or a closely related discipline.
- Proficiency in operating test instruments such as oscilloscopes, programmable AC/DC power supplies, multimeters, electronic loads, power analyzers, and logic analyzers.
- Deep understanding of power electronics, including converter topologies, AC/DC circuitry, and magnetic component design.
- Familiarity with circuit simulation and CAD tools like SIMPLIS/SIMETRIX, LTSPICE, ALTIUM Designer, and Cadence Allegro.
- Experience in PCB design, layout, and manufacturing processes.
- Knowledge of relevant industry standards and compliance requirements for power supply design and testing.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Effective communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to collaborate across teams.
