Overview of the role: We are looking for a Senior Hardware Design Engineer to join our team at TEIC. This role will be responsible for circuit design, simulation analysis, and test verification of power semiconductor devices.

What you will be doing in this role:

• Ensure hardware solutions, detailed technical design, PCB design (schematic and layout) meet technical specifications, including gate driver board and power board.
• Hardware design simulation calculations, including tolerance, worst case, derating, EMC, thermal simulation, etc., define technical specifications and prepare work reports.
• Design and development of control board and gate drive board for power semiconductor devices that rated 1200V or higher.
• Circuit testing, validation and calibration work, and complete test specifications and reports.
• Electronic material management, PCB package library management.
• Summary and validation of design experience/criteria.
• Collaborate with reliability engineers to complete reliability testing and coordinate with system engineers for integration testing.
• Hardware circuit analysis, including FMEDAs, FTAs, and diagnostic coverage analysis, DFMEA, DRBFM reliability analysis, etc., define technical specifications and complete work reports.
• Work with project managers and manufacturing departments or contractors to ensure timely and cost-effective prototypes are produced at the expected cost.
• Responsible for electronic circuit test fixture preparation.

We would like you to have:
