Electronic Hardware, Principal Test & Validation Engineer

As a power electronics engineer with at least 5 years of design experience, you will be responsible for: 

• Manage PEP (Product Evolution Process) topics, considering our design rules
• Managing product maintenance and evolution topics (Quality, Obsolescence, Adaptation, QVE)
• Investigating to identify the root causes of design issue, then to find a solution to deal with it.
• Selection and dimensioning of active and passive components, and justification of the design.
• Creating electrical schematics and overseeing PCBA design in collaboration with the PCB team.
• Conducting design tests on prototypes, debugging for compliance.
• Performing verification tests and debugging the boards.
• Supporting the validation team during the testing phase.
• Providing internal advice and knowledge sharing, helping with decision-making in technical topics
• Mastering technical specifications, ensuring knowledge and know-how capitalization, staying updated on technological developments.
• Accelerating our digital transformation with 3D simulation tools.

• Solid and proven knowledge in electronics (Power, Analog and digital)
• Solid and proven knowledge in power conversion and static converter topologies.
• Ability to work independently on the power conversion part of a drive, from concept to qualification phase (defining architecture, loss calculations, simulations, component specification according to standards, supplier relations, component qualification).
• Experience in magnetic component design for power (inductors/transformers).
• Understanding of EMC phenomena and mitigation solutions.
• Open-mindedness, analytical thinking, flexibility, and the ability to act independently and take responsibility.
• Good organizational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Strong knowledge of simulation tools (Matlab/Simulink, PLECS, Spice).
• Proficiency in 3D simulation tools (Maxwell, CST, Flotherm, 6SigmaET) is a plus.
• Ability to work in multidisciplinary and multicultural teams with diverse nationalities.
• Occasional travel within France and abroad may be required.
• Proficiency in English is essential, French language skills are a plus.
