Senior Engineer – Power Electronics/Magnetic Design (m/f/d)

Your mission

As a Senior Power Electronics & Magnetics Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design of high-density, board-mounted power supplies. You will push the limits of W/in³ through advanced packaging and high-frequency switching (MHz range), developing Point-of-Load (PoL) converters, VRMs, and isolated/non-isolated DC-DC modules that power the next generation of processors.

• Design & Optimization: Design compact AC-DC and DC-DC converters directly onto multi-layer PCBs, optimizing for footprint, efficiency, and thermal performance. Propose new concepts, design and optimize magnetic components such as inductors, transformers, based on simulation results, ensuring performance and efficiency.

• Magnetic Field Modeling & Simulation: Perform detailed 2D/3D magnetic field simulations to analyze and optimize the design of electromagnetic components and systems.

• Custom Magnetics Integration: Design and optimize "on-board" magnetics, including planar transformers, integrated inductors, coupled inductors, etc.

• Prototyping & Testing Support: Collaborate with hardware engineers and prototype teams to validate simulation results with physical testing and assist in troubleshooting and resolving any discrepancies between simulated and measured data.

• Tool Development & Automation: Develop custom simulation tools, scripts, and workflows to automate and streamline the simulation process for efficiency and consistency.

• Establish and maintain cooperation with industrial institutions and universities in Europe.

Your areas of expertise
