Job Summary: The role of the New Product Definition Engineer is to be involved with IC and board products and projects from inception to delivery. To be successful in this role, candidates must have a wide range of demonstrable skills for dealing with the whole product/project life cycle. Responsibilities include dealing with requirements capture, idea and concept generation, working closely with the development team, and involvement with evaluation of the solution against the requirements. Engaging with and supporting customers with new product introduction and support issues as well as gathering requirements is essential. Candidates must have strong theoretical and practical knowledge of electronics and power electronics. This position will focus on our low-power solutions for IC level products for off-line AC/DC power converters, with involvement in board and module level products, including gate drivers and auxiliary power supplies for applications such as industrial motor drives, solar and wind energy systems, electric vehicles, and high-voltage DC transmission.
Key responsibilities:
1. Responsible for defining and developing power IC and board products with innovative features.
2. Responsible for idea and concept generation.
3. Participate in the development of compelling IC-based and board-based system solutions, based on customer and market-driven requirements.
4. Validate new topology and product ideas using modern simulation tools and building lab prototypes prior to actual IC design.
5. Be hands-on in the lab, actively participating in design verification testing and characterization.
6. Design power supplies for validation and customer demonstration.
7. Cooperate with and provide support to the IC design team to ensure the IC implementation meets system requirements.
