Job Responsibilities: Schematic Design: o Define module partitioning and interfaces under mentorship, produce schematics, and join design reviews. o Perform component selection and derating calculations per automotive requirements; maintain the BOM and alternates list. o Prepare design calculation notes for key circuits (power, drivers, protections, sensor front ends) and worst-case analysis to ensure margins and reliability. o Specify layout/EMC constraints (return paths, plane splits/grounding, filtering, TVS selection). o Maintain design documentation and change records Circuit Simulation o Use PSpice/LTspice to simulate power startup, transients, load steps, and surge scenarios, then propose optimizations. o Analyze stability and loop compensation for driver/protection circuits (Bode plots, phase/gain margins). o Model EMC sensitive nodes and evaluate filter networks (common/differential mode paths). Hardware Testing: o Assist in prototype bring up and functional validation; perform bench tests with oscilloscope. o Execute power and thermal tests (efficiency, ripple, transient response, temperature rise/hotspot) and propose corrective actions. o Author test plans, cases, and reports; track defects.
