- (Thermal Management) Conducting airflow simulations and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to optimize cooling performance and airflow distribution.
- (Thermal Management) Utilizing analytical methods and finite element analysis (FEA) to assess thermal stresses and optimize heat sink designs.
- (Housing Design) Leading the design and optimization of housings and enclosures for power electronics systems, considering factors such as structural integrity, thermal management, and electromagnetic shielding.
- (Housing Design) Conducting structural analysis and simulations to ensure housing designs meet performance and reliability requirements.
- (Assembly and Interconnects) Designing electrical and mechanical interconnects for power electronic circuits/components/modules, ensuring robustness, reliability, and ease of assembly.
- (Assembly and Interconnects) Collaborating with electrical engineers to optimize the integration of electrical and mechanical components within the system architecture.
- (Design for Manufacturing) Developing and implementing design for manufacturing (DFM) principles to streamline production processes and reduce manufacturing costs.
- (Design for Manufacturing) Collaborating with manufacturing teams to identify opportunities for process optimization and scalability.
- (Design for Environmental Tests) Designing products to withstand environmental stresses such as shock, vibration, and humidity.
- (Design for Environmental Tests) Conducting environmental testing and analysis to validate product performance under real-world conditions.
- Collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to address and seamlessly integrate all aspects in the design process, including hardware, software, EMC, mechanics, DFx, functional safety, etc.
- Providing technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.
- Staying abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends to drive continuous improvement and innovation.
