Key Responsibilities:

The Power Electronics and Control Design Engineer is responsible for the design, development, validation, and deployment of power electronic converters and their associated control algorithms for grid-connected and islanded energy systems. This role focuses on delivering robust, standards-compliant control solutions for applications such as BESS, inverters, converters, and microgrid systems, while collaborating closely with hardware, rmware, protection, and systems engineering teams.

Main Accountabilities

  • Own the control system architecture and design for power electronic converters (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC).
  • Develop real-time control algorithms to ensure stability, performance, and grid compliance under normal and abnormal operating conditions.
  • Ensure designs meet functional, performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements across the product lifecycle.
  • Support system-level integration of power converters into microgrids, utility, data center, and industrial environments.
  • Drive technical decisions related to control strategy trade-offs, dynamic performance,

and grid interaction behavior.

  • Provide technical leadership during product development reviews, design validation, and customer or third-party technical discussions.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering processes, modeling practices, and design standards.

Key Activities and Responsibilities

    • Design and implement control algorithms for:
      • Grid-forming, grid-following, and grid-supporting converters
      • Voltage, current, power, frequency, and DC-link regulation
      • Droop control, virtual inertia, PLL-based synchronization
    • Develop fast inner-loop and supervisory-level controls with appropriate bandwidth separation.
    • Implement fault ride-through, black-start, islanding, and reconnection logic.
Minimum Qualifications:
      • Strong fundamentals in:
        • Control theory (linear and non-linear systems)
        • Power electronics and electrical power systems
      • Hands-on experience with:
        • Inverter-based resources (BESS, PV, PCS, UPS, STATCOM, etc.)
        • Embedded control implementation
      • Prociency in modeling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink/PLECS).
      • Understanding of grid dynamics, fault behavior, and protection coordination.
      • Ability to interpret electrical schematics and system-level architecture.
      • Collaborate with system architects, EMS/SCADA teams, protection engineers, and product managers.
      • Support proposal, concept, and customer-specic solution development with

    technical input.

      • Provide clear documentation of control logic, interfaces, assumptions, and limitations.
      • Validate control performance through:
        • Software-in-the-Loop (SIL)
        • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)
        • Factory and site acceptance testing (FAT/SAT)

    Soft Skills & Behavioral Competencies

      • Systems thinker – able to balance control performance, hardware limits, grid requirements, and operational constraints.
      • Structured problem solver – approaches complex technical problems methodically and transparently.
      • Technical communicator – can clearly explain control concepts to non-controls experts, customers, and leadership.

     

    Collaborative mindset – works effectively across disciplines and organizational
      • Ownership & accountability – takes responsibility for technical outcomes from concept through deployment.
      • Adaptability – comfortable working in evolving architectures and handling ambiguous requirements.
      • Attention to detail – maintains rigor in documentation, testing, and validation.
Preferred Qualifications:
    • Experience with microgrid controllers, EMS, or plant-level supervisory controls.
    • Exposure to utility interconnection processes and grid code compliance.
    • Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering or related eld.
