This is an opportunity to participate in a multifaceted and outstanding engineering group at one of the world's leading companies. Candidates will have the opportunity to work on highly technical topics related to some of Apple's latest products in power technology. In particular, the role includes participation in the design, simulation, testing and analysis of current and future wireless power products. The role requires broad knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA) modeling of the magnetic field as well as familiarity with common wireless power circuit architectures (inverter/rectifier/impedance matching networks). The candidate should have basic knowledge of the physics of magnetic materials, Maxwell's equations, transformer theory, circuit simulators and finite element analysis. This is a unique opportunity that will provide the candidate with real world experience in designing inductive power links with mass production intent. Candidates with a creative attitude and who are eager to undertake new challenges will find this role especially fulfilling.
Electromagnetic analysis of various geometrical structures (FEA)
Circuit topology/architecture design of wireless power electronics
Drive new techniques in simulation and measurement for improved efficiency and accuracy
Aid in risk assessments and co-existence analysis
Rigorously document designs and key parameters
Use of analytic tools (such as Excel, Mathcad, Matlab) for basic sizing, weight, system performance
Analysis and verification of designs with Finite Element Analysis (e.g. COMSOL Multiphysics), as well as circuit simulators such as Cadence.
Work with cross-functional team such as electrical engineers, mechanical designers and material scientists
Experimental validation of designs via measurement of key parameters and correlation to simulation and analytic predictions.
Statistical analysis of design perturbations
Participate in material selection through experimental/theoretical investigations, working with external vendors, and other cross-functional teams to find optimized solutions
Be a good communicator and demonstrate collaboration in a highly cross-functional environment
Understanding of physics of magnetic materials and experience with transformer theory and modeling
Background in electro-magnetics and a sound facility with Maxwell's equations
Experience with COMSOL and/or Maxwell FEA simulation tools and have strong analytical and problem solving skills
Experience with power transfer architectures (e.g. inverter, rectifier designs) and their time domain simulation
Minimum requirement of a bachelors degree in power electronics (ECE) program, or related area (e.g. engineering physics)
Familiarity with common lab equipment and measurement techniques including network analyzers, LCR meter, power supply/amplifiers, oscilloscopes, etc.
Must be highly motivated, self-starter with innovation, integrity and attention to details.
Excellent problem solving skills
Willingness to work in a fast paced innovative work environment
Outstanding verbal, written and interpersonal skills
MS or PhD in power electronics (ECE) program, or related area (e.g. engineering physics) and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.
