JOB: Power Electronics Engineer At Schneider Electric In Bengaluru

APPLY HERE

Location: Bengaluru

Company: Schneider Electric

The role focuses on developing scalable, high‑efficiency power platforms for data centers and hyperscale infrastructure, leveraging advanced converter topologies, wide‑bandgap devices, and digital/analog control techniques.

The position is based within a global MNC R&D environment, offering exposure to industry‑leading power technologies and internationally coordinated development programs.

Key Responsibilities

UPS & System‑Level Contributions

• Design and validate UPS subsystems such as rectifier modules, inverter stages, DC buses, and energy storage interfaces.
• Support integration of power shelves within larger UPS or distributed power systems.
• Contribute to system‑level efficiency, reliability, and availability targets.
  
  

Power Shelf, OCP & ORV Architecture

• Design and develop power shelf and modular power conversion units aligned with OCP (Open Compute Project) and ORV (Open Rack Version) specifications.
• Contribute to 48V/400V/800V‑based power architectures, including AC‑DC rectifiers, DC‑DC bus converters, and point‑of‑load solutions.
• Support scalable, redundant, hot‑swappable designs for hyperscale and data center deployments.
• Ensure interoperability with OCP‑compliant racks, shelves, and system interfaces.
  
  

Power Converter Design & Technology

• Design and develop DC‑DC converters, including:
• LLC and other resonant converter topologies
• Phase‑shifted full bridge and high‑frequency isolated converters
• Perform topology trade‑offs, loss modeling, derating, and thermal analysis.
• Design and validate high‑frequency magnetics optimized for power density and efficiency.
  

Semiconductor & Control Engineering

• Apply wide‑bandgap devices (GaN, SiC) to achieve high efficiency and compact designs.
• Design and tune analog and/or digital control loops, including:
• Voltage/current mode control
• Resonant converter control strategies
• DSP or microcontroller‑based control implementations
  

Validation, Compliance & Lifecycle

• Perform simulation and modeling using tools such as PLECS, PSIM, LTspice, or MATLAB/Simulink.
• Lead prototype bring‑up, debugging, and design verification testing (DVT).
• Support EMI/EMC, safety, and regulatory compliance (IEC, UL, OCP requirements).
• Participate in design reviews, DFMEA, NPI gating, and engineering documentation.
• Provide manufacturing and field support, including root cause analysis and continuous improvement.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or related discipline.
• 3–5 years of relevant industry experience in power electronics product development.
• Strong fundamentals in:
• Power conversion (AC‑DC, DC‑DC, resonant, inverter stages)
• Power devices (MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaN/SiC preferred)
• Control systems, magnetics, and thermal management
• Hands‑on experience with power electronics lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, electronic loads).
  

Behavioral Competencies

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Ownership mindset with attention to quality and reliability
• Effective communication within global, cross‑functional teams
