Power Electronics Developer

About Us: At TechnipFMC, within the Controls & Automation product line, we are pioneering technology platforms for the electrification of Subsea Control Systems and the advancement of renewable energy sources such as offshore wind, hydrogen, and wave energy.

Our Team: The Electronics R&D team works across a broad spectrum of technologies, including analog electronics, FPGA, SoC, power design, safety design, motor controllers, processor design, and power line modems. These technologies are integral to various control system applications.

Your Role: As part of the Controls & Automation team at TechnipFMC, you will engage in the design, development, qualification, system integration, and production of new products, from commissioning to field operation. Our multidisciplinary development environment includes HW, SW, system, test, mechatronics, and production engineering teams working collaboratively.

We are seeking Senior Power Electronics Developers with expertise in motor control and battery management systems to join our Hardware development team.

• Define hardware requirements in collaboration with system, drive train, and battery management system architects and developers.
• Design and develop motor drive and battery management circuits, PCBAs, and modules, including component selection, schematic drawing, PCB layout, and prototype building.
• Conduct functional verification of motor drive and battery management system circuits, PCBAs, sub-assemblies, and electrical actuators.
• Collaborate with systems architects, mechanical designers, PCB layout, manufacturing, reliability, and SW engineering teams to design and develop power electronics products.
• Create test procedures and write test reports on functional, environmental, system operation mode, and manufacturing testing of custom power electronic designs.
•  Location:  Krakow (POL_Krakow), Rio de Janeiro (Ilha do Fundão) (BRA_RiodeJaneiro)
  
  

• Analog electronics, including discrete design with Opamps, transistors, inductors, transformers, and capacitors for high voltage designs.
• Component selection of high voltage power semiconductors (IGBTs, MOSFETs, diodes) for gate drives and analog/digital measurement circuits.
• Power electronics design across various topologies in the AC or DC domain for motor controllers, battery management circuits, power supplies, and switches.
