Role overview

We are looking for a Power Electronics Specialist to contribute to the design and evaluation of complex PCB-based power systems for the purpose of AI Training. This role goes beyond traditional design work, combining hands-on circuit development with the creation of structured validation and benchmarking approaches for advanced design workflows.

You will work across a variety of power applications, ensuring designs meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability standards, while also helping define how such designs are systematically assessed.

Commitments Required: 8 hours per day with an overlap of 4 hours with PST.

Employment type: Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave)

Duration of contract: 4 weeks+

Location: India, Brazil in PCB

Interview: short async test

Responsibilities

• Design and develop power electronic circuits (e.g., DC-DC converters, LDOs, AC-DC supplies, automotive power systems)
• Create and maintain schematics and PCB layouts using tools such as KiCad, Altium, or similar
• Select and validate components based on electrical requirements and datasheet specifications
• Evaluate circuit performance including efficiency, ripple, thermal behavior, and reliability
• Apply best practices for PCB layout, including grounding strategies, routing, EMI mitigation, and DFM considerations
• Prepare manufacturing deliverables such as BOMs, Gerber files, and pick-and-place data
• Perform validation through simulations, calculations, and design rule checks (DRC)
• Define structured validation methodologies covering electrical specs, component compliance, and design integrity
• Establish evaluation criteria for PCB layouts, including DRC/LVS, thermal performance, and power integrity
• Collaborate with engineering and cross-functional teams to improve design quality and evaluation processes

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field
• 5+ years of relevant experience in power electronics or PCB design
• Solid experience in power electronics design (e.g., DC-DC converters, voltage regulators)
• Hands-on expertise in schematic capture and PCB layout
• Experience with PCB design tools such as KiCad, Altium, or equivalent
• Familiarity with design rule checks (DRC), manufacturability, and EMI fundamentals
