Job Description

Socomec Group (Socomec) is a global leader in electrical equipment engineering and manufacturing, specialized in low voltage energy performance. Socomec North America (NAM) is Socomec’s organization overseeing all operations in North America.

About This Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Power Electronics Design Engineer with expertise in simulation, hardware design, and testing to join our team. The ideal candidate will possess extensive knowledge of high-power conversion systems, PCBA design, and converter topologies (AC/DC, AC/AC, DC/AC, including two-level and multilevel designs), as well as switching and control techniques, simulation methodologies, and high-power testing. Key responsibilities will include design, certification, testing, and leveraging simulation tools and techniques to model, simulate, and optimize various power electronic systems and components.

Key Responsibilities And Accountabilities

  • Develop and implement simulation models using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PSpice, PSCAD, PSIM, and other relevant software to represent power electronic systems and components.
  • Design and implement advanced control strategies for multilevel inverters to achieve optimal performance in diverse applications such as high-power Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS).
  • Conduct Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing for power electronics systems development, ensuring seamless integration and functionality using OPAL-RT’s and Typhoon’s real-time simulators.
  • Design and optimize PCBA schematics and layouts using Altium Designer to ensure efficient and reliable circuit board functionality.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for high-power UPS systems (around 3 MVA), including functional, performance, and reliability testing. Ensure tests cover all necessary specifications and standards, as well as safety.
  • Evaluate, design, size, characterize, and control IGBT-based power modules for various applications, considering efficiency, reliability, and performance.
  • Design and analyze AC/AC, AC/DC, DC/AC, and DC/DC converter topologies, controllers, modulation techniques, etc.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards such as UL1778, UL60950, IEC 62040, FCC Part 15, and other applicable UL and IEC standards in all design and development activities. Investigate and troubleshoot issues related to power electronics systems through simulation-based analysis, identifying root causes and proposing effective solutions to address identified challenges.

Essential Qualifications, Experience, And Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field. A master’s degree or Ph.D. is preferred.
  • Minimum of 3 years of related industrial experience in the field of power electronics.
  • Proven experience in the simulation and modeling of power electronic systems, with a focus on power converters and inverters for various power systems applications.
  • Demonstrated experience using COMSOL for physics-based modeling and simulation of power electronic systems, including thermal analysis, electromagnetic behavior, and Multiphysics interactions.
  • Proficiency in simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PSpice, PSCAD, PSIM, or similar software packages.
  • Familiarity with the design of magnetic components such as transformers, inductors, ferrites, chokes, and line filters for power electronics.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret simulation results and propose effective solutions.
  • Knowledge of digital control techniques, microcontroller-based systems, and firmware development for power electronics applications.
  • Familiarity with communication protocols for integrating power electronic systems into larger networks or control schemes.
  • Familiarity with hardware design principles and experience collaborating with hardware engineers to optimize system designs.
  • Proficient in creating and maintaining detailed electrical schematics and system layouts using EPLAN Electric.
  • Familiarity with battery management systems (BMS), energy storage technologies, and renewable energy systems.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment and interact with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with effective communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and prioritize tasks to meet deadlines effectively.

Compensation: $100,000 to $120,000 CAD.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
