As a valued member of our team, your insights and expertise will be pivotal in navigating the challenges of high-frequency planar magnetics for next-generation power solutions in data centers, focusing on enhancing their efficiency, reducing size, and improving thermal management for data center power applications. Your tasks will include:

  • Developing accurate loss models of high-frequency magnetic components.
  • Optimizing design methodologies while managing design tradeoffs.
  • Implementing magnetic integration techniques to address the growing demand for compact and energy-efficient power conversion solutions in data centers.
  • Validating your designs in an actual demonstrator project in the data center at EPFL.

Requirements

Any candidate who:

  • Has a good grasp of multiple power circuit topologies for AC-DC and DC-DC.
  • Has good experience in magnetic components design and optimization.
  • Has good experience in analog design.
  • Is familiar with power semiconductor devices selection and characterization or power packaging.
  • Has good experience in PCB schematic and layout.
  • Is familiar with one or some of the following simulation tools such as MATLAB & Simulink, PLECS, LTSpice, Ansys (Maxwell, Q3D), Altium, and Orcad.
  • Is familiar with embedding programming.
  • Has good experience in making laboratory prototypes, debugging, and testing power electronic circuits.
  • Is target-oriented, structured, eager to learn new things, and ready to think outside the box.
  • Can communicate in English at a good level.
