Apply
Location: Wilmington, MA
Time Type: Full time
Posted on: Posted 2 Days Ago
Job Requisition ID: R11770
A Day in Your Life at MKS:
The Sr. Embedded Control Engineer is responsible for the development and support of firmware for power electronics ranging from 3-30KW. The successful candidate will design firmware and support new product introduction engineering of power electronics used for plasma and reactive gas generation. You will operate independently with minimal supervision in a fast-paced, dynamic, highly technical environment and multi-task competing priorities. In this role, you will report to the Electrical Engineering Manager.
You Will Make an Impact By:
Leading the development of DSP based digital control for power electronics projects that involve a multi-discipline engineering team.
Leading the development of inter-system communication between the system level elements.
Performing engineering analysis and implementing advanced control algorithms for power converters, RF, and microwave systems.
Developing, documenting, and executing DVT plans. Reporting on results and recommending appropriate engineering tradeoffs to optimize functional firmware performance and relative product cost.
Creating, controlling, and archiving the firmware development documentation.
Collaborating with power electronics engineers to integrate firmware with hardware components.
Participating in cross-functional project teams to execute upon new product developments involving power electronics for plasma generation applications.
Skills You Bring:
Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering with 5+ years’ experience. Advanced degree is preferred.
Record of firmware development from the conceptual stage to the product launch with DSP using C/C++ and/or MATLAB/Simulink.
Demonstrated experience in DSP programming for the design of resonant inverters operating at 400KHz or above, boost or buck converters, or single/three phase power factor correction topologies.
Familiarity with common power electronics topologies and their associated digital control (e.g., PFC, buck, boost, or resonant inverters).
Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) model-based testing for validating board level developments to system level state machines.
Familiarity with version control systems.
Familiarity with graphical user interface (GUI) development for hardware testing.
Solid analytical skills with the ability to simplify and present complicated systems.
Familiarity with semiconductor capital equipment preferred.
Ability to use lab tools such as oscilloscopes, power meters, etc.
