Job Purpose

R&D ENGINEER- POWER ELECTRONICS

In Controls & Automation product line we are developing the technology platforms for the electrification of Subsea Control Systems and enabling of renewable energy sources like offshore wind, hydrogen, and wave.
Electronics R&D team is working within a wide range of technologies including analogue electronics, FPGA, SoC, power design, safety design, motor controllers, processor design and power line modems. These technologies are utilized in the different control system applications.
In Controls & Automation at TechnipFMC you will be involved in design, development, qualification, system integration and production of new products throughout commissioning and introduction to field operation. The development environment is multidisciplinary with HW, SW, system, test, mechatronics, and production engineering teams working closely.
We are looking to hire Senior Power Electronics Developers focused on Motor control and Battery management systems for our Hardware development team.

Job Description

• Define hardware requirements in collaboration with system, drive train and battery managements system architects and developers.
• Design and develop motor drive and battery management circuits, PCBAs and modules including selection of components, drawing schematics, PCB layout and building of prototypes
• Conduct functional verification of motor drive and battery managements 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, and system operation mode and manufacturing testing of full custom power electronic designs.

You are meant for this job if:

• BSc, MSc or PhD in electronics, automation, cybernetics, or similar engineering
• Industrial experience for 3-5 years of relevant power electronics development and industrialization.
• Capable of structural approach to solve complex problems

in multicultural environment

• Continuously raising standards, innovative and solution oriented.
• Having interest in electronics is an additional advantage

Skills:

The position involves working with analog electronics for high voltage designs, including components like opamps, transistors, inductors, transformers, and capacitors. Key responsibilities include:

• Component selection of high voltage power semiconductors (IGBTs, MOSFETs, diodes) for gate drives and measurement circuits.
• Power electronics design for various topologies in AC or DC domains, focusing on motor controllers, battery management circuits, power supplies, and switches.
• Schematic design and PCB layout using ECAD tools like Altium Designer.
• Motor drive and battery control topologies, understanding semiconductor performance and loss mechanisms.
• Lab instrument usage, including oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators, programmable loads, and simulators.
• PCB layout optimization for reduced stray inductance/capacitance, manufacturability, and EMC compliance.
• Control algorithms and embedded programming for circuit design verification.
• DFX optimization for manufacturability and testability.
• EMC requirements and CE certification knowledge for motor controllers in control system applications.

Practicalities:

• The position will report to Manager Electronics PLM-R&D in Controls & Automation product line and will be based in Kongsberg.
• Application deadline is April 30 2025.
