Power Electronics Engineer – DCS QVE

Job Summary:

At Schneider Electric, we believe access to energy and digital solutions is a basic human right.

As part of our DCS 3-Phase Productivity team, you will contribute to developing reliable, efficient, and sustainable power conversion systems for mission-critical applications.
We are looking for a highly skilled Power Electronics Engineer with experience in high-power conversion, validation, and system performance optimization for 3-phase UPS products for QVE.

Key Responsibilities:



* Lead design, simulation, and validation activities for high-power conversion stages including DC-DC, AC-DC, and DC-AC systems.


* Perform testing and verification of high-voltage, high-power converters (DC-DC, UPS power stages) to ensure performance, robustness, and compliance.


* Support adaptation and validation of key UPS subsystems such as IGBT-based rectifiers, inverters, DC bus systems, static bypass circuits, filters, and magnetics.


* Conduct in-depth analysis including component stress evaluation, thermal analysis, EMI/EMC assessment, and derating studies.


* Drive design-to-cost initiatives by optimizing components, identifying alternate suppliers, and enabling VA/VE improvements.


* Ensure compliance with global standards (UL, CE, IEC) and support EMC, safety, and environmental qualification.


* Prepare detailed test reports, summarize findings, and recommend next steps for corrective or preventive engineering actions.


* Utilize advanced test equipment (oscilloscopes, AC/DC loads, power sources, probes) for debugging and performance characterization.


* Analyse existing 3-phase UPS designs to identify opportunities for reliability, manufacturability, and cost improvements.


* Collaborate with Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, Sourcing, and Quality to drive cross-functional design changes and product enhancements.


* Support supplier evaluation for new components to strengthen supply chain resilience and reduce product cost.

Qualifications:


* B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or related field.


* 6-10 years of experience in power electronics design, ideally with 3-phase UPS systems up to 2 MW.


* Strong understanding of magnetics, fuses, gate drivers, semiconductor devices, MCUs, and FPGA-based control systems.


* Hands-on experience reviewing PCB layouts for EMI/EMC, creepage/clearance, and thermal optimization.


* Solid experience in digital, analog, and power electronics circuit design, testing, and debugging.


* Exposure to NPI, QVE, productivity, or value-engineering programs.


* Proficiency with electrical CAD tools such as Cadence, Altium, or equivalent.


* Knowledge of 3-phase AC electrical systems including harmonics, power factor, grid protection, and safety fundamentals.


* Experience with DCS/PLC communication and integration.


* Familiarity with modeling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PSIM, or PLECS.
