Engineer II Control System Design Engineer (Power Electronics)

Schneider Electric, a leading provider of energy management and automation solutions, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Control System Design Engineer to join our Data Centre Systems (DCS) R&D.

In this role, you will be responsible for the design, development, and integration of 3-phase UPS specifically for data centre applications.

Responsibilities and Requirements:


* Hands on experience with control of power electronics (such as PWM strategies for 3-phase Inverters, sampling of PWM-operated converters and control loops of 3-phase converters such as current control, DC voltage control, and active or reactive power control).


* Analysing and optimizing the performance of power converters to ensure stability, reliability, and high efficiency.


* Modelling & simulation of converters, and selection of optimal control strategy for each converter.

Understand the key milestones in a project plan and ensuring the technical risks are understood and mitigated in accordance with the plan.


* Support a standard product methodology mindset, seek opportunities to re-use solutions, improve quality and reliability whilst reducing the delivery timeline.


* Lead the development and implementation of digital closed loop and control system for new UPS platforms.


* Play a key role in engineering design reviews and technical leadership, identifying potential project risks and technical weaknesses and proposing safe, reliable, and compliant solutions.


* Use fast prototyping and lab mock-ups to close learning loops and achieve results quickly.


* Keen attention to detail and a methodical approach to design and troubleshooting.


* Stay updated on the latest industry trends, tools, and technologies related to UPS control.


* Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware and firmware designers and system architects, to ensure seamless integration of power electronics systems.


* Knowledge and experience within Grid Forming Control is plus.


* Document design specifications, test procedures, and technical reports.

Preferred Qualifications:


* Master or PhD degree in Control Systems, or Power Electronics.


* 5 to 8 years of experience in implementing digital control systems (using DSP and FPGA) for three phase high power UPS and Power Converters.


* Experience in implementing adaptive control, optimal control, model predictive control based on Industry standards.


* Proficient and hands on experience in simulate, test, and validate control algorithms in simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL).


* Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to troubleshoot intricate control system challenges.


* Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or similar is must.
