How you will do it

  • Conduct system modeling, system simulation and verification using MATLAB/Simulink with Auto-code generation.

  • Conduct prototype testing on hardware-in-loop system, variable speed drives and chiller to verify control performance.

  • Support field issue trouble shooting and control method improvements.

  • Maintain electronic circuit designs with embedded processors and FPGA/CPLD.

  • Perform worst case circuit analysis and incorporation of appropriate reliability principles to ensure reliable operation over the environmental specifications.

  • Assist internal customers to develop, test and support PCBA related projects.

  • Independently conduct and apply cost analysis to feasibility studies on proposed designs or modifications to existing designs.

  • Develop schedules which accurately reflect the project milestones and adhere to them.

  • Integrate new and modify existing processes to cover all phases of the electronic development process.
