General Description:
Supports with planning, performing tests, integration of electronic circuits and equipment, including medium to high-voltage (e.g. > 600V) switching amplifiers and circuits. An ideal candidate will thrive working with hardware in a hands-on role and will have knowledge of power electronics (e.g. linear power supplies, switching power supplies, transducer drivers, class-D audio amplifiers, power converters, or switch drivers) as well as analog, logic and radio frequency circuits. Testing will mainly include circuits based on high-voltage high-frequency SiC or GaN devices, but an opportunity also exists to work with microwave and mmW circuits, FPGA, and sub-systems. Support with augment the FPGA team directly through coding. Supporting and learning stress test / validating code. Learning and supporting with fabrication. Supporting test facility hands.
