The ideal candidate will be familiar with all aspects of such a system: Control Algorithms for advanced switch mode topologies; Digital control processors; Power supply design and manufacturing; Innovative power supply topologies and techniques. Familiarity with chip design (digital and analog), battery technology, embedded code development and communication signaling would be useful too - We don't expect any one to be expert in all of these areas but the more you have touched, or are interested in learning about, the more you'll enjoy this position.
