Responsibilities
- Design and implement digital control loops (voltage, current, PLL, droop, etc.) for the rectifier, inverter, and DC/DC stages of Online UPS systems.
- Develop and tune control algorithms such as PI/PID, state feedback, repetitive control, and feedforward compensation for power conversion topologies.
- Implement high-frequency PWM/SVPWM generation, ADC sampling, and interrupt-driven real-time control on DSP/MCU platforms.
- Develop firmware for full UPS operating modes — online (double-conversion), eco, battery, and bypass — including seamless mode transitions.
- Implement battery charger control (CC/CV charging, charge/discharge management) and coordinate with the BMS for safe battery operation.
- Optimize control performance for transient response, output THD, efficiency, and stability across line and load conditions.
- Design firmware-level protection and fault-handling logic (OV/UV/OC/OTP, short-circuit, inrush, output overload).
- Perform bring-up, debugging, and waveform analysis using oscilloscopes, current probes, and emulators.
- Collaborate with power hardware, magnetics, and system engineers to co-tune control loops with the physical plant.
- Support compliance testing (efficiency, THD, hold-up time, EMI) and resolve firmware-related issues.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Control Engineering, or a related field.
- 7+ years of firmware development experience focused on digital power conversion.
- Proven track record of shipping Online UPS firmware — hands-on experience with rectifier, inverter, and bypass control is essential.
- Strong hands-on experience implementing digital control loops for switching power converters (PFC, inverter, bidirectional DC/DC, LLC, phase-shift full-bridge, etc.).
