GaN Applications Engineer

Description

• Perform direct high-voltage/low voltage GaN device testing and characterization, including double pulse testing (DPT), short-circuit testing, SOA, ruggedness, and device performance evaluation of GaN devices.

• Define and optimize gate-drive solutions, including gate resistance selection, protection features, and isolation strategies.

• Design, build, and validate Evaluation (EVAL) boards for customer enablement and internal demonstration.

• Develop high-quality Application Notes, design guides, and technical documentation for customers and internal teams.

• Better to have certain understanding of AI data center power architectures, including front-end AC/DC and back-end DC/DC stages and high-voltage DC distribution.

• Better to have some understanding of advanced power topologies such as totem-pole and interleaved PFC, LLC resonant converters, Dual Active Bridge (DAB), etc.

• Perform device- and system-level simulations using LTspice/SIMetrix/PLECS.

• Conduct hands-on lab work using oscilloscopes, high-voltage probes, power analyzers, electronic loads, and other high-voltage test equipment.

• Provide technical enablement to FAEs and sales teams.

• Collaborate with R&D, product marketing, quality, and operations teams to support customer programs and product development.
