An Australian, VC backed on-grid hybrid storage company is looking for an FPGA Engineer (hardware or embedded software) to work with the Senior Power Electronics Engineer in further developing the flagship hybrid inverter/energy-storage product through the full product development life cycle for the next generation product that includes new functionality, such as higher solar PV MPPT rating, more efficient round-trip topology design, VPP integration, EV charger pairing and meeting US UL standards.
They have a patented storage boost technology and their product is optimised for Australian conditions and delivers more value for money than any competitor over the lifetime of the unit. The current version is available in the market.

Responsibilities
• Develop improvements in the electronics and software control systems based on simulations of field errors.
• FPGA development (Vivado, VHDL) to meet US UL standards.
• Verify new PCB boards that have been developed in-house, verifying that all the serial and ethernet buses are working correctly.
• Integrate FPGA into the apps on the Linux operating system.
• Work across the full product life cycle from concept through to validation and field trials.
• Simulation of electronics and digital control.
• Testing (verification and validation) of requirements to demonstrate the design is fit-for-purpose.
Requirements
• Degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering or another relevant field.
• Full PDLC, from concept to production, of electronics products for medium to large scale manufacturing.
• Demonstrated end to end work experience in developing, testing, and deploying FPGA based systems.
• Experience designing/testing power electronics systems.
• Knowledge of Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001).
• Preferably knowledge of US UL standards.
• Simulation experience (PSIM, LTSpice, Matlab).
• Experience designing/testing embedded or FPGA control systems with power electronics.
• Knowledge of system documentation (requirements, specifications).
• Ability to work safely with 230V without supervision. E.g., probing, debugging, adjusting power supplies, etc.
• Australian Citizenship or Permanent Resident.
