• Working knowledge of failure modes and experience with troubleshooting subsystems and components of AC drives.
• Experience with PWM techniques and knowledge of motor control algorithms.
• Working knowledge of application issues with AC drives including mitigation methods - harmonics and power quality, motor insulation, common-mode currents, harmonic filters, dv/dt and sine-wave filters.
• Experience with magnetics design and specification.
• Experience with UL, CSA and CE standards and application to AC drives design (electrical safety, functional safety, EMC, energy efficiency) for design and qualification testing (e.g. UL/IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 61800-3).
• Experience designing and creating AutoCAD electric drawings for industrial motor control systems.
• Working knowledge of PLC control systems and user interfaces.
• Knowledge of product design using the Scaled Agile Framework environment (SAFe)
• Demonstrated application of Design for Six Sigma principles.
