Interface components with control electronics (sensors, gate drives, relays, …)
Participates in design review with suppliers
Participates in the business award and components qualification
Specifies the power requirements to be exported to the control/command engineer (flux law, torque law, PWM strategy, protection thresholds, …)
Participates in the definition of validation tests of the power scheme with the validation engineer
Participates in investigation tests
Contributes to the problem solving
Prepares the power design reviews in accordance with DFQ system
Participates in technical core team meetings
