Power Management Engineer

Design, develop, and optimize battery and power management systems for hearing instruments and charging solutions. Specify, integrate, and validate power management circuits for rechargeable and non-rechargeable battery systems. Evaluate, specify, integrate, and optimize Power Management ICs (PMICs) and related power conversion architectures for future hearing instruments and charging systems. Define and implement battery management algorithms and power strategies, including State of Charge and State of Health estimation, charging behavior, protection mechanisms, and energy optimization. Collaborate closely with hardware and firmware teams to ensure robust integration of battery and power management functions into the overall hearing instrument and charger architecture. Develop and validate electrical and system-level models for power consumption, load profiles, and battery behavior under different operating conditions. Analyze and debug complex power-related system issues, driving root-cause identification and resolution. Contribute to the continuous improvement of power management platforms, methods, and development processes, and stay informed about emerging technologies and trends. Evaluate emerging power management technologies and energy management concepts to support future product generations.
