Paulo-Jorge BARROSO

Senior Power Electronics Engineer with hands-on expertise in the design, simulation, validation, and troubleshooting of advanced power conversion systems. I specialize in bridging deep technical execution with cross-disciplinary collaboration. Core competencies include: -Design of analog and digital schematics for power supplies, EMI filters (conducted), and power electronic hardware (DC/DC, AC/DC, DC/AC converters) - Modeling and simulation using SPICE, MATLAB, PLECS, and similar tools - Development of power stages, gate drive circuits, and sensor electronics - Design and analysis of control loops - Proficiency with analog/digital circuits, voltage and current sensors, microprocessors, and FPGAs - Strong background in magnetic component design Collaboration & Systems Integration: - Work closely with mechanical, PCB layout, and firmware teams to design, validate, and manufacture reliable power converters - Supervise PCB layout strategies to minimize stray inductance/capacitance, ensure EMC compliance, and optimize for manufacturability and signal integrity - Hands-on experience routing PCBs in Altium Designer, including high-power and mixed-signal designs with EMI and thermal considerations - Troubleshoot prototypes and resolve production issues using EE lab tools (oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators, etc.) - Plan integration, perform hands-on verification, and document simulation and test results for cross-team visibility Recently completed the Google Project Management Certificate to expand my ability to coordinate technical projects and support future leadership responsibilities.
