Overview

Principal Power Electronics Design Engineer – Warwickshire, UK. This role is suited to a Principal level engineer with extensive experience in electrified propulsion applications (e.g. traction inverters, DC-DC converters or OBC) for land, aerospace or marine systems. Salary £70-85k (flexible) + bonus + benefits. Hybrid working: Leamington Spa. The role requires extensive experience in power electronics design aligned to e-mobility (electrified powertrain) applications. Engineers should be able to take products through the design lifecycle to validated prototypes.

Responsibilities

• Power electronics design and development for electric powertrain systems and electrified propulsion applications (e.g. traction inverters, DC-DC converters, or OBC).
• Technical leadership, customer facing and technical project delivery in a customer-centric organisation. Take power electronics designs from concept to optimised prototypes, typically for e-mobility / electric vehicle applications, including inverter / motor controller, DCDC converter, OBC, etc.
• Engage with e-mobility / electric vehicle applications across automotive, aerospace, marine, defence and off-highway sectors. Lead projects and provide technical direction.

Qualifications and Skills

• Degree / master’s degree in electrical or electronic engineering (or equivalent).
• Strong communication skills (experience working directly with customers).
• Extensive power electronics design ability (power inverters, AC/DC or DC/DC converters, or SMPS) for e-mobility applications or similar.
• Experience designing digital and mixed-signal control and interface circuit design.
• Experience PCB layout using tools such as Altium (or similar).
• Experience of inverters / converters for vehicle electrification, motor control, or similar; experience in variable speed drives, DC-AC traction motors, PMSM control, DC-DC converters or OBC is desirable.
• Good practical engineering aptitude including development of power electronics hardware in lab, rig and vehicle environments for demanding applications.
• Experience leading projects and providing technical leadership.
• Experience of designing digital and mixed-signal control and interface circuitry and thermal management of power electronics systems is advantageous.
• Experience of magnetic design would be useful (e.g. for electric motors).
