Senior Power Electronics Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-voltage (>400V to 1kV) three-phase inverter systems for electric propulsion.
• Undertake analysis of three‑phase inverters including dynamic switching characteristics, efficiency and thermal design; design differential and common‑mode filters for high‑voltage applications.
• Design failure detection and protection systems for high‑voltage wide bandgap devices.
• Manage the complete lifecycle of electronics design, encompassing analysis, schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, and design verification.
• Conduct formal design reviews, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and laboratory validation of power electronic system.
• Lead root‑cause investigations of failures and define corrective actions, coordinating cross‑functional teams and applying structured problem‑solving methodologies.
• Deliver technical reports and design documentation to support certification activities and regulatory approvals.
• Ensure adherence to Evolito’s internal standards as well as applicable aviation industry regulations.
• Contribute to the advancement of departmental technologies, capabilities, facilities, and processes.
• Provide technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to junior engineers within the team.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering, or equivalent demonstrable industrial experience.
• 7+ years of demonstrable experience in electronics design, preferably within aerospace, defense or automotive industry.
• Strong understanding and experience with one or more of the following: wide bandgap switching devices (SiC MOSFETs), gate drive design & protection circuits, EMC analysis including magnetic design for filters, DC link filter design including capacitor selection, DC current ripple analysis including mitigation strategies.
• Experience with application of SiC MOSFETs in a high voltage, high altitude environment is desirable.
• Experienced in modelling, simulation and analysis of power devices for inverter systems.
• Knowledge of Matlab/Simulink and LTSpice.
• Knowledge of FEMM simulation tools such as Ansys Maxwell is desirable.
• Proficient in ECAD software for schematic capture and PCB layout; strong expertise in Altium Designer is essential.
• Skilled in conducting design analysis, including worst‑case error, tolerance, thermal, and component stress analysis.
• Familiarity with Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacture (DFM) principles.
• Hands‑on experience with power electronics design verification and fault diagnosis.
• Experience with ‘Double Pulse Tests’, MOSFET thermal path characterisation and motor integration tests is highly desirable.
• Experience in parameter validation of wide bandgap devices and associated test platforms.
• Use of lab equipment such as oscilloscope, function generator, impedance analyser etc.
• Experienced in generating relevant technical documentation for project milestones and regulatory approval.
• Knowledge of developing products that comply with aerospace design and test standards (such as ARP‑4754A/DO254/DO160) is desirable but not essential.
• Excellent communication skills (both written and verbal), good collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively across teams.
• Instinctive problem‑solving skills coupled with a sound analytical approach.
• A 'self-starter' attitude with the ability to thrive in a dynamic environment.
• Results‑oriented, with a focus on delivering outcomes aligned to business objectives.
• An interest in continuous professional development and combining experience with new or novel techniques.
