Power Electronics Design Engineer

Position: Power Electronics Design Engineer (Permanent)
We are seeking an experienced Electronics Design Engineer to lead a multidisciplinary design team in the development of power and control systems. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to innovative product development across a full lifecycle—from concept to delivery—within a well-established engineering firm operating in the power systems and critical infrastructure sector.

Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Team Management

* Lead a team of electronics engineers using Agile methods (daily stand-ups, sprint planning).

* Develop and communicate design strategies aligned with company and product goals.

* Provide mentoring, training plans, and technical guidance to team members.

* Present design proposals and solutions to internal stakeholders at project reviews.
Product Design & Development

* Design and develop both digital and analog power/control circuits.

* Research and implement cutting-edge electronics and power technologies.

* Manage designs from initial schematic and layout through prototyping, verification, and product release.

* Develop simulation and modelling of electronic systems using mathematical tools.

* Ensure compliance with relevant safety and quality standards throughout the design process.

* Maintain clear documentation and reports in accordance with internal procedures.
New Product Introduction & Lifecycle Support

* Translate product requirements into practical engineering solutions while considering commercial constraints.

* Coordinate across functions (production, test, procurement) to ensure designs are optimised for manufacturing (DFx).

* Manage component selection for performance, cost, and lifecycle (obsolescence planning).

* Provide technical support for existing products, troubleshooting hardware/firmware issues in collaboration with internal stakeholders or third-party vendors.
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

* Work closely with R&D partnerships including academic collaborators and innovation centres.

* Support software/firmware teams in integrating control algorithms into new product designs.

* Interface with subcontractor design teams and third-party systems as needed.

* Deliver training on new products to technical and non-technical departments.

* Maintain awareness of emerging technologies and ensure solutions are future proofed.
Key Performance Indicators

* Timely delivery of product milestones within scope and budget.

* Reduction in design errors and support issues.

* Contribution to continuous improvement in quality and process documentation.
Compliance & Quality Standards

* Adherence to relevant quality, environmental, and safety regulations including:

* ISOISO 14001

* RoHS, EMC, WEEE directives
Qualifications & Experience

* Degree in Electronics, Power Electronics, Embedded Systems or similar.

* Proven experience in electronics hardware design, ideally in power systems or control applications.

* Proficient in schematic capture and PCB layout (e.g., OrCAD).

* Familiarity with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, function generators, etc.)
