Low Power Electronics Engineer

Low-Power Electronics Engineer - Energy-Efficient Motor Control

Location:

Reading (Office-Based) Salary:
Up to £100,000  Benefits Are you a skilled Electronics Engineer with a passion for low-power design and energy-efficient systems? Our client, an innovative and fast-growing engineering company based in Reading, is looking for an engineer to contribute to the early-stage development of a new generation of high-efficiency, low-power motor control solutions. The Opportunity This is a rare chance to join at the ground level of a forward-looking programme focused on minimising power consumption while maximising performance.

You'll play a key role in shaping system architecture, influencing how energy is managed, converted, and optimised across the product lifecycle. Working in a collaborative R&D environment, you'll help develop next-generation low-power electronic systems for torque-controlled applications where efficiency, thermal performance, and intelligent power management are critical.

Key Responsibilities Design and develop low-power electronic systems and components for torque-controlled applications Optimise power conversion efficiency across inverters, converters, and motor drive systems Implement energy-saving techniques, including advanced switching strategies and power management methods Work across the full product lifecycle, from concept through validation and production Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, control systems, and embedded software engineers Perform simulation, testing, and analysis with a focus on efficiency, thermal performance, and power loss reduction Support prototyping of energy-efficient, compact designs suitable for real-world deployment Requirements Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related discipline Proven experience in low-power or high-efficiency electronics design (e.g., converters, motor drives, power management systems) Strong understanding of power loss mechanisms, efficiency optimisation, and thermal considerations

Experience with simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, LTspice) Familiarity with control algorithms focused on energy efficiency is desirable Understanding of embedded systems and power management techniques is a plus Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving R&D environment What's on Offer Competitive salary up to £100,000 Office-based working environment in Reading Generous benefits package (including pension, bonus, and more) Opportunity to shape energy-efficient technologies from the earliest stages Clear career progression within a growing organisation If you're driven by efficiency, sustainability, and smarter energy use in electronics, this role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact on next-generation technology.
