Design and develop power electronic circuits including DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectifiers, inverters and motor drives
Model and simulate power electronics using MATLAB, Simulink and LTspice
Develop digital control strategies and optimise system performance, stability and efficiency
Produce system-level simulations to evaluate transient and steady-state behaviour
Support design verification through testing, analysis and correlation of simulation and hardware results
Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to integrate power electronics into larger electrical systems
Produce technical documentation including circuit designs, specifications and simulation reports
Identify opportunities to improve performance, reliability and cost through continuous improvement initiatives

What We are Looking For

Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics or a related discipline
Proven experience designing power electronic systems, including converters, inverters or motor drives
Strong knowledge of MATLAB, Simulink and LTspice for modelling and simulation

Experience with system-level modelling, circuit analysis and power device selection
Knowledge of digital control techniques and feedback control systems
Experience working with semiconductor devices including MOSFETs and IGBTs
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a passion for innovative engineering

Desirable Experience

Thermal management and EMC design considerations
Magnetic component design (inductors and transformers)
