Are you an experienced Power Systems Engineer with a passion for designing innovative power electronics solutions?

I am looking for a talented engineer to join a growing engineering team, developing cutting‑edge power electronics for high‑reliability Marine, Aerospace and Defence applications. You will play a key role in designing and modelling advanced power systems, working on technologies including motor drives, inverters, converters and power management systems.

As a Power Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, modelling, simulation and validation of advanced power electronic systems. Working within a multidisciplinary engineering environment, you will develop efficient, reliable and high‑performance power conversion solutions from concept through to verification.

• 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

• 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
• Thermal management and EMC design considerations
• Magnetic component design (inductors and transformers)
• Experience with in Marine, Aerospace or Defence environments
• High‑reliability or safety‑critical systems experience
