Full job descriptionJob Title: Power Electronics Design Engineer
Location: Rugeley
Term: 12 Months
IR35: INSIDE
Hourly Rate: £DOE
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.
The Role
As a Power Electronics Design 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.
Key Responsibilities
*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)
*Experience within Marine, Aerospace or Defence environments
*High-reliability or safety-critical systems experience
