Job Description:
Warwickshire, UK
NOTE: This role is suited to a Principal Level engineer or Senior looking to step into a Principal role.£60-80k (flexible) + bonus + benefits
This role requires extensive experience of power electronics design aligned to e-mobility (electrified powertrain) applications - land / sea or air. Engineers should be able to take products through the design lifecycle to validated prototype.
Key elements:
* Technical leadership, customer facing and relationship management capability
* Power electronics design and development (electric powertrain systems) - essential
* Design of inverters, AC/DC or DC/DC converters, or OBCs for electric powertrain / vehicle applications or clean energy applications (typically from 60V to a few kV) - this is essential experience
Working in a customer-centric organization, you will be involved with taking power electronics designs from concept (blank page) to optimized prototypes, typically for e-mobility / electric vehicle applications but could also include clean energy applications, e.g., inverter / motor controller, DCDC converter, OBC, etc.
Note: e-mobility / electric vehicle applications could include automotive, aerospace, marine, defence, and more.
Principal Power Electronics Design Engineer
The role could suit an engineer with at least 8-10 years of relevant industry experience or more. Candidates should have:
* Strong communication skills (used to working directly with customers)
* Excellent track record in the design of power electronics (power inverters, AC/DC or DC/DC converters, or switch mode power supplies (SMPS)) for e-mobility / vehicle electrification or clean energy applications
* Experience designing digital and mixed signal control and interface circuits would be great
* Experience of PCB layout using tools such as Altium, etc., would be great
The company is involved with the design of electric drivetrain systems for e-mobility and clean energy applications (e.g., automotive electric vehicles). Candidates need experience of variable speed drives, DC-AC traction motors, PMSM control, DC-DC converters, or OBC, etc.
Required experience / skills: Senior / Principal Power Electronics Design Engineer. Degree
* Communication skills (used to working directly with customers)
* Experience of leading projects and technically leading would be required
* Extensive power electronics design ability (power inverters, AC/DC or DC/DC converters, or SMPS) for e-mobility applications (automotive / marine electric vehicles) or similar
* Experience of inverters / SMPS for vehicle electrification, motor control, or similar would be preferred (automotive, aerospace, marine, etc.)
* Good practical engineering aptitude including the development of power electronics hardware in a lab, rig, and vehicle environment for demanding applications
* Able to work in a fast-paced, customer-centric environment
Beneficial skills:
* Development of systems in simulation environment, HiL systems, etc.
* Experience designing digital and mixed signal control and interface circuits
* Experience of thermal management / cooling of power electronics systems would be great
The principal power electronics design engineer role is commutable from Birmingham, Redditch, Solihull, Nuneaton, Hinckley, Leamington Spa, Banbury, Daventry, Rugby, Coventry, and Lutterworth. Hybrid working is available.
