High Voltage Power Electronics Design Engineer
Overview
Our client is seeking a High Voltage Power Electronics Design Engineer to join their growing engineering team. In this role, you will take ownership of the design, development, and optimisation of high-efficiency DC-DC and AC-DC power converters (up to 2 kW), working across the full product lifecycle — from concept and simulation through to validation and production.
You will collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure that designs meet stringent performance, reliability, and compliance standards. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys hands-on design, innovation, and seeing their work make a tangible impact in real-world systems.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, simulate, and test DC-DC and AC-DC power converters up to 2 kW output power.
* Select and evaluate semiconductors (MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC/GaN) and magnetic components for optimal performance and cost.
* Develop control algorithms and digital/analog feedback loops for power regulation and system stability.
* Perform thermal analysis, derating studies, and ensure compliance with relevant safety and EMC standards.
* Work with PCB design tools (Altium, Eagle, or similar) to produce robust, manufacturable designs.
* Use simulation tools (SPICE, MATLAB, Simulink, or equivalent) to verify and optimise converter performance.
* Conduct design reviews, root-cause analysis, and troubleshooting of prototype and production units.
* Collaborate with systems, mechanical, and test engineers to integrate power electronics into larger assemblies.
* Support design validation testing, documentation, and certification processes.
Requirements
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or a related discipline.
* Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in power electronics design.
* Proven experience with high-voltage converter design, switching topologies, and control strategies.
* Strong understanding of magnetic design, component selection, and thermal management principles.
* Proficiency in simulation tools (SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink) and PCB design software (Altium, Eagle, etc.).
* Familiarity with industry standards (IEC, UL, CE, EMC/EMI compliance).
* Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
* Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and meet deadlines under pressure.
