The Opportunity
TXM Recruit are partnering with an innovative engineering business developing advanced electronic and power electronic systems for demanding automotive and high-performance applications. We are seeking a passionate and capable Power Electronics Engineer who thrives on solving complex engineering challenges and enjoys taking ownership of products from initial concept through to customer deployment and in-service support. This is an opportunity to become a key technical contributor within a growing engineering team, where you will have genuine ownership of product development rather than simply supporting a small element of a larger programme. Working within a multidisciplinary environment, you will be involved throughout the entire product lifecycle, influencing design decisions from inception, requirements capture and architecture definition through detailed design, validation, production introduction and service rollout.
The Role
As a Power Electronics Engineer, you will take ownership of electronic and power electronic products throughout their full lifecycle. You will be responsible for translating customer and business requirements into robust engineering solutions, driving design activities, supporting verification and validation, and ensuring successful introduction into production and service. This role offers a rare opportunity to see your designs progress from concept through to real-world application, working closely with stakeholders across engineering, manufacturing, quality and customer support functions.
Key Responsibilities
* Own the design and development of electronic and power electronic products from concept through to production and service deployment.
* Capture requirements and develop technical specifications aligned to customer and business needs.
* Produce schematic designs and support PCB layout activities.
* Conduct circuit simulation, analysis and design verification.
* Support system architecture development and technical decision-making.
* Drive design reviews and technical governance activities throughout the development lifecycle.
* Develop and execute validation and verification plans.
* Support prototype builds, product testing and production introduction activities.
* Conduct troubleshooting, fault-finding and root cause analysis.
* Support products following release, ensuring successful deployment and ongoing performance in service.
* Work closely with manufacturing, quality, programme and customer teams to ensure successful delivery.

* Awareness or exposure to DO-254 design assurance methodologies.
* Understanding of structured design, verification and validation activities within regulated environments.
* Experience working within automotive, aerospace, motorsport or other safety-critical sectors would be advantageous.
Why Apply?
* Genuine product ownership from concept through to service rollout.
* Opportunity to influence technical direction and product strategy.
* Exposure to the full engineering lifecycle rather than a narrow design function.
* Work on innovative electronic and power electronic technologies.
* Collaborative engineering culture with significant technical autonomy. xsngvjr
