A fast-growing technology company in the energy and power-electronics sector is seeking a Senior Electronics Engineer to take technical ownership of high-power converter development. This role offers the opportunity to design, influence, and scale next-generation power-electronics products that are moving rapidly from concept to real-world deployment.
You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where innovation, pragmatism, and continuous improvement are central to how products are delivered. This is a hands-on role with genuine impact on architecture, roadmap decisions, and engineering culture.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the end-to-end design of scalable high-power DC/DC converters (typically 2–10 kW+), from initial architecture through production release
Define and integrate control, sensing, communications, and thermal strategies to achieve high performance, efficiency, and reliability
Conduct feasibility studies and concept evaluations that inform product direction and long-term roadmap decisions
Work closely with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and systems engineers to deliver robust, manufacturable solutions
Apply DFMEA/PFMEA methodologies to support high-volume, high-quality production
Develop and execute verification & validation (V&V) plans, enabling rapid learning cycles and iterative improvement
Lead EMC and regulatory compliance activities, collaborating with test houses and external partners as required
Drive continuous improvement across engineering processes, delivery, and technical standards
Mentor and influence other engineers, contributing to the growth of a high-performing power-electronics team
Required Experience & Skills
Degree in Electronic or Electrical Engineering (Chartered status or progress toward it is advantageous)
Proven experience designing high-power buck/boost DC/DC converters for real-world applications
Understanding of energy-storage systems, such as Li-ion or lead-acid batteries
Strong analogue design fundamentals, including signal conditioning and measurement
Proficiency with power-electronics simulation and design tools (e.g. Matlab/Simulink, Simetrix) and PCB design tools (e.g. Altium or equivalent)
Experience working through New Product Introduction (NPI) phases, including PDR, CDR, FAI, and V&V
Solid multidisciplinary awareness, particularly thermal design and mechanical integration
Hands-on hardware experience supporting firmware-driven power systems
Desirable Experience
Multi-phase converter architectures
Advanced magnetics design
EMC optimisation and mitigation
Motor control or commutation
Modern control theory or advanced control techniques
