Step into a dynamic Power System Design Lead position at the cutting edge of real-world defence challenges. In this role, you’ll not only maintain and enhance the performance of our in-service products, but also help shape the next generation of radar technologies designed to counter emerging threats. Your day-to-day work will be varied and impactful, applying core Systems Engineering principles across the full engineering lifecycle as you contribute to the development of radar systems that support and protect those who serve.
What you’ll be doing:
* Design of AC & DC power generation and distribution systems including sizing, protection, control, and the specification of power supplies and converters. This covers design and/or specification of an electrical supply system from 440V AC to circuit board voltage rails
* Motor drives, control, and positioning systems, EMC management and verification
* Specification of bespoke procured hardware and management of associated sub-contractor development programmes
* Design verification using a combination of simulation, analysis, and test techniques including support to EMC test houses and customer installations
* Generate design documentation and technical reports and provide Electrical Engineering expertise to the project team
* Adherence to Engineering Lifecycle and contributing to progress, peer, and design reviews
Your Skills and Experiences
* Comprehensive/expert knowledge in one or more of the following areas;
* Specification or design of electrical power systems including AC to DC conversion, distribution, regulation and conditioning including linear and switch-mode supplies
* Familiarity with Electrical Safety Standards, and ideally EMC qualification to DEF STAN 59-411
* Familiarity with relevant modelling tools such as Matlab/Simulink would be beneficial as would some awareness of SysML
* Gathering of evidence to support acceptance, fitness for purpose, legislative requirements, and safety
* A rigorous approach to the safety aspects associated with high power/high voltage equipment
