Job Overview
We are seeking a senior-level Principal Power Electronics Engineer to lead the design and development of advanced power conversion systems for aerospace applications.
* This role is suited for an individual with a proven track record in DC/DC, AC/DC, and DC/AC converter design, and deep technical expertise in wide bandgap semiconductors (SiC/GaN) and magnetics.
Main Responsibilities
The successful candidate will be responsible for:
* Leading the design, development, and validation of high-reliability power converters for aerospace systems.
* Architecting and simulating topologies for DC/DC, AC/DC, and DC/AC power conversion.
* Selecting and evaluating SiC and GaN devices for high-efficiency, high-density designs.
* Designing custom magnetics, including transformers and inductors, optimised for weight, size, and thermal constraints.
* Guiding thermal and EMI/EMC compliance considerations through the design lifecycle.
* Driving system-level trade-off studies and influencing hardware architecture decisions.
* Providing technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers within the power electronics team.
* Supporting qualification and certification activities in line with aerospace standards (DO-160, MIL-STD, etc.).
* Interface with systems, mechanical, and software teams to ensure seamless product integration.
Required Qualifications
To be considered for this role, you will need to possess:
* A degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (Master's or PhD preferred).
* In-depth experience in power electronics, with recent experience in aerospace or high-reliability sectors.
* Deep knowledge of DC/DC, AC/DC, and DC/AC power converters, including resonant and hard/soft-switching topologies.
* Strong experience working with SiC and GaN technologies in high-voltage, high-frequency applications.
* Expertise in magnetics design, including planar and high-efficiency magnetic components.
* Proficiency with simulation and development tools such as PLECS, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, and Altium or similar CAD platforms.
* Familiarity with aerospace design standards and environmental constraints.
