Location: Devon, England | Full‑time | Hybrid
Your Role
You will be responsible for the end‑to‑end design of switch mode power supplies—from requirements capture and topology selection through to qualification and handover to manufacturing. Working within a multidisciplinary R&D team, you’ll balance performance, cost, and compliance while driving innovation in compact, efficient power design.
Key responsibilities include:
* Design, develop and qualify custom power supplies or modified standard products.
* Select and implement appropriate topologies (Flyback, Forward, Half‑Bridge, resonant, etc.) based on specification and performance needs.
* Prototype, test, and verify designs—ensuring compliance with safety and EMC standards.
* Provide PCB layout guidance and collaborate with CAD and mechanical engineers for robust, thermally sound designs.
* Define and maintain design specifications and support RFQs with technical input and cost analysis.
* Monitor and communicate project status, milestones, and cost performance across the organisation.
* Support DVT testing and oversee validation carried out by junior engineers.
* Identify risks, report deviations from project plans, and propose recovery strategies.
About You
* BEng / MEng / MSc in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (or equivalent experience).
* Hands‑on experience designing SMPS using topologies such as Flyback, Forward, Half‑Bridge, or resonant converters.
* Familiar with safety and EMC standards relevant to industrial or aerospace power systems.
* Strong analytical and prototyping skills—confident moving from theory to working hardware.
* Comfortable preparing technical reports, specifications, and cost breakdowns.
* Self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, and able to work collaboratively in a fast‑moving development environment.
Why Join
* Work on challenging, high‑value power electronics projects with tangible impact.
* Join an established and supportive engineering team that values precision, quality, and innovation.
