Senior Power Electronics Engineer - Magnetics The role As Senior Power Electronics Engineer - Magnetics , you’ll lead the design and development of high-frequency magnetic components for power electronic converters. You’ll take designs from concept through to volume manufacture, balancing efficiency, power density, thermal performance and manufacturability. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You’ll guide design decisions, work directly with customers on complex projects and mentor engineers as they develop their expertise in power magnetics. Key responsibilities Lead the design of high-frequency transformers, inductors and magnetic components for resonant tanks, including planar and integrated designs. Develop compact, low-loss magnetic designs for high-power-density converters, including wide-bandgap applications and designs operating above 100 kHz. Use electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical simulation to evaluate design trade-offs and verify performance through prototype testing. Define design methods and engineering standards, and review and approve magnetic designs and test plans. Support the transition to volume manufacture by addressing production constraints early in the design process. Work with customers to translate converter requirements into practical magnetic designs, and support feasibility studies and business development. Provide technical direction to project teams and mentor junior and mid-level engineers. Essential qualifications and experience Degree in electrical or electronic engineering. A master’s degree is preferred. At least 10 years’ industry experience designing magnetic components for power electronics. Expertise in high-frequency transformer and inductor design, including magnetics for resonant converters. Strong knowledge of ferrite and powder core materials, electromagnetic field analysis, high-frequency core and winding losses, and thermal management. Extensive experience with finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as Ansys Maxwell, COMSOL, JMAG or equivalent. A track record of taking designs from concept through validation to volume manufacture. Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. Experience in automotive, aerospace, industrial, medical or renewable energy applications. Experience leading engineering teams and customer-facing technical projects. Strong understanding of design for manufacture and production quality systems.
