- Lead electromechanical integration design - own the full lifecycle of packaging design for power converters and enclosures, integrating power electronics, mechanical, thermal, and electrical considerations to deliver robust, manufacturable solutions; drive DfM (Design for Manufacturing) and DfA (Design for Assembly) initiatives to ensure scalability, cost-effectiveness, and high reliability.
- Design and specify power electronic systems - specify, design, and document power electronic converter solutions tailored to system and customer requirements, including air- and water-cooling design, component selection and sizing, protection systems, and mechanical concept generation in close collaboration with CAD and power electronics engineers.
- Lead verification, validation, and compliance - plan and oversee testing, verification, and validation of LV (Low Voltage) and MV (Medium Voltage) converter hardware; ensure adherence to engineering standards, health and safety regulations, and relevant international and class society requirements; maintain BOM (Bill of Materials) control and design traceability through robust configuration management.
- Analyse and validate thermal and structural performance - lead or support thermal and structural analysis including simulation, validation, and environmental testing, working with mechanical engineering specialists to confirm performance under demanding operational conditions.
- Support project delivery and cross-functional teams - ensure designs meet cost, schedule, and quality objectives; provide technical support to tendering, testing, and commissioning teams; and work with component suppliers to achieve cost-effective realisation of custom parts including wound components and cooling solutions.
You are an experienced integration engineer with a strong background in power electronics packaging and electromechanical design for high-power systems, comfortable operating across both electrical and mechanical disciplines., Degree (BEng, MEng or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline - a formal qualification is advantageous, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements. - Significant experience in power electronics converter design and packaging for high-power LV and MV systems.
