A Principal Power Electronics Engineer is sought by an innovative class‑leading Engineering company to lead a multi-skilled power electronics design team.
Working as part of a specialist team you will manage the design and delivery of industry‑leading power electronics equipment. Key duties will include:
- Defining and modelling the product system in line with the customer requirements to ensure the design meets all requirements and is stable in all operating conditions.
- Defining and producing the system functional description for the design to disseminate the requirements to the rest of the technical team and to ensure customer acceptance of the design is achieved at the earliest opportunity.
- Working closely with the project manager to ensure that the project execution is approached in the most efficient and risk‑reduced manner.
- Defining, controlling and monitoring the technical work packages allocated to the project delivery team.
- Scheduling and chairing design reviews of all project sub systems to ensure compliance with the technical requirements, product safety, risk (programme and technical), cost and manufacturability.
- Attending and presenting design review materials at the customer premises (as necessary).
- Reviewing and approving all documentation, component specifications and internal technical procedures.
- Identifying and communicating technical scope growth, specification creep and variations.
As a Principal Power Electronics Engineer you will need a degree or higher in Electronic Engineering, demonstrable experience in design and test of Power Electronic Converters (AC:AC, DC:DC, DC:AC) and/or Motor Drives and be able to demonstrate experience in using simulation tools including PLECS and/or Matlab/Simulink. You will also need a good knowledge of Power Electronics Design, Analogue and Systems Engineering, Digital Electronics, System Simulation, Embedded Systems and Control Engineering. Knowledge of EMC standards and mitigation through design is essential. Good communication and presentation skills, written and oral are also essential as is the ability to liaise with customers and suppliers as well as other internal functions within the company.
Ideally you will also have a knowledge of microprocessor control, software development, thermal design and specification of electromagnetic assemblies. Proven managerial and leadership skills i.e. experienced in managing day‑to‑day running of a team of 3‑6 multi‑disciplined engineers. A Post graduate qualification in Electronic Engineering (M.Eng or PhD) qualification would be an advantage as would IET membership or Chartered Engineer status.
