Power Electronics | Aerospace | New Product Development | Cardiff
If you’ve got a solid grounding in electronics and want to build real-world power systems — this is where it gets interesting.
This isn’t a role where you’ll be stuck doing small tweaks or repetitive work. As an Electronics Engineer, you’ll be getting hands-on with the design and development of real aerospace power systems — the kind that have to work first time, every time.
You’ll be supported by experienced engineers, but you’ll also be trusted to contribute, learn quickly and take ownership of your work.
If you’re someone who enjoys understanding how things really work — and wants to grow into a specialist in power electronics — this is a strong next step.
What You’ll Be Getting Stuck Into
You’ll be working on the design and development of AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion systems used in aerospace applications.
Day-to-day, that means:
* Supporting the design and development of power conversion circuits
* Assisting with simulations and analysis (LTspice or similar)
* Contributing to converter design, including PFC and DC/DC stages
* Helping design control loops and understanding how they behave in real systems
* Supporting EMC-focused design, including filters and mitigation techniques
* Assisting with testing, validation and troubleshooting of hardware
* Working alongside more experienced engineers to understand aerospace standards and requirements
You won’t be expected to know everything — but you will be expected to be curious, proactive and willing to learn.
The Kind of Electronics Engineer Who Will Do Well Here
This role suits someone who enjoys getting into the detail and understanding the “why” behind designs. You’re likely someone who enjoys problem-solving, isn’t afraid to ask questions, and takes pride in getting things right.
You’ll enjoy this if you want to build your confidence in power electronics, rather than staying at a purely theoretical level.
What You’ll Bring
* A degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (or similar)
* Some exposure to power electronics (academic or industry)
* Understanding of basic AC/DC or DC/DC conversion principles
* Familiarity with circuit simulation tools (e.g. LTspice)
* A willingness to learn and develop within a structured engineering environment
Experience with tools like Altium or exposure to EMC considerations is helpful — but not essential.
Why This Role Is a Great Step
This Electronics Engineer role gives you the chance to build real expertise in a niche, high-value area of engineering. You’ll gain exposure to aerospace standards, complex systems and experienced engineers who can help accelerate your development.
It’s an opportunity to move from theory into meaningful, hands-on engineering
