Job Title: Power Systems Engineer - Power Electronics Design & Modelling
Location: Rugeley
Salary: £DOE
Are you an experienced Power Systems Engineer with a passion for designing innovative power electronics solutions?
I am looking for a talented engineer to join a growing engineering team, developing cutting-edge power electronics for high-reliability Marine, Aerospace and Defence applications. You will play a key role in designing and modelling advanced power systems, working on technologies including motor drives, inverters, converters and power management systems.
The Role
As a Power Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, modelling, simulation and validation of advanced power electronic systems. Working within a multidisciplinary engineering environment, you will develop efficient, reliable and high-performance power conversion solutions from concept through to verification.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and develop power electronic circuits including DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectifiers, inverters and motor drives
* Model and simulate power electronics using MATLAB, Simulink and LTspice
* Develop digital control strategies and optimise system performance, stability and efficiency
* Produce system-level simulations to evaluate transient and steady-state behaviour
* Support design verification through testing, analysis and correlation of simulation and hardware results
* Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to integrate power electronics into larger electrical systems
* Produce technical documentation including circuit designs, specifications and simulation reports
* Identify opportunities to improve performance, reliability and cost through continuous improvement initiatives
What We are Looking For
* Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics or a related discipline
* Proven experience designing power electronic systems, including converters, inverters or motor drives
* Strong knowledge of MATLAB, Simulink and LTspice for modelling and simulation
* Experience with system-level modelling, circuit analysis and power device selection
* Knowledge of digital control techniques and feedback control systems
* Experience working with semiconductor devices including MOSFETs and IGBTs
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a passion for innovative engineering
Desirable Experience
* Thermal management and EMC design considerations
* Magnetic component design (inductors and transformers)
* Experience within Marine, Aerospace or Defence environments
* High-reliability or safety-critical systems experience
