Power Electronics Engineer

Salary: up to £100,000

Location of work: Hybrid. You can work remotely when the task work suits.

Location of office: Milton Keynes

The role:
A growing start-up electronics business with very secure financial investment are looking to recruit a Power Electronics specialist to the team.

The business is using cutting edge disruptive technologies to design highly efficient power supplies that use high frequency AC and operate at very high speed. These power supplies can be applied to various applications and will make an offering that is different to anything currently available on the market.

The business is receiving interest from a wide range of customers in different industry sectors where their power supply solutions could be applied. Some of the industries proof of concepts are to be designed for are Agriculture, Emergency Services, Lighting, Mini-Grid and other Commercial applications.

As the work is so cutting edge and disruptive to power distribution you will have the opportunity to work on all conventional power supply topologies but will also be working with resonant topologies.

You should have experience with push-pull, buck and boost, flyback and resonant topologies and have experience designing power supplies to output High Frequency AC using GaN, SiC all in digital power with micro’s and fpga’s and frequencies ranging from 50 kHz up to Megahertz. The use of silicon carbide in product designs illustrate how cutting edge the developments are.

You should be a Power Electronics Engineer who can work through the full lifecycle, be comfortable working in a lab, and can use one of simulation packages mentioned below. You should also have magnetics and full design documentation experience.

Skills and Experience required:

• Power Electronics/ SMPS expertise
• Simulation programmes e.g. PCM, PSpice, LT Spice, SIMetrix /SIMPLIS
• Invertors/ Power Bridges
• PFC
• Resonant topologies
• EMC
