Immediate Start
£45 - £55 Hourly
Contract/Project
Due to new long-term projects and company expansion, a leading engineering group has a new vacancy for a Principal Power Electronics Engineer to join the company on a contract basis. Working on a number of new innovative R&D projects you will develop power conversion products, motor drives and power control systems for advanced electric vehicles and electrification projects.
The Role
Collaborate closely with electronics, software, mechanical, and EDS engineering teams to develop innovative, practical and robust power electronic solutions.
Design and develop power electronic systems, including gate drives, power switching devices, and magnetic components.
Produce electronic schematics and provide technical oversight of PCB layout activities.
Architect and optimise power conversion topologies, balancing efficiency, performance, cost and quality.
Support and review design of DCDC phase of On-Board Charger to prototype standard.
Support test/verification of On-Board Charger prototype modules of existing design, understanding that there is limited scope to affect overall design approach.
Define control system requirements to enable effective monitoring, protection, and control of power electronic systems.
Commission, validate, and verify power electronic hardware against system requirements and applicable standards, conducting root-cause analysis and implementing corrective actions where necessary.
Support prototype builds, system integration, and test activities, providing specialist electronics expertise.
Deliver engineering work packages in line with project schedules, proactively reporting progress, risks and issues against key milestones.
Develop and maintain effective relationships with external suppliers and technology partners.
Support and review design of DCDC phase of On-Board Charger to prototype standard
The Person
Significant experience in development of power electronic systems such as DCDCs, inverters or rectifiers at high voltage (>400V) and high power (>10kW).
Experience in schematic design and the specification, review and evaluation of PCB designs for high voltage/current.
Use of simulation tools (e.g. PLECS, PSIM, SPICE) and other analysis techniques.
Able to produce detailed test documentation and to track and report progress.
Able to identify, prioritise and investigate functional issues with power electronics modules and propose short- and long-term resolutions to support project completion
