Senior Power Electronics Engineer

Power Electronics Design Engineer Warwickshire, UK
NTE: This role is suited to a Principal Level engineer or Senior looking to step into a Principal role.
£60-80k (flexible) + bonus + benefits Hybrid working: Leamington Spa.
This role requires extensive experience of power electronics design aligned to e-mobility (electrified powertrain) applications. Engineers should be able to take products through the design lifecycle to validated prototype.
Key elements:
* Technical leadership, customer facing and relationship management
* Power electronics design and development (electric powertrain systems)
Working in a customer centric organisation you will be involved with taking power electronics designs from concept (blank page) to optimised prototypes, typically for e-mobility / electric vehicle applications but could also include clean energy applications. (e.g. inverter / motor controller, DCDC converter, OBC, etc) NOTE: e-mobility / electric vehicle applications could include automotive, aerospace, marine, defence and more
More: Principal Power Electronics Design Engineer.
The role could suit an engineer with at least 8-10 years of relevant industry experience or more
Candidates should have:
* Strong communication skills (used to working directly with customers)
* Excellent track record in the design of power electronics (power inverters, AC/DC or DC/DC converters, or switch mode power supplies (SMPS)) for e-mobility applications or similar
* Experience of designing digital and mixed signal control and interface circuit design would be great.
* Experience of PCB layout using tools such as Altium, etc, would be required.
* Experience of inverters / converters for vehicle electrification, motor control, or similar would be preferred.
The company is involved with the design of electric drivetrain systems for e-mobility and clean energy applications (e.g. automotive electric vehicle etc). Candidates need experience of variable speed drives, DC-AC traction motors, PMSM control, DC-DC converters or OBC, etc.
Required experience / skills: Principal Power Electronics Design Engineer
