Lead Power Electronics Engineer

We’re working with a forward-thinking client in the power systems sector seeking an experienced engineer to take ownership of the end-to-end design of electrical and mechanical elements in power electronic systems. This includes converters, drives, and inverters used in medium to high-power applications. Key Responsibilities: Lead the design and specification of power, control, and thermal management systems tailored to customer needs. Deliver comprehensive electrical design including snubber circuits, gate drivers, and thermal models using technologies like IGBTs, MOSFETs, SiC, GaN, etc. Support fault level analysis and define system protection strategies. Create and maintain detailed schematics (Eplan or equivalent) and structured BoMs with full change traceability. Conduct system-level testing and validation — covering EMC, thermal endurance, overload conditions, and overall performance. Ensure compliance with health & safety legislation, industry codes, and classification standards. Document test results and lessons learned, feeding into continuous improvement and FMEA processes. Work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders, including suppliers and customers, and support tendering and commissioning activities. Who We’re Looking For: Degree-qualified in Electrical or Power Electronics Engineering (Master’s/PhD preferred). Strong grasp of power converter topologies, electrical machine control strategies, and related semiconductor technologies. Skilled in design for manufacturability, thermal management, and circuit protection. Open to short-term travel in the UK and abroad. Must be eligible for UK security clearance. If you're passionate about developing robust power solutions and want to work on meaningful, high-impact projects, let’s connect!
