Power Electronics Engineer

Power Electronics Engineer
Location: Nottingham (Hybrid - primarily on-site)
Salary: -50,000 - -75,000 (DOE)

We are working with a key electronics client that is pioneering a brand-new generation of AC drive technology - the matrix converter. This is a direct AC-to-AC conversion system that''s about to disrupt the industrial drives market.

Our client has been a trusted name in DC drives for over 35 years, but over the past decade they''ve invested heavily in R&D to bring this cutting-edge technology to life. They are now moving from their first production-ready model to a full range of high-power units from 22 kW up to 200 kW, and they need an experienced Power Electronics Engineer to help make it happen.

The Role:
You''ll be a lead power electronics engineer on the higher-power frames (90 kW and 200 kW). You''ll work on translating advanced R&D into robust, compliant, manufacturable products. This a perfect fit for someone who thrives on practical electronics engineering and real-world problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design of high-power AC converters, with a focus on practical power electronics product development.
• Turn research into production-ready industrial drives that meet market demands.
• Apply industry experience in electronics to solve challenges such as EMC compliance, thermal management, and design-for-manufacture.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth product introduction.
• Contribute to the development of the next generation of high-power models.

About You:

• 5+ years'' industry experience in power electronics product development - this is not a graduate or postdoc role.
• Experience with high-power electronics such as drives, inverters, DC/DC, AC/DC or AC/AC converters.
• Strong skills in design for manufacture, EMC compliance, and practical engineering for industrial environments.
• Able to work primarily on-site with high-power equipment, with some hybrid flexibility.

Why Apply?

• Salary range -50k75k, depending on experience.
• Work on cutting-edge power electronics that will change the industrial drives market.
• Join a business where you''ll have ownership, influence, and the chance to make a tangible impact.
