The company is focused on delivering innovative, high-power solutions that enable the transition to cleaner, more efficient mobility and machinery. The Senior Electronics Engineer will play a critical role in the design and delivery of power electronic systems, specifically bidirectional DC/DC converters, for use in advanced electric and hybrid powertrains. This is a hands-on, technically challenging role that requires deep understanding of both theoretical and applied electronics.

Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Electronics Engineer, you’ll be responsible for designing, developing, and testing high-power electronic systems, with tasks including:

• Taking designs from concept through to manufacture, certification, and release.
• Designing high-power DC/DC converters (2–10kW+), including schematic capture, layout and simulation.
• Collaborating with mechanical and firmware teams on thermal, sensing, and control requirements.
• Performing thermal analysis and working with cross-functional teams to integrate thermal solutions.
• Supporting EMC compliance, including internal pre-compliance testing and working with external test houses.
• Leading DFMEA and PFMEA activities to ensure robust design and safety standards.
• Producing test plans, validation documents, and technical reports.
• Supporting junior engineers and driving continuous improvement across the electronics development lifecycle.

Qualifications & Experience

To thrive as a Senior Electronics Engineer, you should have:

• A degree in Electronic, Electro-Mechanical or a related Engineering discipline.
• Experience designing high-power buck/boost converters, particularly with battery-powered systems (Li-ion or lead-acid).
