Senior Electronics Engineer

A fast-growing technology company in the energy and power-electronics sector is seeking a Senior Electronics Engineer to take technical ownership of high-power converter development. This role offers the opportunity to design, influence, and scale next-generation power-electronics products that are moving rapidly from concept to real-world deployment.

You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where innovation, pragmatism, and continuous improvement are central to how products are delivered. This is a hands-on role with genuine impact on architecture, roadmap decisions, and engineering culture.

• Lead the end-to-end design of scalable high-power DC/DC converters (typically 2–10 kW+), from initial architecture through production release

• Define and integrate control, sensing, communications, and thermal strategies to achieve high performance, efficiency, and reliability

• Conduct feasibility studies and concept evaluations that inform product direction and long-term roadmap decisions

• Work closely with mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and systems engineers to deliver robust, manufacturable solutions

• Apply DFMEA/PFMEA methodologies to support high-volume, high-quality production

• Develop and execute verification & validation (V&V) plans, enabling rapid learning cycles and iterative improvement

• Lead EMC and regulatory compliance activities, collaborating with test houses and external partners as required

• Drive continuous improvement across engineering processes, delivery, and technical standards

• Mentor and influence other engineers, contributing to the growth of a high-performing power-electronics team

• Degree in Electronic or Electrical Engineering (Chartered status or progress toward it is advantageous)

• Proven experience designing high-power buck/boost DC/DC converters for real-world applications

• Understanding of energy-storage systems, such as Li-ion or lead-acid batteries

• Strong analogue design fundamentals, including signal conditioning and measurement

• Proficiency with power-electronics simulation and design tools (e.g. Matlab/Simulink, Simetrix) and PCB design tools (e.g. Altium or equivalent)

• Experience working through New Product Introduction (NPI) phases, including PDR, CDR, FAI, and V&V

• Solid multidisciplinary awareness, particularly thermal design and mechanical integration

• Hands-on hardware experience supporting firmware-driven power systems

• Multi-phase converter architectures

• Advanced magnetics design

• EMC optimisation and mitigation

• Motor control or commutation

• Modern control theory or advanced control techniques
