Job Description Summary
critical to customers power and energy needs for their high-performance applications. We work with some of the worlds major energy maritime and industrial organizations helping to enable a transition to energy efficiency and decarbonization including through our specialist motors drives and control technologies.
As Power Electronics Engineer you will be responsible for performing Low Voltage and Medium Voltage power electronics and electrical design tasks on Drive Systems projects. This is a technical role and will involve working in a multi-disciplinary team of engineers to specify design and support manufacturing & validation of megawatt-scale power electronics for Marine Energy and Industry applications.
Job Description
In this role you will:
- Specify design and document power electronics converters technical solutions to meet application requirements.
- Undertake all aspects of power electronics circuits design snubber design gating electronics design thermal design filters and reactors etc.
- Develop analytical and modelling tools to optimise the performance of thermal solutions conduct harmonics and common mode studies perform derating analysis.
- Conduct verification and validation testing of LV & MV power electronic systems in the megawatt range including full temperature heat run tests; electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)tests; overload and abnormal condition assessments; performance evaluation and optimisation.
- Ensure power electronic system designs comply with applicable health & safety regulations international technical standards and class society rules.
- Support attainment of on-time delivery cost and quality targets on projects.
- Provide technical assistance to tendering test and commissioning teams.
- Liaise with customers suppliers and sub-contractors.
We are looking for a committed and professional individual with:
- Relevant academic degree or equivalent qualifications in power electronics or a related discipline.
- Understanding of semiconductor device (Diodes Thyristors IGBTs GTOs IGCT MOSFETS SiC GaN etc.) and related gating electronics snubber circuits and thermal design practices.
- Willingness to travel within UK and overseas for short term working.
- Possession of or capable of obtaining UK security clearance.
What will make you stand out:
- Proficiency in modelling analysis and simulation of power electronic converter systems using standard industrial design tools such as: MATLAB Simulink PLECS SPICE Mathcad etc.
- Experience in control systems design and analysis for power electronic converters and drives.
- Good communication and leadership skills; demonstrates active listening and desire to learn.
You can expect from us
- Challenging and rewarding projects.
- A work environment where we understand that not everyone has the same expectations about their jobs careers and work-life balance and we are happy to discuss flexibility requirements.
- Attractive compensation.
- Flexible benefits so you can build a package that fits your personal needs. Some core benefits are: Employer pension contribution (not subject to individual contribution) Income protection Private Health Insurance and Life Assurance.
- 26 days vacation bank holidays
