Power Electronics Engineer

What you'll do

• Design high-voltage (800 V) DC-DC converters, inverters, rectifiers, and power modules for the aircraft powertrain.
• Develop converter schematics, PCB layouts, magnetics specifications, cooling strategies, and packaging concepts.
• Build and maintain system-level simulation models for power converters and distribution architecture.
• Perform component sizing, switch selection, thermal analysis, and efficiency optimisation for aviation use.
• Lead prototype development, including hardware bring-up, bench testing, and validation of converter performance.
• Support integration of power electronics with batteries, motors, generators, and the overall hybrid-electric system.
• Define HV distribution architecture: protection devices, bus segmentation, contactors, and safety logic.
• Document designs, validation results, test procedures, and compliance considerations for internal reviews.

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of experience in power electronics design, preferably in high-voltage or high-power systems.
• Strong knowledge of converter topologies (isolated/non-isolated), inverter design, and rectifier circuits.
• Proficiency with SiC/GaN devices, gate-drive design, magnetics selection, and switching optimisation.
• Hands-on experience with schematic design, multilayer PCB layout, and power-stage hardware development.
• Familiarity with HV safety, isolation, grounding, protection devices, and EMI/EMC considerations.
• Experience using simulation tools (PLECS, LTSpice, PSIM, or Simulink) for converter modelling.
• Ability to debug high-voltage hardware and evaluate performance through testing and instrumentation.
• Understanding of aerospace constraints: weight optimisation, thermal limits, harsh environments.
