THE OPPORTUNITY We are seeking an experienced Electrical / Power Electronics Design Engineer to join our team and support the design, development, analysis, testing and validation of high-power semiconductor assemblies and power conversion systems.
The role covers the complete electrical design process, from system-level analysis and semiconductor selection through to detailed assembly design, simulation, testing, technical documentation and customer support.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Analyse three-phase power systems, including six-pulse, twelve-pulse and multi-pulse rectifier topologies.
- Perform transformer analysis, including star-star, star-delta, delta-star and delta-delta configurations.
- Assess harmonics, power factor, commutation overlap, voltage regulation and fault currents.
- Analyse transformer and semiconductor interaction, including leakage reactance, switching losses, reverse recovery and semiconductor stress.
- Design high-voltage series-connected and high-current parallel-connected diode and thyristor assemblies.
- Develop voltage and current sharing networks, including tolerance and worst-case assessments.
- Design RC snubbers, surge suppression and crowbar protection systems.
- Design low-inductance busbars and current paths, considering current density, short-circuit forces, stray inductance and thermal performance.
- Carry out steady-state and transient thermal analysis for convection, forced-air and water-cooled systems.
- Establish design margins, derating strategies and lifetime assessments.
- Support testing, validation, technical investigations and customer requirements through to final technical documentation.
You will have:
- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering or a related discipline.
- At least 5 years' relevant experience in a power electronics or high-power electrical engineering environment.
- Strong knowledge of transformers, power semiconductors and three-phase power systems.
- Experience using simulation tools such as SPICE and PLECS.
- The ability to perform first-principles engineering calculations and technical investigations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and take ownership of complex engineering requirements.
- Good communication skills and the ability to work with customers and cross-functional teams.
- Industrial rectifiers
- HVDC systems
- Marine propulsion converters
- Pulse power systems
- Fusion energy equipment
- Rail traction or FACTS systems
