You'll bring both technical depth and a practical, hands-on approach to solving complex design challenges. Ideally, you'll hold a degree in Electronic or Electrical Engineering and have proven experience in the design and testing of power electronic converters (AC:AC, DC:DC, DC:AC) or motor drive systems.

We're looking for someone who can demonstrate:

• Strong knowledge of power conversion topologies and control methods.
• Hands-on experience with simulation tools such as PLECS or equivalent.
• The ability to take designs from concept through to production.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with a collaborative mindset.

Why Join?

• Work on technology that's driving the future of green power and EV infrastructure.
