SENIOR POWER ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
NORFOLK
Senior Power Electronics Engineers are now required at this leading car manufacturer in Norfolk. As an experienced Senior Power Electronics Engineer your role will be to support the development and commercialisation of hybrid-electric propulsion systems. You will be responsible for the specification, development, validation, and implementation of high voltage Power/Control Electronics used within HEV and EV automotive applications. Your knowledge should encompass 5-75kW Traction Motor Electronics, Generators and DC/DC Converters.
Successful candidates will be educated to degree level in Electrical/Electronics Engineering and have significant experience in Power Electronics and Software Design. You will require an extensive knowledge of power electronics, power conversion (DC/AC, DC/DC), high Voltage Power Supply design and Inverter/Converter topologies. Experience with PCB layout and fabrication using external PCB houses and prototyping facilities is also required. Furthermore you will need to be familiar with laboratory development and test equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, etc required. Ideally you will also be experienced in Motor control or hybrid electric vehicle energy management and volume production of embedded control system. Preferably you will have an automotive background, but you could also come from an aviation, rail or power industry. You will be PC literate with experience of PCB design software, Microsoft Office and MATLAB/Simulink. You will need all round knowledge of software design and implementation and experience of safety analysis methods.
