Senior Power Supply Design Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Power Supply Design Engineer to join a dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing cutting-edge low- and high-power DC-DC, AC-DC, and DC-AC converters and inverters. Your work will play a critical role in powering a wide range of applications, from portable electronics to high-power industrial systems.

Responsibilities

* Power Supply Design: Lead the end-to-end design of DC-DC, AC-DC, and DC-AC converters and inverters, from concept through to production. Apply advanced design techniques to deliver high efficiency, reliability, and performance.

* Technical Expertise: Interpret system requirements and specifications to develop robust, cost-effective solutions that meet or exceed industry standards.

* Simulation & Prototyping: Use tools such as SPICE, PLECS, or similar to model and analyse designs. Build and test prototypes to validate performance and iterate where required.

* Component Selection: Work closely with procurement to select semiconductors, magnetics, and passive components, balancing performance, cost, and availability.

* Design Validation: Perform thorough testing to ensure compliance with safety, EMC/EMI, and relevant regulatory standards.

* Failure Analysis: Diagnose and resolve issues related to performance, efficiency, and reliability, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions.

* Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with hardware and software teams to integrate power solutions into broader systems.

* Documentation: Produce clear and detailed design documentation, including schematics, layout guidance, and specifications to support manufacturing.

* Innovation: Stay up to date with the latest developments in power electronics and continuously identify opportunities for improvement.

* Mentorship: Support and guide junior engineers, promoting best practices and technical excellence across the team.

Requirements

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field (PhD is advantageous).

* 5-8+ years' experience in power supply design, covering DC-DC, AC-DC, and DC-AC converters/inverters.

* Strong understanding of power electronics, including semiconductors, magnetics, and control techniques.

* Experience with simulation tools (e.g., SPICE, PLECS) and design software such as Altium or Cadence.

* Familiarity with relevant standards (e.g., IEC, UL, IEEE).

* Hands-on experience with lab equipment for testing and validation.

* Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex designs.

* Proven technical leadership and project ownership experience.

* Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively.

About the Role

You'll be joining a team of passionate engineers working on innovative power solutions across a range of industries. This is an opportunity to have a real impact on next-generation technologies while continuing to develop your technical and leadership capabilities
