Power Electronics/Control Systems Engineer - Hybrid
Are you an experienced Power Electronics Engineer with a strong background in control systems and mathematical modelling? Do you thrive on designing high-power systems and want to play a key role in advancing next-generation battery charging technology?
We're working with a global engineering organisation that is expanding its R&D team in Glasgow. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge power electronics projects, developing innovative battery chargers and power converters used across a wide range of industrial applications-both indoor and outdoor-spanning 400W to 30kW.
Location: Glasgow (Hybrid working available)
The Role
As part of a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary team, you will:
- Develop creative solutions for the rapidly growing automated material handling equipment market
- Work closely with software, hardware, and mechanical engineering teams
- Design, simulate, and optimise switching converters using tools such as Mathcad, Simplis, SPICE, and MATLAB/Simulink
- Take ownership of your work, manage priorities, and communicate progress effectively
- Contribute to advanced power electronics projects, with a focus on converter modelling and control
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience designing power electronics topologies (Buck, Boost, LLC)
- Strong understanding of voltage/current sensing, scaling, and measurement techniques
- Familiarity with schematic capture tools
- Solid theoretical knowledge of magnetics
- Awareness of global EMC standards
- Experience with thermal design (convection, forced air, cold plate, or liquid cooling)
- Background in model-based development, auto-code generation, and deployment
- Expertise in power converter plant and controller modelling
- Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, meters, dataloggers)
- Ability to work within structured, process-driven environments and contribute to technical documentation
Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled engineer looking to make a tangible impact in green energy technology. You'll be working on innovative products at the forefront of power electronics, within a supportive and forward-thinking R&D environment.
If you're ready to take the next step in your career and be part of something impactful, we'd love to hear from you.
