Role Description
This is a full-time hybrid role
based in the Greater Rome Metropolitan Area.
The Power System Engineer will design, integrate, and test power supply and electrical systems for experimental and industrial machines for plasma confinement and compression systems.
Working within a small, multidisciplinary team, the role requires
full end-to-end ownership across all stages of electrical system development
: from architecture and design, through simulation and prototyping, to system integration, commissioning, and test.
The position covers power supply units up to MWs, operating in pulsed and quasi-stationary regimes.
Responsibilities include creating and reviewing electrical design plans, ensuring the functionality of systems, and optimising performance for extreme-environment and high-energy applications.
The role also requires collaboration with cross-functional team members to achieve project objectives.
Qualifications:
Demonstrated
hands-on experience in high-power PSU design
, including pulsed topologies, energy storage and discharge systems, and high-voltage architectures
Proficiency in
power electronic components and systems
: switching topologies, IGBT/thyristor/MOSFET/SiC/GaN drives, capacitor banks, high-voltage transformers, inverter design, gate drive design, magnetics, and thermal management
Ability to
design and implement basic closed-loop control systems and algorithms
for PSU regulation, protection, and sequencing — in firmware, FPGA, or analogue circuitry
Experience across the
full development cycle
: schematic design, simulation (SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, LabView or equivalent), PCB and system integration, hardware commissioning, and test campaign execution
Strong
problem-solving skills and rigorous, detail-oriented approach
to engineering tasks
Ability to collaborate
effectively within small, multidisciplinary teams
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a closely related field
Nice-to-have:
Experience with
high-energy or extreme-environment applications
(pulsed power, induction heating, fusion-class systems, or similar) is a significant plus
Experience with
plasma systems and plasma load interfaces
is a strong plus
