The Company
Our client is at the forefront of medium voltage power conversion, developing MVDC systems / grid-scale converters for various industries.
Due to continued success, they are looking to expand their team with a Senior Power Electronics Engineer – MVDC
The Role
As Senior Power Electronics Engineer, you'll lead the design and development of MVDC power conversion systems from concept through to qualification.
You'll own converter design end-to-end, topology selection, simulation, hardware design, and validation, while mentoring junior engineers and working closely with systems, controls, and mechanical teams.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop MVDC converters (e.g. DC/DC, AC/DC) at medium voltage levels (3kV–35kV class)
Topology evaluation and selection, modular multilevel, DAB, ISOP/IPOS series-stacked architectures, resonant topologies
Power stage design: semiconductor selection (SiC MOSFETs, IGBTs, series-connected devices), gate drive design, magnetics specification
Simulation and modelling (PLECS, LTspice,
MATLAB/Simulink)
Insulation coordination, creepage/clearance design, and partial discharge considerations at MV levels
Lab prototyping, high-voltage testing, and design verification
Support compliance with relevant standards (IEC *****, IEC *****, IEEE **** as applicable)
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design reviews and technical strategy
About You
Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (MSc/PhD advantageous)
5+ years in power electronics design, with demonstrable experience at medium voltage (>3kV DC)
Strong grasp of MV converter topologies, series device operation, and high-voltage insulation design
Hands-on lab experience with high-voltage test environments and safety practices
Experience with SiC and/or high-voltage IGBT platforms
Comfortable owning designs end-to-end in a fast-moving environment
Nice to Have
MMC or solid-state transformer experience
Marine, grid, rail, or industrial DC distribution background
Experience taking products through certification
Opportunities like this won't be around for long.
