Bologna 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 61800, IEC 62477, IEEE 1709 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. xlwpduy If of interest, please apply with an up-to-date CV and contact information.
