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)
