POWER ELECTRONICS DESIGN ENGINEER

POWER ELECTRONICS DESIGN ENGINEER | New South Wales, Australia (Hybrid)

Take what you know in Power Electronics and make it much bigger...

• AC Power Electronics & Motor Control

• VFDs, Soft Starters, Switchgear & High Current

• New Product Design, Customisation & Product Overhauls

• State-of-the-Art Facility

• Long-Term Permanent Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Power Electronics Design Engineer with a strong professional baseline in AC-side / mains power electronics and industrial products.

You need credible hands-on design capability across power stages, switching, protection, sensing, AC systems and motors, and you need to be able to explain clearly what you personally designed and delivered.

But you do not need to have done everything we do.

That is the opportunity...

To join an established Australian design and manufacturing operation backed by a major global industrial group and widen your engineering repertoire across:

• AC power electronics

• VFDs and motor drives

• soft starters and motor starting

• switchgear and industrial switching

• high-current electronics

• embedded motor-control products

• protection and sensing

• motors, compressors and rotating equipment

You will apply that capability to new product design, customer-specific product customisation and major product redesigns / overhauls.

And you will do it across a broad range of markets:

industrial | residential | marine | caravans & RVs | off-road | off-grid | electric vehicles

These are commercial products used every day by people around the world.

The design challenge...

This is fundamentally a Power Electronics designer role.

You may be:

• defining a new product architecture

• selecting a topology

• designing or modifying a power stage

• specifying switching devices

• developing gate-drive, sensing or protection circuitry

• designing or reviewing high-current PCB layouts

• adapting an existing product for a new application or customer

• solving thermal, EMC or reliability problems

• redesigning ageing or underperforming products

• taking designs through prototype, validation and release

You should have professional experience with AC electrical systems, mains-side power electronics and motors, together with strong fundamentals across several areas such as:

• SCRs / TRIACs / MOSFETs / IGBTs / SiC

• gate drivers

• AC-DC / DC-AC conversion

• three-phase systems

• motor control

• current and voltage sensing

• protection

• thermal design and derating

• EMC / EMI

• isolation, creepage and clearance

• prototype bring-up and fault diagnosis

Move beyond a narrow product or technology niche...

• The business has more than 20 years of motor-control know-how, products operating globally, and the backing of an established international industrial group

• Plus... a relatively nbew, purpose-built 2,500 m² advanced engineering and manufacturing facility, bringing R&D, electronics, firmware, mechanical engineering, testing and production together under one roof.

• The product footprint already spans millions of end products worldwide, with strong positions across residential HVAC, marine, RV, industrial and off-grid applications.

• The next stage includes further development across VFDs, motor control, new product lines, product customisation and local manufacturing capability.

• You can arrive as an accomplished Power Electronics Engineer and still have a great deal to learn, design and master.

What we want to see...

Tell us:

• where you have worked

• what products or systems you worked on

• the AC, motor and power levels involved

• what you personally designed

• what new products, customisations or redesigns you contributed to

• what technical problems you solved

• what reached prototype, production or commercial release

If you have the senior-level Power Electronics foundations and want a long-term design role where your technical repertoire can keep expanding, APPLY NOW!
