• Supporting the safety case (ARP4754A/DO254) of the system
• Supporting the design, development, debug and validation of power electronics for use in inverter and converter products for aerospace applications.
• Supporting simulation and evaluation of EMC, power and thermal models
• Schematic capture, PCB layout design and manufacturing support
• Evaluating component lifetime, limits and derating
• Supporting EMC testing and the development of technical files
• Generating documentation including designs, analysis, simulation and reviews
• Contribute to developing the team's technologies, capabilities, facilities, and processes.
  
  

Skills And Experience Required

• Degree or equivalent in electrical / electronic engineering, or a demonstrable level of relevant industrial experience
• Awareness of power electronic devices (IGBTs, MOSFETs, wideband gap devices, Capacitors, Current sensors)
• Perform design analysis, including worst-case, tolerance, thermal, and stress
• Using ECAD tools including Mathcad, Simulink, Schematic, PCB, Modelling, Simulation
• Awareness of EMC compliance and best practices
• Developing products that comply with functional safety standards (such as ARP4754A / DO254 / ISO26262)
• Working with high voltage / high current / high-energy systems, following safe systems of work
• Good communication skills (both written and verbal), good collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively across teams
• Instinctive problem-solving skills coupled with a sound analytical approach
• Generating documentation to a high standard for internal and external customers
• Modelling, simulation and analysis of power devices for inverter systems.
  
  

Desirable

• A 'self-starter' attitude with the ability to thrive in a small business environment
