• 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
