Power Electronics Engineer

Location: Wickford, Essex (on‑site, with some travel and occasional customer visits as required)

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Power Electronics Engineer to join a well‑established UK power electronics manufacturer, specializing in the design and production of advanced power supply solutions. The company develops AC‑DC and DC‑DC power supplies, transformer rectifiers, configurable modular systems, high‑voltage systems, and fully customised designs. Serving customers across aerospace, defence, industrial, telecoms, and emerging markets such as hydrogen production and carbon capture, the business is recognised for delivering innovative, bespoke, and reliable solutions in quality‑critical sectors.

This role is ideal for a hands‑on engineer with strong analogue electronics and power supply design experience, who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and working across the full product lifecycle – from concept, prototyping, and testing through to customer delivery. The position also offers the opportunity to work closely with the Engineering Director, gaining mentorship with a clear pathway to grow into a future leadership role.

Main Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and troubleshoot power supply products (AC/DC, DC/DC, rectifiers, high‑voltage systems).
• Lead and manage engineering projects from concept through to completion, ensuring delivery to time, cost, and quality.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including production and supply chain, to ensure design intent is met.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation including specifications, test procedures, and design records.
• Support the sales teams with technical input to customer enquiries, proposals, and specifications.
• Interface directly with customers on technical issues, projects, and RMAs, ensuring smooth resolution.
• Drive research and innovation to enhance products, processes, and new technologies.
• Mentor junior engineers and deliver technical training to internal staff and customers.

Requirements

• Degree (or equivalent) in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (Master's desirable).
• Extensive experience in electronics engineering, including PCB design.
• Strong background in analogue electronics and power supply design (AC/DC, DC/DC, rectifiers, high‑voltage).
• Proficiency in simulation and design tools such as SPICE and CAD software.
