Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a Power Electronics Engineer to work with the University of Sheffield and METTLER TOLEDO Safeline X-ray (SLXR) on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) to develop next generation high voltage generators for X-ray inspection machines. In this role, you will design, implement, and test digitally controlled power electronic systems, such as power factor correctors and high voltage inverters, to enhance X-ray generator performance. You will lead the project and work closely with METTLER TOLEDO engineers to support product development and commercialization efforts.Although you will be employed by the University of Sheffield, you will be predominantly based at METTLER TOLEDO Safeline X-ray’s office in Royston, Hertfordshire and may be required to work from Sheffield occasionally.

Main Responsibilities

• Develop a power supply subsystem for an X-ray inspection machine.
• Explore and analyse existing solutions, determining areas for improvement.
• Develop, simulate, implement and test power electronic conversion circuits.
• Assist in the development of closed-loop controller for power electronics circuits.
• Develop suitable and safe testing methods for effective testing of various high voltage subsystems.
• Lead the project, monitor milestones and produce technical documents as required.
• Work with SLXR and the university to identify and protect intellectual property and work with commercial partners.
• Work within an existing agile scrum project management framework.
• Participate in regular project meetings with Mettler Toledo Safeline X-ray and the university.
• Plan your own workload to ensure the overall project milestones and objectives are met on time.
• Engage fully with the requirements of the knowledge transfer partnership scheme, including personal development and reporting.
• Work across multiple sites, including at Mettler Toledo Safeline X-ray and the University of Sheffield.
• Carry out other duties, commensurate with the grade and remit of the post.
