Power Electronics/Control Systems Engineer - Hybrid

Are you an experienced Power Electronics Engineer with a strong background in control systems and mathematical modelling? Do you thrive on designing high-power systems and want to play a key role in advancing next-generation battery charging technology?

We're working with a global engineering organisation that is expanding its R&D team in Glasgow. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge power electronics projects, developing innovative battery chargers and power converters used across a wide range of industrial applications-both indoor and outdoor-spanning 400W to 30kW.

Location: Glasgow (Hybrid working available)

The Role
As part of a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary team, you will:

• Develop creative solutions for the rapidly growing automated material handling equipment market
• Work closely with software, hardware, and mechanical engineering teams
• Design, simulate, and optimise switching converters using tools such as Mathcad, Simplis, SPICE, and MATLAB/Simulink
• Take ownership of your work, manage priorities, and communicate progress effectively
• Contribute to advanced power electronics projects, with a focus on converter modelling and control

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience designing power electronics topologies (Buck, Boost, LLC)
• Strong understanding of voltage/current sensing, scaling, and measurement techniques
• Familiarity with schematic capture tools
• Solid theoretical knowledge of magnetics
• Awareness of global EMC standards
• Experience with thermal design (convection, forced air, cold plate, or liquid cooling)
• Background in model-based development, auto-code generation, and deployment
• Expertise in power converter plant and controller modelling
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, meters, dataloggers)
• Ability to work within structured, process-driven environments and contribute to technical documentation

Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled engineer looking to make a tangible impact in green energy technology. You'll be working on innovative products at the forefront of power electronics, within a supportive and forward-thinking R&D environment.

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and be part of something impactful, we'd love to hear from you.
