We are seeking a highly experienced Chief Power Electronics Engineer to lead systems engineering for advanced Power Electronics. This role is pivotal in the design and development of scalable e-module technology, supporting high-performance Automotive, Aerospace, and Industrial applications. You will work across the full product lifecycle, collaborating with customers and internal teams to deliver innovative and robust engineering solutions.

The Chief Power Electronics Engineer will:

• Lead the development and delivery of overall hardware architecture.
• Plan system configurations to meet safety, reliability, and cost targets.
• Manage electronics design projects from specification through to manufacturing readiness.
• Support fault diagnosis through design reviews and hands-on testing.
• Conduct schematic capture, PCB design, and circuit simulation.
• Prepare and release specifications, BoMs, and technical drawings.
• Optimize system-level product architecture in collaboration with supply chain partners.

The Chief Power Electronics Engineer will have:

• 10-15 years' experience in power electronics development, including voltage source inverter systems up to 800VDC and fault-tolerant control architectures.
• PhD or equivalent qualification in an engineering-related discipline, with deep knowledge of functional safety (FUSA), EMI/EMC compliance, and automotive NVH standards.
• Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD tools (ideally Altium), with the ability to produce detailed schematics, layout drawings, and digital mock-ups for manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of electric and hybrid propulsion systems, including HV batteries, PDUs, inverters, motors, and thermal management.
• Demonstrated commitment to safety and quality, with experience implementing DFMEA, FTA, and EHS compliance in engineering processes.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with a proactive, collaborative mindset and proven ability to mentor junior engineers.

If you're a forward-thinking engineer ready to lead cutting-edge power electronics development across high-performance sectors, we'd love to hear from you. This is a unique opportunity to shape scalable technologies with real-world impact, working alongside a passionate and expert team.
