Power Electronics Researcher – AI & Machine Learning

£45,000-£62,000 + Healthcare + Progression + Sponsorship + Holiday + Life Insurance + Excellent Company Benefits

Are you a Power Electronics Researcher looking to apply your research into AI and machine learning to the design and optimisation of next-generation power electronic systems?

This is an exciting opportunity to join an innovative engineering environment working at the intersection of power electronics, artificial intelligence and advanced system design. You will contribute to research and development projects focused on improving the design, simulation and optimisation of power electronic converter technologies, with applications across sectors including electric vehicles, rail and renewable energy.

The role would suit a final-year PhD student, recent PhD graduate, Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Fellow with relevant experience in power electronics with experience using AI in their work. You will work closely with experienced engineers and researchers, helping to translate academic research into practical engineering applications.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

The ideal candidate will have a strong research background in power electronics, alongside experience using AI, machine learning or data-driven techniques within their research. This could include developing their own models, algorithms or tools to support power electronics design, rather than simply using AI tools such as ChatGPT as part of their research.

The Role:

  • Research and develop AI/ML approaches for power electronics applications
  • Design, model and simulate power electronic converter systems
  • Investigate the use of AI and machine learning to optimise converter design and performance
  • Develop models, algorithms or tools to support the power electronics design process
  • Research emerging technologies and contribute to technical reports and research outputs
  • Support the transition of research concepts into practical engineering applications
