Senior Power Electronics Engineer
Reading | On-site | Permanent
I’m working with a fast-growing UK engineering business developing high-performance power electronics and advanced electromechanical products.
They’re looking for an experienced Senior Power Electronics Engineer to take genuine end-to-end ownership of new hardware designs — from initial architecture and component selection through schematic, PCB layout, bring-up, validation and ultimately production.
This is a particularly hands-on design position. You won't be handing PCB layout to another team; they're looking for someone who understands that achieving exceptional performance requires schematic, layout, thermal performance and switching behaviour to be considered together.
What you'll be working on:
- Designing high-performance power conversion and motor-drive electronics
- Developing three-phase inverter architectures, including power stages, gate drives and current sensing
- Owning schematic capture and PCB layout
- Designing for demanding power-density and thermal requirements
- Managing EMI/EMC challenges associated with high-speed switching
- Bringing up and characterising new hardware in the lab
- Using test results to drive subsequent design iterations
- Selecting and qualifying power semiconductors and other critical components
- Designing products with manufacture, testability and scale in mind
- Working closely with embedded software, controls, mechanical and test engineers throughout development
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
As the product portfolio develops, there will also be opportunities to work across a broader range of power conversion, energy management and high-performance electronic systems.
What we're looking for:
- You'll have substantial hands-on experience designing power electronics that have reached production or advanced prototype stage.
- We're particularly interested in engineers with experience across:
- Three-phase inverters / motor drives
- Power stage and gate-drive design
- High-current / high-power-density electronics
- PCB layout for switching power electronics
- Thermal management and parasitic effects
- EMI/EMC-conscious design
- Hardware bring-up and characterisation
- Design for manufacture and test
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience with GaN, SiC, battery systems, charging, power distribution or other advanced power-conversion technologies would also be highly relevant.
Potential backgrounds could include automotive/e-mobility, motorsport, aerospace, robotics, industrial drives, energy systems or other high-performance electronics environments.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants to own their designs rather than one small part of the development cycle, while helping shape a new generation of high-performance hardware.
