Senior Power Electronics Engineer – Grid-Connected Inverters
We're working with a business pushing the boundaries of grid technology, and they're looking to hire a Senior Power Electronics Engineer to join their team. If you know your way around grid-connected inverter design and want to be properly hands-on from simulation through to prototype and validation, this one's worth a look.
As a Senior Power Electronics Engineer, you’ll be joining live projects from day one, working alongside mechanical, control and software engineers to get real hardware out the door. This isn't a role where you'll be stuck behind a desk producing reports nobody reads, you'll be designing, testing, debugging, and helping shape how the product actually performs in the field.
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.
What you'll be doing
- Designing and developing power converters and controllers for grid-connected applications, including DC-DC/AC-DC systems and mixed-signal circuits (ADCs, PWM controllers).
- Getting stuck into PCB layout work with a real focus on signal integrity, interfacing power stages with transformers, digital controllers, filters and electromechanical systems.
- Handling the thermal and EMI/EMC compliance angle to the role, plus root-cause debugging across prototype and production.
- Writing up specs, test reports and manuals along the way, and working to real deadlines alongside a genuinely cross-functional team.
What you'll bring
- A degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (or equivalent), and solid, ideally high-power, experience designing power electronics.
- Comfort with circuit modelling and simulation tools like SPICE, Altium and MATLAB.
- Knowledge of PCB design through to testing.
- Real lab and site testing experience with kit like oscilloscopes, power analysers and grid emulators.
- Some exposure to designing for large-scale manufacture would help, as would a willingness to travel occasionally for testing and commissioning.

Nice to have:
- Experience with AC/DC, DC/AC or DC/DC converters specifically.
- Low-noise mixed-signal design.
- EMC/EMI standards work.
- UL/TÜV certification experience.
- PCB soldering/rework skills.
