Turner Lovell is recruiting for Power Electronics Engineers (Senior & Intermediate) for a leading engineering & manufacturing company at the forefront of power conversion and electrification of the world’s energy infrastructure. They produce electrical and mechanical equipment for industrial, marine and renewable energy application.

In this role, as the Power Electronics Engineer, you will be actively involved, using EPLAN, in the mechanical or electrical design of low voltage and medium voltage power electronics for Industrial, Marine, Offshore and Renewable Energy applications. You will join a team that will design and support the manufacturing process for all power electronic equipment such as converters and drives. In this role, you perform low and medium voltage power systems design activities for naval/commercial marine, energy and industrial projects. You will either focus on either hardware design- the electrical and mechanical design of power, control, and cooling; or modelling and simulation - design and document power electronics converters technical solutions to meet specific application requirements.

The benefits of this role are working on stimulating projects within a dynamic industry, a flexible working environment, and career development opportunities. In this role, you will contribute to major, global energy technology development.

Key responsibilities:

• Specify and design power electronics converters to meet specific requirements.
• Handle all circuit design aspects like snubber, gating electronics, thermal - using semiconductor device knowledge.
