Job Description

POWER ELECTRONICS DESIGN ENGINEER | New South Wales, Australia (Hybrid)

n

Take what you know in Power Electronics and make it much bigger...

n

VFDs, Soft Starters, Switchgear & High Current

n

State-of-the-Art Facility

n

We are looking for an experienced Power Electronics Design Engineer with a strong professional baseline in AC-side / mains power electronics and industrial products.

n

You need credible hands-on design capability across power stages, switching, protection, sensing, AC systems and motors, and you need to be able to explain clearly what you personally designed and delivered.

n

But you do not need to have done everything we do.

n

That is the opportunity...

n

To join an established Australian design and manufacturing operation backed by a major global industrial group and widen your engineering repertoire across:

n

AC power electronics

n

VFDs and motor drives

n

soft starters and motor starting

n

switchgear and industrial switching

n

embedded motor-control products

n

protection and sensing

n

motors, compressors and rotating equipment

n

You will apply that capability to new product design, customer‐specific product customisation and major product redesigns / overhauls.

n

And you will do it across a broad range of markets:

n

industrial | residential | marine | caravans & RVs | off‐road | off‐grid | electric vehicles

n

These are commercial products used every day by people around the world.

n

The design challenge...

n

This is fundamentally a Power Electronics designer role.

n

defining a new product architecture

n

selecting a topology

n

designing or modifying a power stage

n

specifying switching devices

n

developing gate‐drive, sensing or protection circuitry

n

designing or reviewing high‐current PCB layouts

n

adapting an existing product for a new application or customer

n

solving thermal, EMC or reliability problems

n





redesigning ageing or underperforming products

n

taking designs through prototype, validation and release

n

You should have professional experience with AC electrical systems, mains‐side power electronics and motors, together with strong fundamentals across several areas such as:

n

SCRs / TRIACs / MOSFETs / IGBTs / SiC

n

AC‐DC / DC‐AC conversion

n

three‐phase systems

n

motor control

n

current and voltage sensing

n

protection

n

thermal design and derating

n

EMC / EMI

n

isolation, creepage and clearance

n

prototype bring‐up and fault diagnosis

n

Move beyond a narrow product or technology niche...

n

The business has more than 20 years of motor‐control know‐how, products operating globally, and the backing of an established international industrial group

n

Plus... a relatively new, purpose‐built 2,500 m2 advanced engineering and manufacturing facility, bringing R&D;, electronics, firmware, mechanical engineering, testing and production together under one roof.

n

The product footprint already spans millions of end products worldwide, with strong positions across residential HVAC, marine, RV, industrial and off‐grid applications.

n

The next stage includes further development across VFDs, motor control, new product lines, product customisation and local manufacturing capability.

n

You can arrive as an accomplished Power Electronics Engineer and still have a outstanding deal to learn, design and master.

n

What we want to see...

n

Tell us:

n

where you have worked

n

what products or systems you worked on

n

the AC, motor and power levels involved

n

what you personally designed

n

what new products, customisations or redesigns you contributed to

n

what technical problems you solved

n

what reached prototype, production or commercial release

n

If you have the senior‐level Power Electronics foundations and want a long‐term design role where your technical repertoire can keep expanding,
