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, recent product lines, product customisation and local manufacturing capability.
n
You can arrive as an accomplished Power Electronics Engineer and still have a great 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,
