Location: Bayswater, Melbourne

Employment: Full-time, Permanent The Opportunity

Are you a Power Electronics Engineer looking for an opportunity to make a genuine technical impact?

Our client is an established Australian engineering and manufacturing business specialising in electrical power generation and alternator systems. They are seeking an experienced Power Electronics Engineer to take technical ownership of the design, development and continuous improvement of their voltage regulator products.

This is a hands-on engineering role offering the opportunity to work across power electronics hardware, embedded software, firmware development and control algorithms. You will play a pivotal role in developing innovative regulator technologies, improving existing products and supporting their transition from engineering design through to manufacturing.

For an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and seeing their designs translated into real-world products, this is an opportunity to make your mark.

What You'll Be Doing

Reporting to the engineering leadership team, your responsibilities will include:

- Design and develop power electronic circuits and hardware for alternator voltage regulator systems.

- Develop, modify and maintain embedded software and firmware using C/C++.

- Design and optimise control algorithms for voltage regulation, protection and system performance.

- Lead hardware and firmware testing, verification and product validation.

- Investigate technical issues, undertake root cause analysis and implement design improvements.





- Provide technical support to manufacturing, production testing and new product introduction.

- Act as the technical authority for regulator products, providing guidance on design, performance and system integration.

- Collaborate with electrical, alternator and systems engineers to optimise overall product performance.

- Prepare technical specifications, schematics, PCB documentation and engineering reports.

- Ensure products meet relevant automotive, defence and industrial standards and quality requirements.

What You'll Bring

You will be an experienced electronics or power electronics engineer who enjoys working across both hardware and software disciplines.

Ideally, you will bring:

- A bachelor's degree in electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics or Embedded Systems Engineering.

- At least five years' experience in power electronics design and development.

- Strong knowledge of power conversion, voltage regulation and electrical control systems.

- Experience developing embedded software and firmware using C/C++.

- Practical experience with microcontroller-based products and embedded control systems.

- Knowledge of analogue and digital electronics and control algorithms.

- Experience with PCB design, hardware testing and product validation.





- Strong troubleshooting, analytical and problem-solving capabilities.

- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work autonomously and collaboratively.

Experience with alternators, generators, voltage regulators, inverters, converters or motor control products will be highly regarded.

Exposure to automotive, defence or industrial power systems is also advantageous.

Membership or eligibility for membership of Engineers Australia is preferred.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

- Technical ownership: Become the technical authority for an important range of power regulation products.

- End-to-end engineering: Work across hardware design, embedded software, testing and manufacturing.

- Product innovation: Contribute to the development of new products and continuous improvement of established technologies.

- Real-world engineering: See your designs and technical solutions translated into manufactured products.

- Collaborative setting: Work alongside experienced engineers across electrical, alternator and systems disciplines.

- Career development: Expand your technical influence and take on a significant role within an established engineering business.
