Electrical Engineer

The role

This person will design high-voltage AC/DC converters with custom topologies and control strategies. They will build prototypes, write embedded firmware, and solve challenges in insulation, EMI, thermal management, and safety.

What you will do

• Design high-voltage AC/DC converters with custom topologies and control strategies
• Simulate and validate designs using PLECS, LTspice, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar tools
• Build early-stage prototypes and test systems
• Write real-time embedded firmware for converter control
• Design and tune control loops, switching strategies, and fault-handling logic
• Solve practical challenges in insulation, EMI, thermal management, and safety
• Work at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and physics

Required qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Experience in both power and embedded systems
• Strong foundation in circuit theory and converter-level design
• Hands-on experience building and testing power electronics hardware
• Proficient in embedded C/C++ for control systems
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, low-structure R&D environment
• First-principles mindset and the drive to invent

Nice to have

• Embedded C/C++ for control systems, ideally with real-time constraints

Before you apply

• Talent Screen video call
• Technical Interview video call
• Onsite meeting in Maidenhead including a collaborative task
