- Understanding of data processing and analysis (MATLAB, Octave).
- Experience with analogue & digital circuit design, including current/voltage sensing and signal conditioning.
- Familiarity with PCB design software and PCB layout best practices.
- Strong knowledge of New Product Introduction (NPI), verification and validation (V&V), and design review processes (PDR/CDR/FAI).
Desirable:
- Experience in full-bridge, push-pull, and forward isolated converters.
- Knowledge of electric motor commutation design (star/delta configurations).
- Hands-on experience designing custom magnetics (skin effect, core losses, material properties).
- Understanding of control loop theory and system simulations.
- Proficiency in PCB CAD software (Altium).
- Familiarity with source control management (Git).
Benefits:
- Competitive salary, based on experience.
- 25 days holiday plus BH
- Pension & Life Assurance
- Employee Share Scheme
- Support for Professional Development and Training.
