Power Electronics Engineer

Full-time, hybrid with London office base - 3 days-per-week

IONATE is a deep tech scale-up building the hardware and software backbone for smart grids. Our mission is to transform power systems – from grids and microgrids to renewables and datacentres – unlocking the massive potential in this under-innovated sector that touches every aspect of our modern lives. 

We are now looking for a Power Electronics Engineer to join our Power Electronics team. Requiring knowledge and experience in electronics development and design, you will play a key role in the development, design, implementation and testing of electronics circuits and systems, taking concepts and prototypes through to commercial products.

With a focus on grid-connected inverter design, you will be actively contributing to analyses, design reviews, simulations, technical discussions, verification and validation processes.  Importantly, you will be contributing to live, ongoing projects and test activities, as well and closely working with the team to continue developing our HIT technology. 

What you will do:​

• Contribute to the development of high-power converters and controllers for grid-connected applications. 
• Design, simulate, implement, test, verify and troubleshoot electronic hardware, circuitry and components used for power converters, controllers and auxiliary hardware.  
• Develop high-reliability PCB assemblies, suitable for high-volume production. 
• Contribute to build and test efforts, including electrical panel assemblies, wiring looms, soldering, and PCB rework. 
• Actively participate in technical development and testing across a multi-disciplinary team including power electronics designers, mechanical engineers, control & software engineers. 
• Be involved hands-on with hardware design and validation respecting safety, quality, and international standards, whilst working to clear timelines. 
• Work to clear timescales and collaborate with a cross-functional team to deliver projects on time, with ambitious product targets. 
• Create and maintain documentation such as requirements, design descriptions, testing plans and testing reports.  

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical and Electronics engineering or equivalent

• Experience in electronics design, ideally in high power applications

• Good understanding of electronic and electrical components and their principles

• Good understanding of signal processing and passive/active filter designs

Design, Modelling & Simulation 

• Experience in electronics circuit modelling and simulation.
