What sort of work would I be involved in?

As an experienced PSU design engineer, your primary role is to lay the groundwork for the future Power Systems we require in the near and far term. PSU topology analysis and associated new technologies in Energy Storage and Energy Conservation, including limiting the disturbances seen by the Generator, will be key to your and our success in the future.

The role includes the need to support adhoc and emerging power related tasks on the other Projects the PSU CDT is involved in. An overarching understanding of power techniques and the ability to step into a live issue is required.

The role also requires the ability for general oversight of several Projects, acting as a technical and managerial buffer between the Engineering, Project, and PSU CDT Management Teams.

Key Responsibility Areas

You will report directly to a CDT Lead Engineer, covering the wide scope of PSU and System Topologies, Power System Analysis, Power System Design, and partitioning of requirements into LRI, SRI, and SSRI. A clear and methodical work ethic is necessary when 'fire fighting' tasks emerge.

You will be responsible for:

  1. The primary role is to lay the groundwork for the future Power Systems we require in the near and far term.
  2. PSU topology analysis and associated new technologies in Energy Storage and Energy Conservation, including limiting the disturbances seen by the Generator, will be key to your and our success in the future.
  3. Provide technical and managerial support to the Engineering, Project, and PSU CDT Management Teams.
  4. Support Power CDT for a full range of Power System tests including prototyping, design verification, and production support.
  5. Creation and review of documentation such as Outsource Procurement Specifications, Statement of Work, Circuit & System Simulations and associated White Papers, Test Reports, Test plans.

Work closely with other CDTs and the Design for EMC Team to create Earth & Grounding diagrams, EMC Plans and Design Stage Review material.

Knowledge sharing with the other members of the PSU CDT.

Provide design and domain knowledge support to Projects, CDTs, Suppliers, Workshare Partners, and Customers.

Review of System Requirements and partitioning into Power System Requirements. Sub-partitioning into SRI Requirements.

Provide support to other members of the CDT, including schematic capture, component selection and derating, and simulation of power supply circuitry.

PSU Topology Analysis.

Review of current and emerging Energy Storage materials.

You will also play an active role in the ongoing process improvement initiatives within the team and knowledge sharing of Power related topics across the wider business.

Is there room to grow?

We encourage our Engineers to find and follow their passion. We offer fantastic opportunities for learning, development and professional growth. Your career will be massively varied. Join us, and you will be constantly reinventing and developing your technical skillset from one project to the next. Learning on the job isn't just a benefit – it's a must.

Skills, Qualifications & Knowledge Required

In order to be considered for this role you will have previous experience in the design, manufacture, test, integration of PSUs and or Power Systems. Ideally you will possess a minimum of HND in Engineering or Systems or related technical discipline.

You will ideally have knowledge in the following areas:

  1. ACDC and or DCDC switched mode power supply design.
  2. Control and interface circuitry.
  3. Experience with Mentor Graphics.
  4. You shall be familiar with a recognized Schematic and Simulation toolset.
