Job Description & How to Apply Below
Position: Power Electronics Engineer (m/f/d)

We are looking for a Power Electronics Engineer to take the lead on designing, modelling, prototyping and experimentally validating Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converters and other multilevel power converter systems. The engineer will be responsible for the entire development process, including simulation, hardware realisation, testing and technical documentation, while also contributing to scientific publications and the generation of intellectual property. This role is pivotal to our efforts in advancing our high-efficiency, high-reliability power conversion technologies for applications such as renewable energy, motor drives and grid-tied systems.

YOUR

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Take ownership of converter designs from concept through to prototype and validation
  • Evaluate trade-offs in topology selection, device choice (e.g. silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride) and control strategies
  • Develop detailed electrical and thermal models of NPC converters using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS or LTspice
  • Perform system-level simulations to evaluate converter performance under various operating conditions
  • Design and implement advanced modulation and control schemes in firmware or DSP/FPGA
  • Conduct experimental measurements including voltage/current waveforms, switching behaviour, thermal performance and total harmonic distortion analysis
  • Prepare detailed technical reports summarising simulation results and experimental findings
  • Collaborate on research papers and white papers and contribute to patent applications
  • Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and researchers
YOUR QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • Previous experience in power converter development
  • Expertise in multilevel converter topologies (especially NPC), gate drive design and protection
  • Hands-on experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSpice or equivalent
  • Good knowledge of programming languages such as Python and C
  • Basic proficiency in building and testing power electronics hardware
  • Familiarity with microcontrollers, DSPs and/or FPGAs is advantageous
  • Passion for research and innovation, and a willingness to learn and adapt quickly
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
OUR COMMITMENT
  • Innovative work environment in a young, dynamic team
  • High-tech projects in the future-proof sector of e-mobility
  • Opportunities for advancement in a growing company
  • A wide range of further training opportunities

    Attractive bonus system and performance-related pay
  • Additional company benefits
