Main Objectives:
The development of high voltage power conversion products and associated equipment. The High Voltage Power Conversion Engineer will be qualified in a relevant discipline with experience and knowledge of high voltage requirements, will have the skills to develop power supply designs, and will be keen to gain further design experience and knowledge.
Key Responsibilities:
Liaise with engineers and review customer specifications to understand required unit performance.
Develop and modify high voltage power conversion products and associated equipment to meet agreed specifications.
Design and build breadboards and prototypes to investigate/research new design techniques (higher stability, lower noise, faster polarity reversing) where required.
Accurately document designs to enable full manufacturing packages to be created or amended.
Confirm that developed designs meet their requirements by test and/or simulation and calculation.
Meet agreed time-scales for a task or project.
Ensure products are compliant with all current legal and regulatory requirements, avoiding the use of components, materials, or substances that present a threat to the environment.
Optimize product lifecycle duration and ensure products are repairable, energy-efficient, and have minimal environmental impact.
Assume ownership of assigned projects from conception to completion and provide continued support while in service.
Adhere to the Company's ISO 9001 Quality, ISO14001 Environmental, and Health and Safety management systems, contributing towards continuous improvement.
Skills, Knowledge, and Experience:
HNC, HND, degree, or equivalent with relevant experience.
Some experience in power supply development, preferably with high voltage, analogue, digital, and architecture system design.
Experience in power supply performance measuring and environmental testing.
Knowledge of up-to-date components, technology, and manufacturing techniques.
Knowledge of current regulations and procedures and how they affect design.
Understanding of constraints of PCB layout and mechanical packaging.
Ability to follow formal design procedures and methodologies in accordance with ISO 9001.
Ability to work under pressure to meet demanding timescales.
Schematic Capture using CADSTAR desirable.
Proficient in MS Office.
Effective interpersonal and communication skills, self-motivated, able to work with minimum supervision.
