Principal Electronics Engineer

Senior / Principal Electronics Engineer
Power Electronics | Aerospace | Technical Leadership
📍 Cwmbran | 💰 £60K-£70K

Are you the engineer people rely on for power electronics expertise?

This is an opportunity to step into a technical leadership role where you'll take full ownership of aerospace power conversion systems - from concept through to validation - in a highly demanding, safety-critical environment.

You'll play a key role in shaping architecture, driving design decisions, and ensuring systems meet strict performance and regulatory standards.

🚀 What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the design and development of AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion systems
• Designing high-performance converters (PFC, THD, inrush optimisation)
• Developing and validating control loops for power stages
• Designing snubber and damping networks for stable operation
• Owning EMC strategy, including multi-stage filtering design
• Performing stability analysis and system-level validation
• Designing custom magnetics (transformers, inductors)
• Running simulations (LTspice or similar) to validate designs
• Ensuring compliance with aerospace standards (DO-160, Boeing D6, ABD0100)
• Mentoring and supporting other engineers

👤 What We're Looking For

• Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering (or similar)
• Strong experience with AC/DC and DC/DC converter design
• Deep understanding of power electronics, control loops, and stability
• Experience with EMC design and real-world compliance challenges
• Knowledge of aerospace or other regulated industries
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g. LTspice)
• Familiarity with PCB design tools such as Altium

💡 Why Apply?

• Take real ownership - not just oversight
• Influence system design from the ground up
• Work on complex, high-reliability aerospace systems
• Be recognised as a technical authority in your field
