Newport £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 AltiumWhy 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
