Power Electronics/Magnetic Design

Power Electronics / Magnetic Design Engineer

Educational Background

Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, with a focus on power electronics or magnetics, or a related field.

Experience

• 5–8+ years of experience in board-level power supply design, particularly for data centres, telecommunications, or high-performance computing.
• For candidates with a BSc or MSc: 7+ years of relevant experience.
• For candidates with a PhD: 2+ years of relevant experience.

Technical Expertise

• Proven experience in the end-to-end design and research and development of high-density, board-mounted power supplies.
• Expertise in high-density planar magnetics design, manufacturing techniques, and production processes.
• Deep knowledge of buck, boost, LLC, and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies at board level.
• Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, magnetostatics, and electromagnetics.
• Experience with multi-physics simulations involving thermal, mechanical, and electrical analysis.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB for simulation automation and data analysis.

Target Profile

Target job title: Senior or Principal Power Electronics Engineer

Relevant publications or patents relating to board-mounted power supplies are highly desirable.

Mandatory Skills

• Hands-on experience in power supply design for data centres, telecommunications, or high-performance computing.
• Expertise in high-density planar magnetics design and associated manufacturing techniques and processes.
• Proficiency in finite element method software, such as COMSOL.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Fluency in written and spoken English.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Proficiency in Altium, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics for high-density power routing.
• Proficiency in simulation tools such as LTspice, SIMPLIS/SIMetrix, or Ansys SIwave.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will research and develop isolated DC-DC modules, voltage regulator modules and point-of-load converters that power the next generation of processors.

The role will involve:

• Identifying bottlenecks in high-density power conversion and proposing practical solutions.
• Running detailed 2D and 3D finite element simulations.
• Validating simulation results through physical prototyping and experimental measurement.
• Developing scripts to automate workflows and optimisation processes.
