Electronics Design Engineer – Power Electronics (HVDC) – Umbrella rate DOE
Location: Greenwich | Contract Duration: 12 months
About the Role:
We are seeking a highly skilled Electronics Design Engineer to join our team on a 12-month contract. You will be responsible for the design, development, validation, and documentation of high-voltage Power Transmission Equipment used to supply undersea communication cable systems. This role focuses on high-voltage DC-DC conversion, thermal/mechanical integration, and ensuring designs meet the highest reliability and compliance standards.
Key Responsibilities:
- End-to-end hardware design, from concept through to production release.
- Design and development of DC-DC converters (50–400VDC → 3–5kV DC, up to 5kW) and high-voltage circuits.
- Perform thermal management and mechanical integration for high-power electronics.
- Conduct HV testing, insulation resistance, partial discharge validation, and ensure compliance with IEC 62368-1.
- Define test plans, schematics, and manufacturing documentation.
- Apply FMEA, risk analysis, EMC/EMI design, and reliability engineering practices.
Required Experience & Skills:
- Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering with 8+ years relevant experience.
- Proven experience designing and releasing high-power DC-DC converters and HV systems.
- Expertise in SMPS design, closed-loop control, thermal/mechanical integration, and high-voltage design standards.
- Hands-on experience with simulation tools (LTspice, PLECS) and PCB design tools (Altium).
- Familiarity with ISO9001, TL9000, and regulated hardware development processes.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Why Join Us:
This is a unique opportunity to work on mission-critical undersea communication technology in a collaborative and innovative environment. You will take ownership of complex high-voltage hardware projects and contribute to the next generation of Power Feeding Equipment.
