Low-Power Electronics Engineer – Energy-Efficient Motor Control
Location: Reading (Office-Based)
Salary: Up to £100,000 + Benefits
Are you a skilled Electronics Engineer with a passion for low-power design and energy-efficient systems? Our client, an innovative and fast-growing engineering company based in Reading, is looking for an engineer to contribute to the early-stage development of a new generation of high-efficiency, low-power motor control solutions.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to join at the ground level of a forward-looking programme focused on minimising power consumption while maximising performance. You’ll play a key role in shaping system architecture, influencing how energy is managed, converted, and optimised across the product lifecycle.
Working in a collaborative R&D environment, you’ll help develop next-generation low-power electronic systems for torque-controlled applications where efficiency, thermal performance, and intelligent power management are critical.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop low-power electronic systems and components for torque-controlled applications
- Optimise power conversion efficiency across inverters, converters, and motor drive systems
- Implement energy-saving techniques, including advanced switching strategies and power management methods
- Work across the full product lifecycle, from concept through validation and production
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, control systems, and embedded software engineers
- Perform simulation, testing, and analysis with a focus on efficiency, thermal performance, and power loss reduction
- Support prototyping of energy-efficient, compact designs suitable for real-world deployment
Requirements
- Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related discipline
- Proven experience in low-power or high-efficiency electronics design (e.g., converters, motor drives, power management systems)
- Strong understanding of power loss mechanisms, efficiency optimisation, and thermal considerations
- Experience with simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, LTspice)
- Familiarity with control algorithms focused on energy efficiency is desirable
- Understanding of embedded systems and power management techniques is a plus
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving R&D environment
What’s on Offer
- Competitive salary up to £100,000
- Office-based working environment in Reading
- Generous benefits package (including pension, bonus, and more)
- Opportunity to shape energy-efficient technologies from the earliest stages
- Clear career progression within a growing organisation
If you’re driven by efficiency, sustainability, and smarter energy use in electronics, this role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact on next-generation technology.
