Job Description

Staff Power Electronics Engineer

Ampere Recruitment is working with a fast-growing company that designs power electronics technology for implantable devices. Their platform is already used in 50+ device types worldwide, and they're hiring a Staff Power Electronics Engineer to join their team.

The Role

You'll own high-stakes electrical engineering challenges across power electronics and analog circuit design, taking systems from concept through working hardware. This covers schematic capture, PCB layout, and lab-based debugging to ensure platforms are reliable, manufacturable, and customer-ready.

Day-to-day, you will:

• Own power electronics, battery management, and analog circuit risks through to closure
• Design and release circuits end-to-end in Altium (schematic capture, PCB layout)
• Prototype, test, and debug hardware in the lab
• Diagnose failure modes in power, analog, and mixed-signal circuits and drive root-cause fixes
• Take hardware through key milestones — schematic release, layout, bring-up, verification, shipping
• Act as a technical SME supporting the test engineering team
• Collaborate across systems, electromagnetics, mechanical, firmware, and test disciplines
• Improve EE workflows, documentation, and engineering rigour

What You'll Need

• Strong background in power electronics and analog circuit design
• Experience designing and validating circuits/power converters for regulated, high-reliability products
• Proficient in Altium for schematic capture, PCB layout, and release
• Hands-on lab experience with prototyping, bring-up, debugging, and verification
• Good understanding of passives and device-level modelling (inductors, transformers, semiconductors)
• Methodical, detail-oriented approach and strong cross-functional communication

Nice to Have

• Experience with active implantable medical devices
• High-frequency power electronics or resonant power systems
• Wireless power transfer / electromagnetic design exposure
• Familiarity with IEC 60601 or ISO 14708
