Principal Electronics Engineer

Power Electronics - Aerospace - Technical Leadership

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
