MPI currently have an exciting opportunity to recruit an Electronics Design Engineer within the Congleton R&D department. The successful person will work as part of a cross functional team and be responsible for enhancing existing product designs or working on new exciting development opportunities.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a person who is passionate about engineering design and innovation and wants to apply their knowledge and experience in product development, whilst at the same time having the curiosity to seek out new ways of doing things and be open to learning and growing as a person.
You should hold an electrical and electronics degree or equivalent, and ideally have knowledge of low voltage power or analogue electronics. Also, being able to demonstrate capability to learn, diversity of thinking and an excellent work ethic, including working in cross functional teams are extremely important to be successful in this role.
Key duties include
Design of industrial power electronics circuits for 230V/400V/690V systems
Design of analogue electronic circuits
Analysis and in-depth fault investigations (e.g. for EMC and ESD)
Handle processes and perform changes in different tools (PLM-System, Schematics, ...)
Calculation and simulation for topics like lifetime, timing and thermals
Design verification and product validation tests against relevant international standards
Hands-on design prototyping and debugging
Intensive collaboration and information exchange within the cross functional team
Skills & Competencies
Electrical and electronics degree or equivalent experience
Knowledge and experience of analogue and power electronic circuit design
Knowledge and experience of schematic capture and simulation
Knowledge and experience of designing for EMC/ESD
Appreciation of trade-offs between electrical and mechanical aspects e.g thermal design
Quality focussed and capable of working to achieve project timescales
Be able to work unsupervised but cooperate well in a team
Experience of designing AC motor drives (variable speed drives) would be a significant advantage
Experience with PLM-System “Teamcenter” would be advantageous
Experience with schematic tool “Zuken CR8000” would be advantageous
Specific knowledge of standards (particularly UL and IEC 61800-5-1) would be advantageous
Competent using Microsoft tools like Teams, Outlook, Excel, Word.
