Power Electronics Engineer (KTP Associate)

This position contributes to "Deploying Intelligent Modular Power for Tomorrow's Grid", a joint Knowledge Transfer Partnership with the Institute for Energy Systems at the University of Edinburgh (UoE) and Supply Design Ltd (SDL). This is one of two complementary KTP Associate roles within the project, and the goal for this Associate is to accelerate power electronics innovation by introducing digital twin and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing for modular intelligent power solutions. This HIL will provide a dedicated platform for the control system developed by the second Associate as part of this KTP project with SDL.

Your skills and attributes for success:

• A good honours degree or MSc/PhD in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Understanding of embedded programming, digital simulation, or power electronics.
• Analytical and creative problem-solving skills
• Collaborative, open, and proactive mindset.
• Experience with FPGAs, HIL systems, or related hardware/software prototyping.

To enhance renewable energy integration, this KTP project develops advanced control systems for power electronics using digital twin and multi-module power electronic technologies. This collaboration aims to improve energy efficiency and support the transition to a more sustainable, net-zero energy system.

Supply Design designs and develops high performance power converters using the latest topologies, compound semiconductors, digital control and advanced cooling techniques. Supply Design delivers technology to customers targeting a more sustainable future through more-electrified clean technology - Actively targeting Net-Zero by delivering high-efficiency power solutions to advance renewable energy and cut emissions in energy intensive applications; including datacentres and edge computing.
