AdressJoin us at Saab Seaeye in creating the most innovative robotic technology for the harshest environment in the deepest oceans and most turbulent waters.
We lead the world with the most advanced engineering, electronics and software systems for pioneering electric underwater technology.
We don’t just create products – we are revolutionising the underwater world. So come and be part of an innovative and agile team that is dedicated to smart and inspired technology that is rapidly changing the future of underwater robotics.
The Role
This is a very exciting opportunity for a motivated and experienced individual to thrive in a fast-paced and innovative environment. The engineer will be confident in their abilities to research and identify cutting-edge solutions for novel and challenging problems, whilst taking pride in their attention to detail and design integrity.
The role seeks an engineer with a good understanding of powertrain architectures, power distribution systems, and experience with the design and test of various power supply topologies. Familiarity in the field of wide-bandgap semiconductors like Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) is desired but not essential.
All of our engineers from time to time are required to manage projects, the successful candidate will therefore show an aptitude for directing and coordinating project activities and have strong communication/interpersonal skills for working across all departments within the organisation.
Essentials:
- Create new electronics designs from first principle, through the development lifecycle to production release
- Power supply design AD-DC, DC-DC, Inversion
- Experience with one or more of the following topologies: Phase-Shift Full-Bridge, Resonant LLC Half/Full-Bridge, Flyback, Buck/Boost, 3-Phase Inverter (up to 100kW)
- General knowledge of power switching devices – MOSFETs, Si-IGBT (Wide-Bandgap desired)
- Experience with the design and optimisation of gate-drive circuitry
- High Frequency Transformer and Magnetics design
- A good understanding of thermal management techniques for through-hole and surface mount devices
- The ability to use modelling and simulation to facilitate design and prototyping
- Good knowledge in both digital and analogue design concepts
- Design for LVD/EMC Compliance
- Development of requirements specifications and test procedures
- System level integration and testing
- Experience of filter design and implementation
Desirables:
- High Voltage Experience up to 5kV
- Thermal modelling experience
- Motor design and control (BLDC, PMSM, Induction, Axial/Radial Flux)
- Embedded, FPGA, CPLD
- Serial Comms Protocol: Ethernet, SPI, I2C, CAN, CAN-FD
General accountabilities and responsibilities:
- To use personal judgement and initiative to develop effective and constructive solutions to challenges and obstacles in day to day activities and procedures within the specified role.
- To maintain personal ability in, and appropriate use of, all relevant IT (Information & Technology) and other systems required to adequately perform the role.
- To act ethically, with integrity and in the best interest of the business at all times.
- To maintain a professional and supportive relationship with team members and other departments in order to deliver business and delivery objectives or deadlines.
- To carry out any other duties as detailed by your Supervisor or Manager from time to time.
- To keep good time management to minimise any wasted time and maximise productivity and effectiveness.
Quality, health, safety and environment (QHSE)
- Cooperate with the company to achieve a healthy, safe and sustainable working environment.
- Work in ways that ensure your own safety and that of others; “Do the right thing even when no one is looking.”
- Report any incidents, near misses or other health, safety and environmental concerns.
- Deliver all products and services in line with Saab Seaeye quality standards to ensure we meet our customer requirements and highlight any quality concerns or potential improvements.
