Principal Recruiter, Consultant and Founder @ Marcus Webb Associates. British Army Reservist.

This role involves working within a successful and growing engineering company aligned to electrified propulsion / e-mobility sectors.

Key elements of this role include:

• Very strong technical competence within power electronics engineering (previous hands-on detailed level design)
• Excellent communication and technical leadership skills
• Demonstrable customer facing experience and commercial acumen
• Credible product delivery experience within transport / vehicle applications (electrified powertrain and propulsion systems - traction inverters, isolated power converters, or OBCs)
• Demonstrable experience in taking power electronic products from concept to series production

As chief engineer you will be the technical specialist within the team and have significant and credible experience of delivering power electronic products into transport / vehicle applications (e.g. passenger cars, 2-3 wheelers, off Highway, marine vessels, drones / UAVs, etc).

You will be a technical leader and guide within the business with the ability to advise internal teams and customers on all aspects of power electronics design and development from concept to release. (particularly in the field of power conversion, including DC-DC converters, OBCs & rectifiers).

You will have delivered numerous products to series production within similar arenas and have a firm grasp of product certification processes.

As a credible technologist aligned to power electronics, you will be a figurehead within the company, interfacing with key customers and demonstrating the company’s capabilities in this field.

Furthermore, you will be commercially aware, will support bids, guide customers and capture requirements at customer meetings. You will also provide technical direction to design teams and represent the company at conferences.

It is likely you will have a strong academic background and many years of experience within power electronics design, developing DCDC converters, OBCs, rectifiers and similar (likely between 60V to 6kV) for vehicle / transport applications.

You will also keep abreast of changes and advancements relating to power electronics technologies and the production of such products (e.g. SiC, GaN, MLC, etc).

You will need to be a strong communicator and confident working directly with senior stakeholders both internally and externally.
