The Company
A world-leading engineering company that specialises in electronics for the medical and scientific industry
The Role
The development of high voltage power conversion products and associated equipment. The Development Engineer will be qualified in a relevant discipline with experience and knowledge of high voltage requirements, will have the skills to develop power supply designs and will be keen to gain design experience and knowledge.
Duties:
Liaise with engineers and review customer specifications to understand required unit performance.
Develop and modify high voltage power conversion products and associated equipment to meet agreed specifications.
Design and build breadboards and prototypes to investigate/research new design techniques (higher stability, lower noise, faster polarity reversing) where required.
Accurately document designs to enable full manufacturing packages to be created or amended.
Confirm that developed designs meet their requirements by test and/or simulation and calculation.
Meet agreed time-scales for a task or project.
Ensure products are compliant to all current legal and regulatory requirements avoiding the use of components, materials or substances they identify as presenting a threat to the environment.
Products will optimise life cycle duration and if practical be repairable, energy efficient and have no undue environmental impact.
Assume ownership of the assigned projects from conception to completion and give continued support while in service.
