Power Electronics Engineer - Inverter Design

Senior Power Electronics Engineer – Motor Drives & HV Inverter Design Location: Scania, Sweden (Hybrid ideally) Type: Contract, 6 months initial Salary/Rate: €75–105/hour depending on experience Are you passionate about high-voltage inverter design and cutting-edge motor control? We’re working with a well-established company in the industrial automation and drive systems sector and we're hiring a contract Power Electronics Engineer to assist with new projects in 2026. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation AC drives and motor control solutions that support industrial energy efficiency and system reliability worldwide. In this role, you’ll be involved in: Designing and optimising high-power inverter topologies (up to 800V / 300kW), using SiC MOSFETs and high-efficiency switching strategies. Developing advanced gate driver circuits with isolation, desaturation, and overcurrent protection (UCC217xx / UCC2588xx). Creating DC/DC power conversion solutions using flyback, push-pull, and resonant (LLC) designs for compact, thermally efficient systems. Performing system-level simulation and fault modelling in tools like PSIM, focusing on SPWM, torque control, and inverter loss analysis. Collaborating on EMC-compliant PCB layout (Altium) with a focus on safety, signal isolation, and compliance with IEC standards. Supporting design-for-manufacture (DFM) and safety compliance (ISO26262 or equivalent). You’ll bring: Strong experience in power electronics – ideally with a focus on industrial drives, inverter systems, or automotive powertrains. Hands-on skills in high-voltage design, gate driver development, and sensor integration. Familiarity with simulation tools such as PSIM, LTspice, or MATLAB/Simulink. Understanding of creepage/clearance, EMI/EMC mitigation, and standards-driven design. Experience working on safety-critical systems and performing derating/reliability analysis (e.g. NASA, MIL, ISO standards) is a bonus. Fluency in English (Swedish is a plus but not essential).
