Pulsed Power / High Voltage Electrical Engineer

A hands-on engineering role supporting the design and testing of specialised high-voltage and pulsed power electronics for defence applications. The organisation provides operations, maintenance, training and applied engineering services for uncrewed maritime systems, working across government and commercial programmes. The position is primarily lab-based and suits an experienced electrical engineer who enjoys taking circuits from concept through prototype, testing and validation, and who works confidently and safely around stored energy systems.

What you'll do

• Design, develop and validate high-voltage and pulsed power electronic systems for defence applications
• Design and evaluate capacitor-based energy storage, power conversion and controlled discharge electronics
• Develop high-voltage power supplies, switching circuits and associated control and monitoring electronics
• Carry out circuit simulation, schematic capture, component selection and PCB design
• Evaluate electrical transients, switching behaviour, EMI and high-voltage insulation requirements
• Build, troubleshoot and test prototype electronic assemblies

What you need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience
• Experience designing, developing or testing high-voltage electronics or pulsed power systems
• Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout and circuit simulation tools such as Altium, KiCad or LTspice
• Ability to troubleshoot complex analogue and power electronic circuits
• Ability to work independently on hardware projects and communicate technical findings
• Preferred: capacitor bank, high-voltage switch or Marx generator design experience; EMI/EMC testing; solid high-voltage lab safety practice
