An exciting opportunity has arisen for an R&D Power Electronics Engineer to join our knowledge transfer collaboration between the Power Electronics, Machines and Control Research Group at the University of Nottingham and Transformers & Rectifiers Ltd. You will have the opportunity to take a central role in the design, development and testing of bi-directional power converters and energy storage components for the electrical energy networks of the future, giving the company entry into the green energy sector.

Transformers & Rectifiers Ltd, in Guildford, is a world leader in the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of a wide range of products used in medical equipment, industrial processes, metal finishing, electricity supply and DC traction. The business offers world class engineering solutions to a global customer base across several industry sectors.

This Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project will give you an opportunity to be at the forefront of power electronics design and development. A key aspect of your role will be to transfer the University’s research in power converter control and its applications using microcontrollers/DSPs to the company.

An MSc in electrical/electronic engineering with appropriate industrial experience is essential for the role. A PhD in Power Electronics or a similarly relevant technology area is desirable but not essential.

You will be employed by the University of Nottingham but based at the company in Guildford. The project will involve visits to the University as well as to customers and trade shows. You will have access to University resources and a range of benefits including: staff discounts, travel schemes and an established pension scheme. Through the KTP, you will be given the support and mentoring needed to nurture your talent with a £4,500 budget for training and Continuing Professional Development to help develop your current skillset and reach your personal and professional career goals.

This is a full time, fixed term 27-month contract funded through a KTP award, a UK Government scheme, enabling graduates (KTP Associates) to work on exciting and challenging projects in a partnership between a business and university. It is an opportunity to fast track your career by managing a strategic project that has potential to transform the business. It is essential that you understand how KTP works and the vital role you will play if you successfully secure this position.
