About Us
Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation, a family owned business for over 75 years, takes pride in powering progress in health, security and quality of life. We are key partners with the world’s leading medical devices, semiconductor, scientific analytics and industrial systems manufacturers. When they want to push the limits of what’s possible with high voltage applications, they turn to us to make it happen.
While Spellman is not a household name, our products are used to make and often power many of the most advanced technologies that make modern life possible. With design and manufacturing sites in North America, Europe and Asia, we have become the preferred provider of high voltage power solutions for OEMs pushing the boundaries of technology around the world by designing and producing the products they need to power progress.
Main objectives:
The design and development of high voltage power conversion products and associated equipment.The Design Engineer will be qualified in a relevant discipline and will be a keen power supply design engineer with experience and knowledge of high voltage requirements.
Key responsibilities:
1. Liaise with customers to agree unit specifications
2. Design and develop high voltage power conversion products and associated equipment to agreed specifications
3. Investigate/research new design techniques (higher stability, lower noise, faster polarity reversing) where required
4. Accurately document the design to enable full manufacturing packages to be created or amended
5. Confirm that developed designs meet their requirements by test and/or simulation and calculation
6. Meet agreed time-scales for a task or project
7. Ensure that designs are cost effective, designed for manufacture and test
8. 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
9. Assume ownership of the assigned projects from conception to completion and give continued support while in service
10. Responsibility for adhering to the Company’s ISO 9001 Quality, ISO14001 Environmental and Health and Safety management systems and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives.
Skills, knowledge and experience:
11. Knowledge of up-to-date components, technology and manufacturing techniques
12. Knowledge of current regulations and procedures and knowledge of how they affect design
13. Experience of UC design with respect to analogue control/systems would be desirable
14. Ability to keep accurate records
15. Good interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to communicate with both colleagues and customers
16. Understanding of constraints of PCB layout and mechanical packaging
17. Ability to work under pressure to demanding timescales
18. Ability to follow formal design procedures and methodologies in accordance with ISO 9001:2000
19. Schematic Capture using CADSTAR desirable
20. Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office
21. Self- motivated and able to work with a minimum of supervision.
