You’ll be designing electronic sub-systems for motor controllers. This includes analogue and digital circuit design and simulation, schematic capture, PCB design, design validation and integration testing.
And if you have the right skills, there could also be an opportunity to develop embedded firmware for 32-bit microcontrollers and PC-based applications,
You’ll be working on the development of a range of AC motor controllers ('drives’), used in industrial processes across the world (80% of company output is exported). There are four different frames of drive in the family which span a power range from 22kW to 200kW.
The technology within the drive is highly innovative (only one other company in the world has commercially exploited it) as it allows direct conversion from fixed voltage, fixed frequency AC mains to a variable voltage, variable frequency output to the motor. It has great potential to disrupt global markets,
It can also transfer energy to and from the load (motor) which results in significant energy savings in certain applications.
THE BUSINESS AND TEAM
There has been outside investment of over £4M to accelerate commercialisation. The investors are expecting the business to grow by a factor of ten over the next five years. So it’s a great time to be joining them.
The business has 25 employees, and 15 of them have recently been moved into a separate company with the intention of creating a hig...
