Power Electronics Engineer – Data Centres / UPS / DC Distribution

Location: Bavaria, Germany

Employment: Permanent / Full-time

We are looking for an experienced Power Electronics Engineer to join a technically advanced engineering team developing high-performance power infrastructure for the rapidly growing data centre sector.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with experience in UPS systems, high-efficiency power supplies and DC distribution who wants to work on critical power infrastructure where efficiency, reliability and availability are paramount.

The Role:

As a Power Electronics Engineer, you will contribute to the design, development, integration and validation of advanced power conversion systems for data centre applications.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and developing UPS and uninterruptible power supply systems
• Developing and optimising high-efficiency AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies
• Working on DC power distribution architectures
• Supporting high-power and high-density power conversion systems
• Developing and optimising inverter, rectifier and converter stages
• Supporting the integration of power electronics into critical data centre infrastructure
• Performing electrical, thermal and system-level analysis and simulations
• Optimising system efficiency, power density and thermal performance
• Supporting the development of control strategies for converters, rectifiers and UPS systems
• Developing prototypes and supporting testing, validation and commissioning
• Analysing power quality, efficiency, losses, thermal behaviour and system reliability
• Supporting redundancy, fault-tolerance and high-availability requirements
• Working closely with hardware, software, controls, thermal, mechanical and systems engineering teams
• Contributing to technical specifications, design reviews and product qualification

You will ideally have:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Electronics or a related discipline
• Professional experience in power electronics development
• Experience with UPS systems, high-efficiency power supplies and/or DC distribution
• Strong understanding of AC/DC and DC/DC converter topologies
• Knowledge of inverter, rectifier and power factor correction technologies
• Experience with high-power and/or high-density power conversion
• Knowledge of power semiconductor technologies such as IGBT, SiC and/or GaN
• Understanding of thermal management, switching losses and EMC/EMI
• Experience with simulation tools such as PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice or similar
• Practical experience with prototype testing, validation and troubleshooting
• Experience with high-availability, redundant or safety-critical power systems is advantageous
• Knowledge of data centre power architectures and standards is a strong advantage
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• A hands-on and structured approach to engineering
• German language skills are essential
• Good working proficiency in English

If you are a Power Electronics Engineer with experience in UPS, high-efficiency PSUs, AC/DC or DC/DC converters, or DC distribution, are a German speaker, and are looking for your next technical challenge within the data centre sector in Bavaria, we'd be keen to hear from you.
