Power Systems Engineer

Principal Power Engineer required to work on a customer site and report directly to the Electronic Architecture Lead. The successful candidate will be a key player within the team who is prepared to lead from the front and work with a multi-national engineering team and the customer community. The individual will be required to work across geographical and cultural divides to draw together a comprehensive engineering capability that will derive a balanced system solution.
The role requires proven knowledge and experience on both 12V and 24V DC Electrical Systems from power storage & generation, platform protection & distribution through to qualification and acceptance of a power architecture. A desirable background relating to military vehicle/land platform design is also preferred, however is not essential.

The successful candidate will perform the below tasks:
Co-ordinate power requirements analyses, compliance assessments and gap analyses for the Power Architecture
Development of Power Architecture design against system requirement and constraints
Delivery of Power documentation and artifacts to capture solution and compliance evidence
Support the team in the definition and development of power interfaces for systems and equipments
Support development of power model for power profiling, power budget assessment and performance evidence
Work with external subcontractors and equipment suppliers to develop power interfaces
Governance of subcontractors and equipment providers power designs against system requirements
Internal and external design reviews with and without customer community applicable to the power systems
Contribute towards critical programme reviews as the power system engineering conscience
Effectively communicate design options & constraints to a multidisciplined team throughout all phases of the project.

The successful candidate will have the below skills:
A relevant or associated degree (or equivalent) to the role such as Electrical or Electronic engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or considerable work experience in the field.
Understanding of DC voltage laws and their application in power system design (including concept scaling through to detail component design/selection).
Understanding of low voltage AC installation application including safety in power system design.
Experience in power & voltage disturbance sources & management techniques.
Knowledge & understanding of electrical systems in military platforms and Electromagnetic Compatibility/TEMPEST design practices (Defence Standards 61-5 and 59-411).
Knowledge and experience of operational criteria for use of energy storage devices of differing chemical technologies.
Experience of design and integration of electrical systems into harsh environmental conditions (Defence Standard 00-35).
Experience of Systems Engineering practice and requirements managements tools (ie DOORS).
Ability to liaise with and present information to multidisciplined team members.
Ability to interpret multi-discipline design requirements and propose appropriate design solutions.
Willing to travel extensively within the UK and overseas
Excellent presentation, verbal and written skills
Candidates must be willing to undergo a security vetting process.
