Long Description
As our new Product Development Engineer, you will be driving end-to-end hardware design and development of electronic controllers, VFDs, and power-drive systems for Grundfos's next-generation product platforms. You'll be part of a diverse, supportive and inclusive culture, that celebrates our differences and puts people first by fostering growth, well-being, and a sense of belonging.
What you will be doing
As a key part of the PD WU Controls team, you'll create impact by Architecting robust, safety-critical electronics solutions that power sustainable water systems serving millions of people worldwide..
Your main responsibilities include:
• Select and architect microcontroller platforms (8/16/32-bit) and design robust electronics architecture for controllers, VFDs, soft-starters, and power-drive systems
• Develop schematics and PCB layouts using PADS/Altium, and perform circuit simulation using PSPICE, LT-SPICE, or MATLAB Simulink
• Lead system-level design including magnetics design, thermal calculations, switching/conduction loss analysis, and EMI/EMC design considerations
• Execute Design FMEA, MTBF analysis, and ensure compliance with safety standards for safety-critical product development
• Perform board-level testing, system integration, fault finding, and coordinate with firmware teams during code development and validation
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, and third-party test labs to meet product requirements and certifications
What makes you a great fit
Above all, you are a hands-on power electronics hardware engineer with deep expertise in embedded controller design, strong analytical skills, and a drive to deliver reliable, scalable product platforms in an agile environment. We would also imagine that you have:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering or Electronics Engineering
• 7+ years of experience in hardware design within the power electronics domain, including power supply and inverter designs
• Proficiency in PADS schematic and PCB design tools, with experience in hardware communication interfaces (RS232, RS485, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB)
• Strong knowledge of control system design (PID), motor control theory (Induction/PMSM/FOC), and interfacing power electronics devices
It is a plus if you also:
• Experience with system design and modelling in SaberRD or MATLAB Simulink
• Knowledge of safety-critical product development standards and third-party certification processes
• Experience managing multiple concurrent development projects in an agile environment
Why you will love working here
We care! Day to day, you can look forward to:
• A working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support.
• Annual bonuses, health insurance and a strong focus on well-being activities.
• Three days' additional paid leave for volunteering in your community.
• Access to on-demand training and learning sessions and carefully structured programmes to pursue personal and professional development opportunities.
We are inclusive! Celebrating and valuing our differences helps us see possibilities where others can't. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from all abilities, experiences, and backgrounds.
