Model, simulate, and analyse — lead modelling and simulation of power electronic converter systems using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSpice, Mathcad, and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), including thermal studies, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), harmonic analysis, and performance optimisation.
Verify and validate — lead verification, validation, and testing of low voltage and medium voltage power electronic systems, ensuring designs comply with relevant health and safety standards, international regulations, and class society rules.
Provide cross-functional technical support — collaborate with tendering, test, and commissioning teams, and liaise with customers, suppliers, and subcontractors to deliver against project quality, cost, and schedule targets.
Advance engineering practice — apply and develop engineering standards, design practices, and analytical tools that raise the bar for MW-scale converter system engineering across the team.
