Assignment Period: 2 November 2026 – 2 November 2028

The Role

Sperton is looking for a Power Electronics Simulation Engineer to join an advanced Electronics & Software team working on next-generation electrified powertrain systems.

In this role, you will develop and apply simulation models to evaluate, optimize and validate power electronics solutions throughout the product-development process. You will work with electric drive units, inverters, power converters and their interaction with the complete vehicle system, supporting the development of efficient and robust solutions for sustainable mobility.

What You'll Do

• Develop, maintain and validate simulation models for power electronics systems and components.

• Perform electrical, thermal and efficiency simulations for inverters, DC/DC converters, semiconductor devices and associated components.

• Support component sizing, topology selection, design optimization and technical trade-off studies.

• Present simulation results, technical findings and recommendations clearly to engineering teams, suppliers and project stakeholders.

• Contribute to verification and validation activities from concept development through to series production.

What We're Looking For

• Master’s degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Applied Physics or a related field.

• Hands-on experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, LTspice, PSIM, Ansys or equivalent.

• Strong understanding of power semiconductor technologies, switching circuits, modulation methods, passive components and power-conversion topologies.

• Programming or scripting experience in Python, MATLAB or a similar language is an advantage.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex simulation results into practical engineering recommendations.
