Job Description Summary The Power Electronic Systems Modelling Engineer will be responsible for developing, validating, and applying advanced models of power electronic systems, converter-based architectures, and their interactions with electrical machines and power networks. The role involves high-fidelity modelling, control system development, and simulation of DC & AC power systems with deep penetration of converter technologies. The successful candidate will combine strong analytical skills with a deep understanding of power electronics, control, and electrical systems to drive innovation and system-level performance optimization Job Description The Power Electronic Systems Modelling Engineer will be responsible for developing, validating, and applying advanced models of power electronic systems, converter-based architectures, and their interactions with electrical machines and power networks. The role involves high-fidelity modelling, control system development, and simulation of DC & AC power systems with deep penetration of converter technologies. The successful candidate will combine strong analytical skills with a deep understanding of power electronics, control, and electrical systems to drive innovation and system-level performance optimization Key Responsibilities for the Role include: System Modelling & Analysis Develop detailed and high-fidelity dynamic models of power electronic converter systems , electrical machines , and power systems using state-of-the-art modelling tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, ANSYS Maxwell, or PSCAD, DIgSILENT PowerFactory etc). Perform system-level studies to analyse the impact of high converter penetration on Converter fed power grid stability, harmonic distortion, transient response, and control interactions. Investigate and model converter control strategies (e.g., dc & ac grids, current/voltage control, droop control, grid-forming and grid-following control, active and reactive power management). Develop reduced-order and high-fidelity models suitable for different analysis layers — from control design to large-scale power network simulations. Support the design and optimization of multi-MW converter systems , ensuring accurate representation of electromagnetic, thermal, and dynamic behaviours. Control & Simulation Development Design, implement, and validate control algorithms for converter systems, integrating with machine and DC & AC grid dynamics. Carry out time-domain, frequency-domain, and stability analyses to assess performance under various operational conditions. Develop digital twin models and real-time simulation frameworks to support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing. Evaluate the influence of converter topology, modulation techniques , and control architectures on system-level performance. System Studies & Integration Conduct grid integration studies for converter-dominated systems, including fault ride-through, system strength, and power quality assessments. Collaborate with cross-functional teams in power electronics design, control, and system integration to ensure alignment between model assumptions and physical implementations. Develop methodologies to predict and mitigate interaction effects between multiple converters and grid components on AC & DC grids for marine power systems applications. Validation & Documentation Support model validation through comparison with experimental and field test data. Document modelling procedures, assumptions, and validation results to ensure traceability and knowledge transfer. Contribute to technical reports, publications, and design reviews to support internal R&D and customer projects. Stay current with emerging modelling methodologies, tools, and standards for converter-based power systems. Qualifications & Experience Essential: Degree (Beng or Meng or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Control Engineering, or a related discipline . Strong theoretical and practical understanding of power electronics converters, control systems, and electrical machines . Proven experience in dynamic system modelling and simulation of converter-based power systems . Expertise with modelling and simulation tools , such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSCAD, PSSE, DIgSILENT, or Modelica . Understanding of control design , signal processing , and system stability theory . Knowledge of grid integration challenges in renewable or converter-dominated networks (e.g., wind, solar, HVDC, microgrids). Desirable: Experience with real-time simulation platforms (e.g., OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL, RTDS). Familiarity with EMT, RMS, and hybrid simulation techniques for multi-timescale studies. Experience in harmonic analysis, electromagnetic transient analysis , or EMC/EMI modelling . Background in co-simulation frameworks combining electrical, thermal, and mechanical domains. Strong programming and scripting skills (e.g., MATLAB, Python, C/C++, Modelica, or VHDL-AMS). Personal Attributes ·Strong communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills. Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset with a passion for technical innovation. Strong report writing skills; writes clearly and succinctly to meet the needs and understanding of the intended audience.
