The Opportunity

We are seeking a Principal Power Electronics Control Engineer to lead the design and delivery of advanced control architecture and DSP firmware solutions across our high-power charger platforms.

This role exists to elevate control system performance, firmware robustness, and validation standards across both manufacturing and field-deployed systems. You will act as the senior authority in control strategy, converter switching schemes, sensing, and protection algorithms, ensuring dynamic stability and production-ready firmware at scale.

Based in Brisbane and reporting to the VP, Charger Technology, this is a hands-on technical leadership role working closely with hardware, systems, validation, and manufacturing teams.

What you’ll do

• Lead development of advanced control strategies and DSP firmware
• Own control architecture decisions and dynamic system performance outcomes
• Design and analyse control loops, plant response, and complex system models
• Direct regression testing, HIL testing, and validation strategies
• Analyse logs, interpret test data, and drive root-cause resolution
• Ensure firmware robustness for production release and remote field updates
• Conduct design and laboratory reviews, mentoring engineers
• Contribute to R&D initiatives and intellectual property generation

What you bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, or related discipline
• 10–15 years’ experience in power electronics product development
• Proven experience delivering DSP firmware to high-volume production environments
• Experience remotely updating firmware in field-deployed hardware systems
• Deep expertise in control loop design, converter topologies, and system dynamics
• Strong experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS or equivalent
• Demonstrated technical leadership and ability to influence cross-functional teams
