We are seeking a Principal Power Electronics Hardware Engineer to lead the design and delivery of high-performance, production-ready power electronics hardware across our charger platforms.

This is a senior technical authority role, responsible for architectural decisions, design integrity, and technical risk management across switching converters, magnetics, thermal systems, and sensing architectures. You will play a critical role in ensuring our power modules meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, manufacturability, and safety as they transition into high-volume production.

Based in Brisbane and reporting to the VP, Charger Technology, this is a hands-on leadership position working closely with systems, control, manufacturing, and quality teams.

What you’ll do

• Lead architecture and design of advanced power electronics hardware
• Deliver robust, production-ready solutions across converters, magnetics, thermal and sensing systems
• Direct validation strategy, test planning, and technical risk assessments
• Conduct deep simulation and analytical modelling across electrical, magnetic, and thermal domains
• Lead complex root-cause investigations and drive corrective actions
• Mentor engineers and elevate overall hardware engineering standards
• Contribute to R&D initiatives and intellectual property generation
• Drive continuous improvement aligned to high-volume manufacturing

What you bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
• 10–15 years’ experience in power electronics product development
• Proven success delivering hardware into high-volume manufacturing
• Deep expertise in switching converters, magnetics design, and thermal management
• Strong simulation, modelling, and analytical capability
• Demonstrated technical leadership and ability to influence cross-functional teams
• Strong understanding of full hardware product lifecycle from concept to production

Why Tritium?
