Power Control Engineer (KTP Associate)

This position contributes to “Deploying Intelligent Modular Power for Tomorrow’s Grid”, a joint Knowledge Transfer Partnership with the Institute for Energy Systems at the University of Edinburgh (UoE) and Supply Design Ltd (SDL). This is one of two complementary KTP Associate roles within the project, and the goal for this Associate is to create intelligent, reconfigurable control systems for modular power nodes that can be adapted across multiple energy sector applications. This control system will be developed and tested in collaboration with the work done by the other Associate developing a custom Hardware In the Loop (HIL) platform for SDL.

Your skills and attributes for success:

• A good honours degree or MSc/PhD in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Knowledge of control systems, embedded software, or power electronics.
• Analytical and creative problem-solving skills
• Collaborative, open, and proactive mindset.
• (Desirable) Experience with the design and control of modular multilevel converter, or related hardware/software prototyping.

To enhance renewable energy integration, this KTP project develops advanced control systems for power electronics using digital twin and multi-module power electronic technologies. This collaboration aims to improve energy efficiency and support the transition to a more sustainable, net-zero energy system.
