OUR OPENING AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

We have an exciting opportunity for a Power Electronics Engineer to work with the University of Sheffield and Mettler Toledo Safeline X-ray (SLXR) on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) to develop next generation high voltage generators for X-ray inspection machines.
In this role, you will design, implement, and test digitally controlled power electronic systems, such as power factor correctors and high voltage inverters, to enhance X-ray generator performance. You will lead the project and work closely with SLXR engineers to support product development and commercialization efforts.
