Power Electronics Engineer
Oxford, UK (on-site)
About Densix
Densix is redefining what’s possible in power conversion.
Spun out of the University of Oxford and backed by leading investors, we are commercialising patented, ultra-high power density converter technology. Our innovations unlock smaller, more efficient, and more flexible power systems across high-growth sectors including AI compute, electric vehicles, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy.
We are transitioning from breakthrough research to first product—and building a world-class engineering team to make it happen.
If you’re motivated by solving hard, real-world problems and want to see your designs move rapidly from concept to deployed systems, this is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage and shape both the technology and the company.
The Role
As a Power Electronics Engineer at Densix, you will play a central role in translating our core IP into robust, manufacturable products.
This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary position suited to engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments —from architecture through to testing and customer deployment.
You will work closely with a small, high-calibre team and have direct influence on technical decisions, product direction, and future IP development.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, test and validate cutting-edge power conversion systems
- Participate in major projects in electrical, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing fields
- Take ownership of subsystems and contribute to overall system architecture
- Develop and execute rigorous test plans, including validation, reliability, and compliance (e.g. EMC, thermal, lifetime testing)
- Collaborate with customers and partners to integrate Densix technology into real-world applications
- Contribute to the generation and protection of intellectual property
- Stay at the forefront of developments in power electronics and related technologies
What We’re Looking For
Essential
- MEng (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related discipline
- 2+ years of relevant industry experience
- Demonstrable track record in technical design, simulation, and experimental validation in analogue and digital electronic systems and circuits
- Proficiency at electronic design and PCB layout, including rapid prototyping and design iteration
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a willingness to take ownership and learn quickly
Desirable
- Direct practical experience of designing, building, and testing power electronic circuits and systems
- Experience of working on electrical systems operating above 600VDC
- Microcontroller software experience applicable to power electronics control systems (e.g., high speed feedback systems written in bare-metal C at >10kHz loop frequency)
- Mechanical design skills and related experience with mechanical CAD systems (Solidworks, Fusion360 etc.)
- Exposure to compliance and certification processes (EMC, safety standards)
Why Join Densix?
- Own meaningful work early – your contributions will directly shape our first products and future roadmap
- Cutting-edge technology – work with patented innovations pushing the limits of power density
- Small, focused team – collaborate closely with experienced engineers and founders
- Real-world impact – create products that enable more efficient power systems across global industries
- Growth opportunity – develop quickly as the company scales
