Petalite are a next generation EV charging company with a clear mission: to revolutionise electric charging technology. Through an extensive period in R&D, we gave ourselves the freedom to think differently and the time to reimagine a better way.
Our solutions take EV charging to the point of real change, transforming the way we travel with better EV charging technology. We are removing the charge anxiety caused by today’s infrastructure, creating the freedom to connect, work and explore sustainably.
As a team, we move together. We cannot progress forwards without the people next to us. We never stand still. We learn, we improve, we test until we break through.
We are here to contribute towards something bigger than ourselves. This is a place where everyone plays a part in that vision.
We are looking to recruit a Senior Electronics Engineer who will play a significant role within a cross functional team charged with defining the hardware architecture and managing the flow down of hardware requirements to each of the identified hardware elements.
You will be responsible to develop your assigned designs through the full product design lifecycle, from concept into volume production, following the prescribed hardware development process. You will support your designs as an active participant in cross functional integration and test activities and design verification and product certification testing.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support, and in some cases lead the definition of hardware architecture, allocating functions to physical elements, defining interconnects, and associated physical layer implementations between those physical elements.
- Support, and in some cases lead the specification and selection for off-board mounted electrical components such as contactors, isolators, displays, etc.
- Work closely with the assigned PCB design resources to oversee and direct the PCB layout activity, followed by review and sign-off on the completed PCB design.
- Direct and supervise the assembly of first prototypes. Plan and implement the board bring up tests. Participate in planning and implementation of the integration testing programme.
- Participate to development and continuous improvement of processes within the Quality Management System, defining the product lifecycle for electronics hardware development.
What you would receive:
- An excellent opportunity in the delivery of world class electrical and electronic designs through the full design lifecycle from initial concept into volume production
- A competitive salary, company pension scheme, private medical insurance, death in service cover, 29 days annual leave + bank holidays. We have a buy and sell holiday scheme and a salary sacrifice EV Car scheme. There is access to charge your vehicle for free at work. Parking is also free.

- Petalite is based in Birmingham B4 7BA.
Essential Requirements
- An ideal candidate will be degree qualified and have experience in design of high-speed processor boards with mixed signal content, including high voltage and current measurement circuits, contactor drivers, small DC/DC converters and voltage regulator circuits.
- Working knowledge in the principles of design for EMC and application to the design of microprocessor board designs, having developed and tested at least one design through to successful EMC certification.
- Experienced and competent in lab-based testing, in design and execution of board bring up tests, design proving, design verification and certification tests.
- Experienced in conducting FMEA, fault tree analysis and reliability estimation of HW designs.
- Competent in structured problem-solving techniques, able to coach and mentor less experienced team members to analyse and solve difficult problems.
Desirable Requirements
- Preferably having knowledge and experience in development of high-power charging systems and/or traction systems in the Electric Vehicle (EV) arena.
- Experience of designing processor boards with the Infineon Aurix TC3x7 processor family would be a distinct advantage.
- Schematic capture and PCB design in Altium 365 would be also be a desirable skill.
