At Relectrify, we're on a mission to engineer the future of battery energy storage. We are building a disruptive platform that dramatically reduces the cost of storage by unlocking significantly more energy from every battery cell.  We want to see a world abundant with clean energy and believe we will make a meaningful contribution.

Our core values fuel and motivate our work:

Prioritise what matters most: We strive to work with clear objectives and understand why they are the right goals to pursue.
Think critically: We base our decisions on informed, open-minded evaluations, not on hierarchy or gut feelings.
Be decisive: We prioritise action and continuously move forward, adapting as new data becomes available.
Quality and elegance in everything: We put in the effort to distil complexity and make things as clear and impactful as possible.
Collaborate or fail: We seek to work with those who excel and recognise that partnerships are essential to our success.
Get jobs done: We focus on the core task – the job to be done – and we aren’t content until we’ve achieved the desired outcome.

We embrace diverse experiences to fuel our collective success, ensuring everyone can do their best work.

If you are looking to make a positive impact in the world of renewable energy by advancing battery technology, come join us.

What you'll be doing

We're standing up a brand new AI Compute branch of the CellSwitch™ Power platform, and we're looking for a Director of Power Electronics to lead it. This is a rare opportunity to take cutting-edge R&D and shape it into commercially relevant power electronics for AI data centre energy infrastructure, then build the team and roadmap to deliver it.

You'll own the technical strategy, architecture and development roadmap for high-efficiency, high-reliability power electronics in this space. You'll move ideas from concept through prototype, validation and customer demonstration, and on to our productisation teams, while reading where the market is heading and feeding that insight back into our platform and business strategy.

This is a remote position suited to candidates who can work in sync with our APAC timezone. You may be required to travel to our Melbourne HQ from time to time.

Team background

Reporting to Tony Rocco, Director of Innovation, you'll establish and lead a new power electronics team, and work closely with:

Our Chief Technology Officer
Engineering and R&D teams
Business development and commercial teams
External customers and partners across AI data centres
Patent counsel

Who we're looking for

We're seeking an experienced power electronics leader who thrives in a high-growth, technically novel environment. You're as comfortable making deep architecture decisions as you are mentoring a team, shaping a roadmap, and engaging customers. You bring expert depth in resonant power conversion, and a genuine systems view across batteries, conversion, control, safety and reliability. Above all, you can turn early-stage technology into something real, demonstrable and commercially valuable.

What you'll do day to day

Lead the technical direction

Own power electronics architecture and design decisions across CellSwitch™ applications for AI data centres, including conversion topology, operational dynamics, protection and control interfaces
Provide expert technical leadership in resonant power conversion, control, thermal management, EMI/EMC, insulation, fault management, safety and reliability

Drive the engineering

Prioritise, schedule and drive activities through TRL stage gates, keeping the team focused on the highest-value technical and commercial outcomes
Guide hands-on design, simulation, prototyping, testing, debugging and performance evaluation of systems, subsystems and critical components

Connect technology to the market

Work with internal and external stakeholders to turn market opportunities and customer needs into clear technical requirements and product direction
Identify and manage technical risks across safety, reliability, manufacturability, schedule, cost, standards compliance and performance

Run a capable R&D environment

Oversee R&D facility operations as needed to service AI compute development, including lab capability, equipment readiness, safe test practices, maintenance and future orientation

What you'll build over time

Own and evolve Relectrify's technical roadmap for AI compute markets, aligned with our broader technology and commercial strategy
Continuously read market shifts in AI compute power infrastructure and translate them into roadmap priorities and business strategy recommendations
Recruit, develop and retain the team, establishing effective engineering practices, design reviews, test discipline and a clear decision-making cadence
Establish scalable R&D facility operations and lab practices that support safe, efficient and repeatable development, validation and demonstration
Contribute to our intellectual property portfolio through invention disclosures and strategic patent recommendations
Support customer, partner and investor engagement with credible technical summaries, presentations, demonstrations and due diligence responses
Create a clear path from R&D outcomes to productisation, covering manufacturability, supplier engagement, qualification planning and handover to downstream teams

What success looks like

An AI compute power electronics roadmap is established and actively maintained for the CellSwitch™ platform
Priority prototypes and technical demonstrations are delivered through agreed R&D stage gates
A capable power electronics team is built, with clear plans, roles, review cadence and technical ownership
Future customer needs and market requirements are identified and built into the roadmap and business strategy
R&D facility operations support safe, efficient and reliable development, test and demonstration
Technical risks are surfaced early, communicated clearly and reduced through structured design, test and validation
You contribute meaningfully to customer, partner and investor engagement for the new branch

About you

Essential

Masters or PhD in electrical/electronic engineering, power electronics or a closely related discipline
10+ years' industry experience in power electronics, including significant ownership of complex converter, inverter, battery storage or grid-connected power systems
A track record of building, leading and growing engineering teams in a high-growth or technically novel environment
Expert knowledge of resonant power electronics design: topology selection, modelling, magnetics design, control, protection, thermal design, insulation coordination and EMI/EMC management
Experience taking technology from R&D or advanced engineering through prototype, validation, customer demonstration and productisation
Experience identifying future customer needs and translating market insight into technical roadmap and business strategy recommendations
Experience overseeing laboratory, test or R&D facility operations, including equipment readiness, safety, scheduling and capability development
Strong systems thinking across batteries, power conversion, controls, communications, safety, reliability and manufacturability
Demonstrated contribution to technology strategy, business planning, customer engagement and/or fundraising due diligence
Experience contributing to or managing patent portfolios and invention disclosure processes

Desirable

Experience with data centre, UPS, grid-interactive, energy storage or high-availability power infrastructure applications
Familiarity with relevant standards and certification pathways for power electronics, energy storage and critical power systems
