#WeAreIn for jobs that impact everyone's life.

What if your ideas could change the way the world connects, powers up, or thinks? As a Principal Engineer for Automotive High-Voltage Discrete Power Products on our Research & Development team, you'll have the opportunity to merge creativity with your technical expertise by shaping the future of technology, driving groundbreaking projects, and bringing new ideas to life.

Are you in?

Your role

In this position, you will oversee one of the world's largest Automotive High-Voltage Discrete SiC Power Product Portfolios as an application engineer with a focus on systems such as OBC/DCDC, AUX drives, and other non-inverter HV loads.

Key responsibilities in your new role

  • Identify and evaluate new system concepts, topologies, and application scenarios (e.g. in OBC, DC-DC converters, dual stage vs. single-stage matrix topologies) and define the requirement trends for our next-generation SiC technologies and packages to enable system innovation for our customers
  • Finalize and own the product requirements as input for development projects. Inputs come from our customers as well as our internal global system expert network, or need to be assumed by you.
  • Identify the optimal product concept together with our concept engineers if trade-offs are to be taken into account
  • Serve as the primary technical interface for our lead customers who apply our products in the early sampling stage in their next-generation system development; learn together with them and provide in-depth technical design-in support. To do so, you will collaborate closely with our key development (R&D) experts
  • Promote our new products in development to our customers with ambition and a clear value proposition which you have identified. Assess new customer Requests for Information or Quotation (RfI/RfQ), select the best-fitting product, identify special customer requirements, and address them internally
  • Develop and deliver technical presentations, publications, conference talks, and trainings for product promotion and positioning
  • Apply structured problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D) to resolve complex technical challenges, leveraging cross-functional expert networks
  • Act as a technical expert lead within the team, share knowledge, and coach and mentor team members on device behavior, technology aspects, application know-how, and how to drive decisions collaboratively
  • Actively contribute to intellectual property generation and technical innovation

Your profile

Qualifications and skills to help you succeed

  • A degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Physics or a related field
  • Typically 7+ years of hands-on experience in power electronics design, development, and testing with a strong focus on DC-DC converter topologies, PFC, and SMPS, ideally including OBC applications
  • Proven expertise in High-Voltage SiC discrete devices, including a deep understanding of device behavior, technology characteristics, and electro-mechanical integration
  • Demonstrated ability to structure and solve complex technical problems using systematic approaches such as 8D
  • Strong technical leadership skills with the ability to challenge ideas constructively, balance risks and opportunities, and drive decisions collaboratively in a global organization
  • Advanced communication skills combined with a strong team-player and customer-first mindset
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills in English - clear, convincing, and effective across customer and internal audiences
