  • Drive system-level analysis and optimization, translating use cases into actionable insights
  • Drive product definition with Marketing and GaN R&D using application-driven insights
  • Act as the central technical authority for customers, supporting deep-dive technical discussions, design reviews, and in-depth application analysis
  • Generate data-driven technical content (application notes, reference designs, documentation)
  • Collaborate with leading research institutes and universities on advanced application R&D projects, and represent the company at academic and industry technical GaN events

##

## What You Will Bring

  • University degree in Electrical Engineering or other related technical discipline
  • Minimum 5 years of relevant work experience in the semiconductor industry
  • Strong power electronics background (LV to 1200V)
  • Proven hands-on hardware development experience (design, bring-up, debug, validation)
  • Experience with GaN or SiC preferred
  • Strong system-level mindset linking application and device behavior
  • Experience in benchmarking and performance analysis
  • Understanding of AI/data center power is a plus
