• Execute new-product evaluations and detailed test plans to identify limitations and application considerations.
• Deliver technical presentations, trainings, and written application content.
• Represent the customer perspective within cross-functional development teams to support informed design decisions.
• Provide hands-on customer support through the full design cycle, including troubleshooting and recommendations.

Required Skills

• Power electronics expertise, including operation and control of high-voltage topologies (e.g., PSFB, DAB, resonant LLC/CLLC).
• Ability to work independently on application circuits for power products.
• Strong analytical and communication skills; effective collaboration in multidisciplinary teams
• Programming/scripting understanding to create, modify, and maintain code for analysis or automation; comfortable using AI tools to generate code and then validate and adapt it.
• Experience with schematic capture, PCB design exposure, and simulation tools (e.g., LTspice, PSIM, SIMPLIS, PLECs and Simulink/Matlab.
• Hands-on lab experience (oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, etc.)
• Ability to design, bench test, and debug power electronic circuits and support issues through the product lifecycle
• Positive, proactive attitude and strong teamwork skills

Preferred

• Experience with Digital power electronics and control concepts (advantage)

Qualifications

• Honours Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Electronic & Computer Engineering, or related field
• 7+ years of semiconductor industry experience, including high-voltage power electronics.
