Summary Generated by Built In
Our Client is a global technical group specializing in electric power conversion, serving customers in 47 countries across OEM and Aftermarket & Service segments, with R&D, production and service sites in Europe, the Americas and Asia. For their engineering hub, we are looking for a Product Manager Power Electronics - Inverter systems.
About the role:
You will own the technical direction of our inverter and power converter platforms - from kilowatt-class units up to multi-megawatt systems. Reporting directly to the Head of Engineering, you will combine hands-on system architecture with product-level thinking: shaping the technology roadmap, mentoring engineers, and representing our technical vision in front of customers and partners.
This is a highly independent role for someone who is comfortable making architectural decisions, resolving conflicting design constraints, and keeping the full project portfolio in view. You will also take part in commercial negotiations and assess new business opportunities from a technical standpoint within our product lifecycle (PLC) process.
What you will do:
- Drive the definition and development of new power frequency converter platforms, planning and coordinating each phase from concept to execution.
- Translate market, regulatory and operational needs into clear system requirements - usable both internally and in front of customers, in technical and business language.
- Select converter/inverter topologies, control strategies and integration approaches for new product lines
- Resolve complex, sometimes conflicting design requirements and coordinate across engineering disciplines.
- Act as technical partner for PMO, sales, manufacturing, purchasing and development teams.
- Guide problem-solving on complex projects and set the technical direction for the engineering team.
- Make sure designs are manufacturable, testable and reliable - with standardization in mind.
- Define electrical, mechanical and software integration points across the system.
- Apply and champion IEC, CE, UL and marine standards (GL, LR, ABS) in daily design work.
- Present and defend the technical vision in customer and stakeholder meetings.
Requirements
- Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (Bachelor's or higher).
- 8+ years of experience in power electronics or a closely related field.
- Proven track record as a system lead or architect of complex products/systems.
- Strong troubleshooting skills at both component and subsystem level.
- Familiarity with engineering quality systems (PLC, engineering change management).
- Excellent communication and technical writing skills - reports, analyses, presentations.
- Leadership across organizational boundaries: you get results without formal authority.
Benefits
- Work on innovative renewable energy projects.
- Stable employment with a company of established global market position.
- Professional development opportunities and technical training.
- Work at an R&D centre with access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure.
- Attractive compensation package corresponding with experience plus yearly bonus.
- Hybrid work model.
