- Demonstrated leadership in leading cross-functional engineering teams.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to distill complex technical concepts into customer-ready specifications.
- Hands-on experience in system architecture of high voltage power electronics products in automotive safety critical applications or Industrial applications.
- Experience in collaborating with Tier 1 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) on the development and integration of power electronics systems. This includes a deep understanding of system-level requirements, component selection, and cross-functional coordination to deliver high-performance, reliable solutions in complex product environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field with a focus on power electronics, automotive systems, or semiconductor technologies.
- Deep understanding of solid-state switching technologies (e.g., SiC, GaN) and their application in high-reliability automotive and industrial environments.
- Proven experience architecting systems that meet ASIL-C/D requirements under ISO 26262, including development of safety concepts, technical safety requirements, and safety cases.
- Familiarity with power architecture in AI Datacenter of today and future and system integration challenges.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make high-impact architectural decisions in ambiguous or evolving technical environments.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence internal teams and external partners at all levels.
- Prior experience representing technical strategy in customer engagements, industry working groups, or standardization bodies is a plus.
Why Join Us?
- Work on cutting-edge technologies that shape the future of power electronics in AI-DC and Automotive industries.
- Collaborate with world-class engineers and product leaders.
- Influence strategic direction and innovation in safety-critical systems.
