Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEIS), enables design breakthroughs and drives growth for leading semiconductor and industrial customers. Our precision power and control technologies, along with our applications know-how, inspire close partnerships and innovation in thin-film and industrial manufacturing. We are proud of our rich heritage, award-winning technologies, and we value the talents and contributions of all Advanced Energy's employees worldwide.

For our Engineering Team in Germany we are looking for a Senior Electronic Engineer (m/f/d) located in Metzingen (Stuttgart Region)

POSITION SUMMARY:

We are seeking a Senior Power Electronics Design Engineer for our advanced high-voltage, high-power power electronics systems used in semiconductor and industrial applications. This role is focused on system architecture, platform strategy, and complex problem solving across multiple products.

As a Senior Engineer, you will operate with broad autonomy and influence, guiding technical direction, setting engineering standards, and solving the most challenging power electronics problems in the organization. Success in this role is defined by system robustness, scalability, and long-term technology impact—not short-term firefighting.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Technical Leadership & Architecture

Define system-level architectures for high-voltage, high-power, digitally controlled switch-mode power supplies
Lead design trade-offs across topology, control strategy, magnetics, insulation, and thermal design
Establish best practices and design standards for power electronics and high-voltage systems across product lines

Advanced Design & Development

Develop and validate advanced simulation models for complex power systems, including plasma and highly dynamic loads
Guide digital power control strategies, working with firmware and control teams on stability, performance, and robustness
Provide deep technical expertise in root-cause analysis of complex electrical, control, and reliability issues

Product & System Ownership

Provide technical oversight for multiple products or platforms from concept through production and field deployment
Partner with product management, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain to ensure scalable and manufacturable designs
Lead technical risk assessment and ensure compliance with applicable safety, EMC, and regulatory standards

Cross-Functional & External Engagement

Act as a senior technical interface with key customers, suppliers, and partners on system-level challenges
Influence technology roadmaps and long-term platform strategies in collaboration with engineering leadership
Mentor senior and junior engineers, raising the technical bar across the organization
Lead design and architecture reviews, providing clear technical direction without direct people management
Expect approximately 10% travel for targeted customer engagement, supplier collaboration, and system integration

QUALIFICATIONS:

Technical Expertise

Expert-level experience in high-voltage and high-power switch-mode power supply (SMPS) design
Strong background in digitally controlled power systems using DSPs, microcontrollers, or FPGAs
Deep understanding of power conversion topologies, magnetics, insulation systems, thermal design, and high-voltage safety
Experience applying safety, EMC, and regulatory requirements in semiconductor or industrial environments

Professional Capabilities

Proven ability to operate autonomously and make architecture-level technical decisions
Demonstrated ownership of complex systems across multiple product generations
Exceptional analytical and troubleshooting skills for ambiguous, cross-disciplinary problems
Ability to influence technical direction across teams without formal authority
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Fluent English communication (C2 proficiency preferred), German preferred min B1 - level

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related field (required) and 8+ years of progressive experience in power electronics or electrical engineering product development
Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Power Electronics or Control Systems (preferred)
Experience in semiconductor capital equipment, plasma systems, industrial power, or high-voltage applications strongly preferred

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US:

An international environment in an innovative electrotechnical high-tech electrical engineering company
Challenging and varied tasks
Use of our technologies worldwide in industrial and semiconductor applications
Collegial collaboration in a globally networked team
Flexible working hours for an optimal work-life balance
Areas of responsibility with a high degree of independence
Individual and needs-oriented training and development opportunities

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:

Corporate benefits with financial advantages in everyday life
Job bike to support environmentally friendly mobility
Health offers for your well-being
Modern office equipment for pleasant and efficient work
