YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Working in an interdisciplinary team, you will develop technology concepts through to pre-series-ready designs for power electronic systems in the industrial and mobility sectors. You will take responsibility in several of the following areas:

Development of mechanical designs for power electronic systems, both model- and prototype-based, with a focus on:

Requirements analysis (thermal aspects, production, manufacturing, tolerances, strength, materials)

Design and dimensioning of components according to requirements

Form- and function-oriented design

3D design and simulation

Assembly management and documentation

Close coordination with project stakeholders (hardware design, system design, production, suppliers, customers, project management)

Development of multilayer PCB designs for power electronic systems, with a focus on:

Compliance with quality and production standards

Thermal optimization

Compliance with clearance and creepage distances

Close coordination with project stakeholders (hardware design, system design, mechanical design, production, suppliers, customers)

Additional responsibilities:

Clarification of technical design specifications with suppliers

Research and evaluation of new technologies

Testing, evaluation, and optimization of AI-supported development processes

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You have completed a technical apprenticeship (e.g. industrial electronics technician) or hold a degree in mechatronics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a comparable field.

You bring professional experience in several of the following areas and are motivated to further develop both personally and professionally:

Experience in the design of mechanical components (metal parts, plastic parts, overmolded parts), from prototype design to series production

Experience in thermal design of air- and water-cooled systems

Experience in PCB design, preferably for power electronic circuits in the range of 100 W to 22 kW

Solid background knowledge in electronics development, preferably in power electronics

Your skills and attributes:

Good written and spoken English skills

German language skills at B2 level or higher are an advantage, along with a willingness to further improve them

Enjoyment of concept development under varying levels of requirement maturity

Flexibility and strong communication skills

Interest in researching and evaluating new technologies

Willingness to travel

High level of personal responsibility as well as a structured and goal-oriented working style

Ability to understand and consider cross-functional design challenges and constraints

Experience with the following development tools is an advantage:
