Principal Application Engineer for Automotive High-Voltage Discrete Power Products (f/m/div) - Villach, Austria
Originally posted 24 September 2026 by the employer.
Oversee the Automotive High-Voltage Discrete SiC Power Product Portfolios for systems such as OBC/DCDC, AUX drives, and other non-inverter HV loads.
About the role
This role involves overseeing the Automotive High-Voltage Discrete SiC Power Product Portfolios as an application engineer with a focus on systems like OBC/DCDC, AUX drives, and other non-inverter HV loads.
What you'll do
- Identify and evaluate new system concepts, topologies, and application scenarios (e.g., in OBC, DC-DC converters, dual stage vs. single-stage matrix topologies) and define requirement trends for SiC technologies and packages.
- Finalize and own product requirements as input for development projects, incorporating customer and internal expert input.
- Serve as the primary technical interface for lead customers applying products in early sampling stages, providing in-depth technical design-in support.
- Promote new products to customers, identify value propositions, and assess customer Requests for Information or Quotation (RfI/RfQ).
- Develop and deliver technical presentations, publications, conference talks, and trainings for product promotion and positioning.
- Apply structured problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D) to resolve complex technical challenges.
What you'll need
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Physics, or a related field.
- 7+ years of hands-on experience in power electronics design, development, and testing with a strong focus on DC-DC converter topologies, PFC, and SMPS, including OBC applications.
- Expertise in High-Voltage SiC discrete devices, including device behavior, technology characteristics, and electro-mechanical integration.
- Demonstrated ability to structure and solve complex technical problems using systematic approaches such as 8D.
- Strong technical leadership skills with the ability to drive decisions collaboratively.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills in English.
