Focus on Integrated Power Products for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.
About the role
This role defines and drives the architecture of integrated power products, including Smart Power Stages (SPS), Hot-Swap Controllers, eFuses, integrated MOSFET solutions, and future power management platforms. It translates complex application needs into product concepts and specifications.
What you'll do
- Define system architectures and product concepts for integrated power solutions.
- Translate system-level requirements into detailed product and MOSFET specifications.
- Define and validate gate driver and MOSFET interactions, including switching performance, timing, and parasitic effects.
- Develop system-level electrical, thermal, and performance models to evaluate feasibility and optimise product architectures.
- Identify and resolve technical challenges related to integration, performance, measurement, and reliability.
- Lead root-cause investigations and drive improvements for performance and reliability challenges in integrated power products.
What you'll need
- Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- 8-12 years of experience in power semiconductors, power electronics, or a related technical field.
- Deep understanding of power MOSFET design, characteristics, and operation.
- Strong knowledge of gate driver design and the interaction between gate drivers and power devices.
- Experience with integrated power products such as Smart Power Stages, Hot-Swap Controllers, eFuses, or similar technologies.
- Strong understanding of system-level power electronics architecture and optimisation.
- Experience developing electrical, thermal, and system-level models using tools such as SPICE, LTspice, SIMetrix, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent.
- Understanding of semiconductor packaging, assembly technologies, and reliability methodologies.
- Experience defining semiconductor product architectures from concept through release.
