experience
* 7+ years in hardware or mechanical product development, ideally for power electronics (inverters, converters, obc, or similar).
* proven experience with product design processes, including cad, pcb layout definition, emc, thermal design, and requirement engineering.
* hands‐on experience supporting manufacturing plants and handling engineering changes (dfmea, drbfm, 8d).
* understanding of production processes and ability to evaluate cost/benefit options.
nice to have:
background specifically in power electronics design (si/sic/mosfets, thermal interfaces, high‐voltage insulation, emi/emc mitigation).
soft skills & additional requirements
* strong communication and stakeholder management skills (internal & oem).
* ability to negotiate and manage escalations diplomatically.
* crisis management and structured problem-solving skills.
* ability to motivate and integrate cross-functional teams.
