• Minimum of 3 years of relevant professional experience in technical project management or as an application engineer in power electronics, ideally with a clear focus on power semiconductors
• Sound knowledge of Silicon Carbide (SiC) power transistors (MOSFETs, diodes) and their applications (e.g. in e-mobility, renewable energies)
• Deep understanding of the specific characteristics of SiC components (e.g. switching behavior, thermal management, gate driving, parasitics) and their integration into power electronic circuits
• Evident experience in customer interaction in a technical consulting or project manager role
• Strong communication and presentation skills to convey complex technical issues
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and a structured, results-oriented way of working
• Willingness to travel for customer meetings and conferences (up to 30%)
