## Description

* Develop electronic hardware architecture, schematics, and PCB layouts for automotive traction inverters, covering logic and power electronics.
 * Design, select, and integrate microcontrollers, SiC and IGBT power modules, gate-driver circuits, sensing, protection, power-supply, and communication interfaces.
 * Define and optimize inverter concepts and support compliance with automotive EMC, electrical, thermal, insulation, safety, and reliability requirements.
 * Perform design reviews, simulations, calculations, component derating, tolerance analysis, and failure-mode evaluation.
 * Support prototype build, bring-up, verification, validation, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis at component, PCB, inverter, and vehicle-system level.
 * Translate system and customer requirements into robust hardware specifications, interfaces, and verification criteria following ASPICE processes.
 * Coordinate technical work packages with systems, software, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, purchasing, quality, and functional-safety teams.
 * Manage technical alignment with semiconductor manufacturers, suppliers, external development partners, and test laboratories.
 * Support system design, technical quotations, concept studies, and acquisition activities for high-voltage electrification projects with international OEM customers.
 * Present technical concepts, trade-offs, risks, and project status clearly to internal stakeholders, partners, and customers.
