• Technical Project Management: Lead and coordinate complex customer projects from the acquisition phase through specification to mass production, with a strong focus on our SiC power transistors (chips and discretes)
• Customer Interface: Be the technical point of contact for our strategic customers (OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers) regarding the use and integration of our SiC products into their applications (e.g. traction inverters, charging systems, solar inverters, industrial drives)
• Requirements Analysis: Detailed collection, analysis, and translation of customer requirements into technical specifications and product strategies
• Technical Consulting & Support: Proactive technical advice to customers on the selection, design-in, and optimization of their circuits and systems using our SiC components. This also includes support for troubleshooting and resolving technical challenges
• Roadmap Input: Provide input for the product roadmap based on customer requirements and needs, market trends, and competitive analysis within the SiC segment
• Internal Project Coordination: Coordinate internal resources (R&D;, Applications, Quality, Production, Sales) to ensure timely and successful completion of customer projects
• Presentations & Training: Create and deliver technical presentations, workshops, and training sessions at customers, conferences and internal meetings on SiC products and their applications.
• Competitive Analysis: Monitor competition and the market landscape in the SiC sector to strengthen our positioning
