• Design and dimensioning of components according to requirements

• Form- and function-oriented design

• 3D design and simulation

• Assembly management and documentation

• Close coordination with project stakeholders (hardware design, system design, production, suppliers, customers, project management)

Development of multilayer PCB designs for power electronic systems, with a focus on:

• Compliance with quality and production standards

• Thermal optimization

• EMC-compliant design

• Compliance with clearance and creepage distances

• Close coordination with project stakeholders (hardware design, system design, mechanical design, production, suppliers, customers)

Additional responsibilities:

• Clarification of technical design specifications with suppliers

• Research and evaluation of new technologies

• Testing, evaluation, and optimization of AI-supported development processes
