  • Technically steer power electronics development teams to ensure development work follows agreed system needs, architecture decisions, platform strategy, cost objectives, and program priorities
  • Ensure solutions meet performance, cost, reliability, and regulatory requirements
  • Drive platform alignment, modularization, and reuse across applications while supporting global consistency
  • Define requirements for power electronics modules, such as VFDs and DC/DC converters, as a clear basis for development
  • Evaluate technical and commercial trade-offs and guide decision-making
  • Ensure consistency between solution definition, development execution, and implementation across projects
  • Leverage hands-on power electronics expertise to guide technical decisions and mentor engineers

  • Proven hands-on experience in the design and development of power electronics systems
  • Solid understanding of VFD applications in HVAC and refrigeration systems
  • Ability to translate system requirements into structured, cost-efficient, and globally scalable technical solutions
  • Strong ownership mindset and ability to drive technical alignment across organizational interfaces
