Our ICT solutions, products and services are used in more than 170 countries and regions, serving over one-third of the world's population. With 197,000 employees, Huawei is committed to developing the future information society and building a Better Connected World.

Huawei's Boltzmann Research Center (Vienna) is responsible for advanced magnetic technology research, material and process development, design and strategic engineering of our magnetic components. We focus on the development of soft magnetic materials, permanent magnetic materials, and components which are applied in Huawei's ICT products including power supply, wireless communication, etc. Through insight into global magnetic technologies and independent research, we aspire to explore and make breakthroughs in fundamental theories and technologies such as computation and simulation, formula design, molding process, etc.

Senior Engineer – Power Electronics/Magnetic Design (m/f/d)

As a Senior Power Electronics & Magnetics Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design of high-density, board‑mounted power supplies. You will push the limits of W/in³ through advanced packaging and high-frequency switching (MHz range), developing Point‑of‑Load (PoL) converters, VRMs, and isolated/non‑isolated DC‑DC modules that power the next generation of processors.

• Design & Optimization: Design compact AC‑DC and DC‑DC converters directly onto multi‑layer PCBs, optimizing for footprint, efficiency, and thermal performance. Propose new concepts, design and optimize magnetic components such as inductors, transformers, based on simulation results, ensuring performance and efficiency.
• Magnetic Field Modeling & Simulation: Perform detailed 2D/3D magnetic field simulations to analyze and optimize the design of electromagnetic components and systems.
• Custom Magnetics Integration: Design and optimize 'on-board' magnetics, including planar transformers, integrated inductors, coupled inductors, etc.
• Prototyping & Testing Support: Collaborate with hardware engineers and prototype teams to validate simulation results with physical testing and assist in troubleshooting and resolving any discrepancies between simulated and measured data.
• Tool Development & Automation: Develop custom simulation tools, scripts, and workflows to automate and streamline the simulation process for efficiency and consistency.
• Establish and maintain cooperation with industrial institutions and universities in Europe.

Your areas of expertise

• Educational Background: Master’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering (Focus on Power Electronics or magnetics), or a related field.
• Experience: Hands‑on experience with power supply design, specifically for data centers, telecommunications, or high‑performance computing.
• Technical Expertise:
  • Proficient in PCB design tools for high‑density power routing, simulation tools like Comsol.
  • Expertise in high‑density planar magnetics design and manufacturing techniques and processes.
  • Deep knowledge of topologies like buck, boost, LLC.
• Skills & Knowledge:
  • Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, and electromagnetics.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python) for automating simulations and data analysis.
  • Experience with multi‑physics simulations that involve thermal, mechanical, and electrical.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
  • Fluency in written and spoken English.

Benefits

• Our culture is characterized by innovative power and team spirit as well as the intensive exchange of knowledge and experience within our global network.
• We offer healthy meals ranging from traditional Chinese to western delicacies in our famous company canteen.
• To keep your development ongoing, you will find a broad range of training opportunities. Many online and face‑to‑face training programs incl. language courses in German and Mandarin.
• Our diverse and welcoming environment is shaped by different backgrounds and around 40 individual nationalities.
• Self‑responsible work in a competent, motivated and constantly growing team.
