Shape the Future of Medium Voltage Power Conversion at a Global R&D Leader

Do you thrive on the forefront of next-generation power electronics and want to push the boundaries of high-power energy systems? We are seeking an exceptional technical expert for a globally leading technology pioneer and innovator in digital power solutions, located in Nuremberg. Here, you will encounter the resources and impact of an international technology powerhouse combined with the agility, scientific rigor, and collaborative spirit of a world-class research laboratory.

In this role, you are not merely executing standard designs—you act as the senior technical authority steering medium-voltage (MV) research initiatives from initial architecture to physical lab validation. Our client is driving the global green energy transition by designing novel power converters and control systems for high-power Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Data Centers, and Megawatt-scale EV charging infrastructures.

What You Will Do: Your Mission

• Serve as the Technical Authority: Formulate technical roadmaps and strategic requirements for cutting-edge R&D activities in Medium Voltage Power Conversion Systems.
• Architect Next-Gen Solutions: Lead and execute the research and development of novel MV topologies and converter structures across high-power Solar PV, BESS, Data Center, and EV charging domains.
• Drive Laboratory Validation: Take end-to-end ownership of converter design, testing, verification, and proof-of-concept validation in state-of-the-art R&D laboratories.
• Foster External Research Collaborations: Partner closely with leading universities and research institutes to co-develop advanced converter topologies and control algorithms.
• Build Intellectual Property: Pioneer breakthrough technical concepts and secure them through international patent (IPR) filings.
• Empower the Team: Mentor, guide, and inspire cross-disciplinary R&D engineers across international teams.

Your Qualifications

• Academic Excellence: Master's degree or PhD in Power Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Industry Track Record: Several years of proven experience in medium-voltage, high-power electronics, and prototype/system development within an industrial R&D context.
• Deep Domain Expertise: Profound technical mastery of MV converter topologies, modulation schemes, control algorithms, and Megawatt-scale hardware design.
• Standards & Insulation: Working knowledge of relevant MV standards along with practical insulation coordination experience.
• Innovation & Leadership: Demonstrated track record of leading technological initiatives, driving novel concepts, and mentoring technical teams.
• Working Style: High degree of autonomy, a target-driven "can-do" mindset, and the drive to think outside established boundaries.
• Languages: Professional fluency in written and spoken English; willingness to travel occasionally for conferences and technical forums.

Bonus (Nice-to-Have)

• Track record of published patents and IPR filings in high-power conversion.
• Practical hands-on expertise in Megawatt-class testing and grid-compliance validation.
• German, Mandarin, or additional language skills.
