Project description:

Are you passionate about technology? So are we!
To strengthen our team of experts at our client in the defense industry, we are seeking a Senior Electronics Developer - Power Electronics (m/f/x) for a permanent position at K-tronik.
We look forward to getting to know you in person—and to working together with passion and team spirit on exciting projects and cutting-edge technologies.

Tasks:

• You will analyze existing devices, interfaces, and obsolescence drivers, and use this analysis to develop sustainable concepts for the further development and modernization of existing systems
• Based on system requirements, you will design and size converter stages, control loops, analog interfaces, filters, magnetic components, and protection functions
• You will select suitable components, taking into account performance, derating, reliability, lifecycle, availability, and supply security
• Working closely with the PCB layout, mechanical engineering, cable development, system development, and test engineering departments, you will coordinate technical decisions and ensure their successful implementation
• To validate your development decisions, you will prepare calculations, simulations, schematics, design specifications, and technical justifications for formal reviews
• You will oversee prototypes from initial commissioning through technical failure analysis and conduct thorough root cause investigations
• In addition, you will support qualification planning, technical risk management, and the preparation of effort estimates and work package plans
