JOB DESCRIPTION

As a Power Electronics Solutions Engineer, you will support our clients in addressing cutting-edge research objectives using Imperix equipment. Your role will involve assisting them in selecting the products that best fit their needs while adhering to technical or budget constraints. Your recommendations will be instrumental in accelerating their path to success and ensuring the implementation of fully functional prototypes.

At Imperix, there is no cold calling or outbound sales prospecting. Your focus will be strictly on providing technical guidance, responding to inquiries as they arise and engaging with customers through listening, asking the right questions, and offering transparent information.

Within our sales team, you will manage opportunities from initial requirements collection, drafting technical proposals, supervising system assembly, leading factory testing, monitoring delivery, and assisting customers during the initial setup process. In cases where custom control software is required, you may take on the development and testing yourself.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND MAIN DUTIES

• Host web meetings and handle email inquiries from potential customers worldwide.
• Ask targeted technical questions about converter topologies, power ratings, control strategies, and other performance requirements to identify key challenges and constraints.
• Develop recommendations, typically identifying the required sensors for specific controls, suitable control hierarchization approaches, or appropriate power module types.
• In specific situations, dimension or pre-design auxiliary equipment and facilitate their procurement, such as medium-frequency transformers, energy storage systems, etc.
• Design comprehensive solutions using Imperix controllers, power modules, and software. Plan cabinet layout and integration while preparing detailed technical and financial proposals.
• Collaborate closely with internal R&D teams to resolve complex technical requests and execute advanced customization projects.
• Dedicate part of your time to working on customer-specific engineering projects, application notes, or contributing to core R&D activities.
• Occasionally conduct customer visits, oversee on-site commissioning, or participate in trade shows.

REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Education and Experience: MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering.

Seniority: 0–5 years of relevant experience. More senior profiles are also welcome.

Technical Skills: Broad and diverse knowledge of power converter topologies, control techniques, and hardware-related prototyping requirements.

Communication Skills: Interest in customer-facing roles with an ability to explain complex concepts. Excellent command of English, both written and spoken. Additional languages are a plus.
