Senior Technical Lead, New Product Development, SiC & Si Power Discretes/Modules

Responsibilities

• Own product definitions and technical requirements for power discrete and power module products.
• Translate business, system, and customer requirements into clear, actionable engineering deliverables.
• Ensure alignment of product intent across die, package, and module implementations.
• Evaluate and select product architectures, technologies, and packaging concepts based on feasibility and risk.
• Develop deep understanding of die-to-package interaction, including its impact on electrical, thermal, and reliability performance.
• Serve as the central technical leader driving alignment across TD, PE, packaging, test, reliability, quality, supply chain, and manufacturing teams.
• Drive clarity on interfaces, dependencies, deliverables, and milestones across global NPD teams.
• Identify gaps, misalignment, and execution risks early, and proactively drive resolution.
• Influence cross-functional teams without direct authority, ensuring accountability and timely decision-making.
• Coordinate system-level electrical, thermal, and mechanical modeling to validate product performance.
• Own product-level risk identification and maintain visibility on design, execution, qualification, and manufacturing risks.
• Drive mitigation strategies and ensure disciplined execution tracking.
• Lead design reviews, execution checkpoints, and program gate reviews.
• Act as the primary escalation point for critical product and execution issues.
• Clearly frame risks, tradeoffs, and recommended actions for leadership decision-making.
• Ensure adherence to NPD governance, BKMs, and engineering rigor expectations.
• Lead cross-functional task forces to resolve critical technical and execution challenges.
• Drive structured problem solving, including root cause analysis, containment, and corrective actions.
• Provide strong leadership to align stakeholders, mobilize resources, and ensure closure of high-impact issues.
• Enable rapid, data-driven decisions under high-pressure and crisis scenarios.
• Build a culture of accountability, urgency, and excellence in engineering across teams.
• Provide clear, concise, and high-impact executive updates on product status, risks, and recovery plans.
• Translate complex technical challenges into decision-ready summaries for senior leadership.
• Drive alignment across stakeholders through structured communication and consistent messaging.
• Ensure transparency of risks, priorities, and tradeoffs to leadership.
• Represent the product in executive reviews, escalation forums, and cross-functional leadership discussions.

Qualifications

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in power semiconductor product development, with deep expertise in power discrete and/or module products (SiC/Si MOSFET preferred).
• Deep understanding of power device physics and semiconductor fabrication processes, including device architecture, wafer processing, and fab-to-product interactions.
• Strong expertise in power device and packaging fundamentals, including module and discrete packaging, electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance, die-to-package interaction, and reliability mechanisms.
• Proven track record of leading product-level execution across complex, global programs, influencing cross-functional teams without direct authority and consistently delivering against performance, cost, and schedule targets.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional task forces and drive resolution of high-impact technical challenges, with strong ownership of root cause analysis, decision-making, and closure under high-pressure conditions.
• Strong experience in escalation management, with the ability to clearly frame technical issues, risks, and tradeoffs, and drive decision-ready discussions with senior leadership.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership, communication, and executive-level presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex technical topics into clear, concise messaging for stakeholders.
