Overview
Join to apply for the Staff Engineer role at Vishay Siliconix Itzehoe GmbH
Product and process development of aluminum electrolyte capacitors and supercapacitors. Development of product lines for radial, SMD capacitors and EDLCs for both non-automotive and automotive (according to IATF) specific requirements.
Responsibilities
* Specification of production samples (from prototyping to series production), set-up, triggering and assessment of appropriate tests in the quality department.
* Participation in setup of change proposals and modification of production rules.
* Accompanying evaluation of currently applied materials and components and uncovering potential for standardization in existing product lines.
* Failure analysis (products, processes and materials).
* Development of non-standard capacitors based on existing products and product lines; design of customer-specific solutions ("specials").
* Development of non-standard capacitors and product lines; application support & design-in.
* Analyses of competitors’ products and benchmarking against Vishay products.
Electrical and measurement techniques
* Measurement and assessment of relevant electrical, physical and chemical parameters of capacitors; measurement of non-standard electrical parameters.
* In-depth analyses using X-ray imaging, SEM, reflow soldering simulation and long-time testing with acceleration factors (e.g., temperature, humidity, overvoltage and current).
Manufacturing support
* Troubleshooting and manufacturing support; interface to the operations department with regard to series production.
* Assessment of new materials (note: to be done by a newly introduced separate function in the short term): electrode foils (anodes and cathodes; aluminum and carbon foils); separator material (low impedance and high voltage); electrolytes (low and high temperatures); administrative handling of the related approval process.
