About the role

At Nexperia, we are shaping the future of integrated power solutions for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. As a Senior Principal System Architect, you will define and drive the architecture of next-generation integrated power products, including Smart Power Stages (SPS), Hot-Swap Controllers, eFuses, integrated MOSFET solutions, and future power management platforms.

Working at the intersection of customer requirements, system architecture, semiconductor technology, and product development, you will translate complex application needs into innovative product concepts and specifications that deliver differentiated performance and value to customers.

This is a highly visible technical leadership role that requires deep expertise in power semiconductors, system-level architecture, modelling, and integrated power product development.

What you will do

  • Define system architectures and product concepts for next-generation integrated power solutions
  • Translate system-level requirements into detailed product and MOSFET specifications, including efficiency, thermal performance, reliability, and protection features
  • Define and validate gate driver and MOSFET interactions, including switching performance, timing, parasitic effects, and integration constraints
  • Develop system-level electrical, thermal, and performance models to evaluate feasibility and optimise product architectures
  • Identify and resolve technical challenges related to integration, performance, measurement, and reliability
  • Collaborate closely with device design, gate driver design, packaging, applications, validation, and product engineering teams
  • Support customer engagements, technical discussions, and early-stage evaluations by translating application requirements into product solutions
  • Lead root-cause investigations and drive improvements for performance and reliability challenges in integrated power products
  • Contribute to the long-term technology roadmap and strategic product direction for integrated power solutions
  • Provide technical leadership and mentoring across multidisciplinary engineering teams

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
