I started at Prodrive Technologies directly after receiving my master’s degree in applied physics, two years ago. I wanted to solve new technological challenges with creative colleagues, but I did not know exactly what role would suit me. Prodrive Technologies offered me the opportunity to become part of a small but ambitious design team, defining the next generation of custom power modules. Innovation in power module technology proves to be essential in the development of efficient electric cars. While bringing alive our new designs, I found myself developing the latest chip integration technologies in our cleanroom. Basically, I get to play with very expensive toys in order to bring about the newest technologies for making power modules.
A big benefit to Prodrive Technologies is that I can be mobile and grow in my field of interest, due to the extensive variety of competences we have available. In addition to power electronics, I am now involved in the design of exceptionally complex bonding processes for a high-end electron beam detector module. For this I surround myself with experts in the field, to combine and even expand multiple technologies beyond their current limits. The additional challenge here lies in designing a solution that is also suited for series production.
