You will support the global rollout of the demand planning system and contribute to the ongoing improvement of related processes and capabilities. Thanks to your analytical mindset, you will help establish and maintain a system usage quality management process by setting up reporting on key performance indicators, analyzing results, and offering recommendations for improvement.

You will also play a role in organizing and connecting the global demand planning community in markets where the system has already been implemented. This includes coordinating a network of planners, promoting knowledge sharing, and collecting best practices that can serve as reference points for the Group.

In this position, you will collaborate closely with regional and area demand planning teams, engaging regularly with markets to support system usage and contribute to capability-building efforts.

 

The energy landscape is evolving rapidly, requiring power distribution systems of increasing complexity and high reliability. Emerging technologies are adapting to a progressive increase in renewable energy sources and converter interfaces to power new sectors like transportation and industry, which pose new challenges for transmission and distribution operators. Silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors have matured in both device fabrication and performance, making them an attractive option for many power electronic designers due to their superior electrical properties. However, despite their recent successful market entry, particularly in electric vehicles, several challenges related to the gate stack reliability of SiC MOSFETs must be addressed to enable widespread adoption across various power electronic applications.

The Semiconductors Packaging and Reliability Engineering research team is looking for an intern student to contribute to the development of an innovative test setup for reliability investigations. Such setup is meant to address the threshold voltage stability of SiC MOSFETs over a large number of cycling events under accelerated application and aging conditions. The successful candidate will run measurement campaigns for SiC devices and help develop a theoretical framework to analyze and model the data. The tests are run on a double pulser tester featuring a half bridge evaluation board rated for 3.3kV and 150A operation.

 

How you’ll make an impact

  • Conduct measurement campaigns and data analysis based on the latest models available in literature
  • Propose innovative solutions for gathering more insights from the experimental tests: creating sensors array prototypes and automated data collection software
  • Optimize a half-bridge converter for long-term dynamic testing of SiC MOSFETs
  • Upgrade test electronics and data acquisition software needed to run high-precision measurements for extended test time
  • Document and communicate the solutions developed, to disseminate the gained knowledge within the research team, academic collaborators and the business unit of pertinence.
  • Monitor and optimize the productivity projects portfolio in collaboration with key company functions.
  • Ensure project updates in the Iproview tool and generate extracts (Excel, Power BI) to feed into reporting.
  • Manage a portfolio of Volvic/Sparkling projects (~€2M): steering committee facilitation, timeline planning, risk analysis, action coordination, and recommendations to top management.
  • Support the setup of the process transformation project; define the objective, list of deliverables, and associated timeline with the process owners and key users from the business;
  • Diagnose the current process; identify its strengths and weaknesses, pain points, and key areas of improvements;
  • Target process definition and documentation;
  • Process digitalisation, in collaboration with our in-house IT Team of business analysts and developers, defining the requirements and following up on the development of the solutions, ensuring it is completely functional;
  • Deploy the new process and associated tools; define and run the change management & communication plan; train the end users, etc;
  • Monitor & continuously improve the newly deployed process and associated tools.
  • Reviewing negative news, PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) and sanctions alerts in the public domain relating to financial crimes, including money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit transactions involving money or securities
  • Documenting the results of the review and ensure that escalation is properly handled and documented
  • Communicating professionally and constructively to effectively resolve issues in a timely and efficient manner
  • Drawing meaningful conclusions and using sound judgment, based on all relevant and documented facts and considerations
  • Ensuring that policies and procedures are adhered to on a daily basis.
