FAE ENGINEER - cdi

ITEN is the leading industrial company developing and manufacturing solid-state lithium-ion micro-batteries in the form of SMD components. Such micro-batteries are rechargeable in a few minutes and are not only able to store high energy density but also to deliver power and high peak currents (a few 100 mA) over a wide operating temperature range. ITEN’s micro-batteries are the ideal solutions to back-up and power up applications in electronics, SSDs, mobile and GPS devices, SSDs, medical devices, smart cards and security tokens, home and building automation, smart cities, wearables and e-textile, IoT and more generally wireless sensor networks. Would you like to play your part in a dynamic and very innovative multi award winning tech company? Join us and be part of what’s next in energy storage.

The Sales and Business development Team is seeking an enthusiastic Applications Engineer who will be responsible for the application electronics development of our micro-battery product portfolio and the technical support of our customers to help shortening their design phase.
