Senior FAE

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 over a wide operating temperature range. ITEN’s micro-batteries are the ideal solutions to back-up and power up applications in electronics, IOT (Asset tracking and monitoring, sensor data loggers, beacons and RF tags, autonomous wireless sensors in home and building automation, smart cities), medical devices and wearables or e-textile.

The Sales 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. The job entails working with cross-functional groups to continually push the envelope of technology implemented in ITEN products
