At REWIRE – we are an Innovation and Knowledge Centre (IKC) funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), our aim is to accelerate the UK’s ambition for net zero by transforming the next generation of high voltage electronic devices using wide/ultra-wide bandgap compound semiconductors. We are looking for a R&D Director, who will work closely with the Academic Director (Professor Kuball) to advise on strategic industry partnerships and pathways for the commercialization of REWIRE technology. These technologies are the essential building blocks for some of the exciting and innovative projects we have on going, such as ultra-high voltage (UHV) net-zero enabling all-electric trains, ships and heavy goods electric vehicles (EV), charging infrastructure, renewable energy and their High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) grid connections. As a collaboration between academic researchers in Bristol, Cambridge and Warwick and industry partners, led by Bristol, the role holder will help propel REWIRE to drive the transition of technologies that emerge from fundamental research towards proof-of-concept, commercialisation, and exploitation
