Your role and your team:

In your role, you support all phases of the design, assembly, and commissioning of switchgear for mechanical and low voltage test rigs up to 1 kV (AC & DC) as well as its operation and maintenance. In your role you work in close collaboration with your qualified colleagues in the Test Operation team as well as with other colleagues from the Testing division. You ensure that electrical test setups meet the required quality standard for safe electrical installations.

Your day to day:

• You will contribute your knowledge, expertise and professional experience to ensure that the regulatory requirements for the design of switchgear for mechanical and electrical test benches up to 1 kV (AC & DC) are met based on applicable electrical and safety technical standards. This includes the analysis and specification of electrical safety and control systems, as well as their technical verification and design validation
• You select the electrical parts and components, support their procurement and the preparation of the corresponding technical documentation
• You assemble the electrical equipment, integrate switchgear into test benches and assist with instrumentation, commissioning and maintenance
• Through your feedback, you actively and continuously participate in process improvement, troubleshoot, support root cause identification and contribute to administrative tasks to develop and maintain the functionality of the TO team and its facilities (e.g. in the creation of processes, templates and technical documentation, maintaining the electrical workshop)

Your profile:

• Master craftsman or technician qualification as electronics technician for industrial, operational, or automation technology, a comparable education, or a degree in electrical engineering with at least 3 years of present experience in this field is required. Additional experience with electrical systems up to 1 kV DC and high-power batteries for automotive applications is an advantage
• Knowledge and experience in the practical application of the Low Voltage Directive, the Machinery Directive and the corresponding electrical standards such as DIN EN 50191, DIN EN 61010-1, DIN EN 61439 or comparable standards of the electrical industry are an advantage
• Knowledge of safety controls, their function and scope of application is appreciated
• Experience in sensor application and use (e.g. strain gauges, acceleration sensors, thermocouples, etc.) is a plus
• Efficient use of standard IT software such as MS-Office and willingness to learn new software tools (e.g. databases) is essential. Additional experience in the use of E-PLAN is an advantage
• The ability to work in a team, a high sense of responsibility, manual dexterity and the ability to work on the basis of verbal and written instructions or complex technical documentation characterize you. We require a goal-oriented and motivated way of working with analytical, independent problem-solving skills to organize your own tasks
• Good written and spoken English skills are required, German skills are an advantage
• A drivers license class B (car) is required
