About the role

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the practical implementation, integration, and optimization of electrical systems for industrial machines, robotic cells, and automation equipment.

This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong connection to the shop floor, production, commissioning, and industrialization, not a purely R&D or office-based design position. The focus is on safe, compliant, and manufacturable electrical solutions, ensuring robust industrial execution in accordance with machine safety standards and electrical regulations such as EN 60204 and VDE 0100.

Special Note
This is not a purely R&D or theoretical design specialist. This role requires hands-on technical ownership—working closely with the shopfloor, solving practical industrial challenges, and ensuring safe, reliable machine operation in day-to-day use.

Your Responsibilities

Design, review, and optimization of electrical systems for machines, robotic cells, and industrial automation equipment
Creation and validation of electrical schematics, technical documentation, and compliance-related documentation
Ensure compliance with EN 60204, VDE 0100, machine safety requirements, and electrical safety standards
Support commissioning, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and technical problem-solving directly on the shop floor
Drive prototype build-up, industrialization, and transfer into stable production processes
Provide technical support for assembly, wiring, testing, and supplier/system integrator coordination

Essential Skills

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, or comparable technical qualification
Strong practical experience in industrial electrical engineering, machine building, automation, or robotics
Solid knowledge of EN 60204, VDE 0100, and machine electrical safety requirements
Experience with electrical equipment of industrial machines and production systems
Hands-on mentality with willingness to work directly in production, commissioning, and troubleshooting
Strong understanding of electrical safety, inspections, and practical risk assessment
Confident use of E-CAD tools such as EPLAN
Structured working style, ownership, and clear technical decision-making

Beneficial Skills

Experience in robotic systems integration and special machinery
Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA)
Experience working with suppliers, external integrators, and test laboratories
Background in prototype development and industrialization projects
Experience in cross-functional collaboration between engineering and production
International project experience and strong communication skills in global teams
