• Support verification and validation, including bench and vehicle testing

Requirements

• MSc or BSc in Electrical Engineering, Electric Power Engineering or equivalent

• Min. 5 years of hands-on, hardware-focused experience with high power contactors or similar HV protection and switching components

• Solid knowledge of DC and AC protection technology, including protection coordination at system level and fault analysis

• Experience with dynamic and steady-state analysis, such as short circuit currents and system impedance

• Practical experience with high voltage, high power testing, both bench and vehicle, as well as verification and validation

• Experience writing technical requirements and working directly with suppliers

• Fluent in English, spoken and written

Please note before applying

We review every application carefully against the requirements above. Applications that don’t clearly show hands-on experience with high power HV components, protection coordination and testing will not be taken further.

In your application, please briefly describe an HV component you’ve been technically responsible for, and how you handled its protection, testing and supplier work.
