In this role, you'll be at the heart of cabinet design projects, ensuring robust electrical integration in mission-critical systems. You'll work hands-on with cutting-edge technology, influencing product quality, safety, and performance.

What are you going to do 

  • Design and integrate electrical systems: You'll select and integrate components like UPS units, switches, power supplies, and servers into cabinet systems.

  • Create and document schematics: Using Eplan, you'll develop electrical schematics, cable harnesses, and connector layouts.
  • Collaborate across disciplines: You'll work closely with mechanical engineers, architects, and test engineers (IVQ) to ensure mechanical compatibility, electrical functionality, and system validation.

Essential skills and knowledge 

You are a problem-solver with strong communication skills and a proactive mindset. You're comfortable working in a multidisciplinary environment, balancing technical depth with practical execution. You take initiative and work independently while contributing to team goals.

In addition, you have:

  • At least 5 years of experience as an electrical engineer in complex technical environments.
  • Proven experience with Eplan.
  • Familiarity with military standards (MIL-STD-461, 704, 810) and safety protocols (short-circuit protection, insulation, IP-rating).
