Electrical Engineer - High Voltage Technology | 100%

Our client is a highly specialized Swiss company in high voltage power transmission, with a portfolio ranging from composite hollow core insulators to insulating components for switchgear and transformer applications. In this role you take on electrical field and thermal calculations for high voltage components and build the calculation basis the development team relies on.

• Perform electric field calculations for high voltage components in AC applications up to 550 kV, in line with IEC and IEEE
  
• Calculate and assess the thermal behaviour of parts and assemblies under realistic operating conditions
  
• Set up, run and evaluate FEM simulations
  
• Analyse existing designs and optimise them with regard to electrical and thermal capability
  
• Verify calculation approaches and consolidate them into a validated reference basis (Fact Book)
  
• Document your results in traceable calculation reports and clear technical recommendations
  
• Work closely with development, design engineering, the test field and production
  

Requirements

• Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical field
  
• Experience in electric field calculation and/or thermal calculation, ideally in high voltage technology
  
• Working knowledge of FEM simulation, e.g. COMSOL, ANSYS, Abaqus or comparable
  
• Experience with CAD, ideally SolidWorks, is a plus
  
• Specific product knowledge is not expected; professional experience is welcome but not required
  
• Structured, independent and hands-on way of working
  
• Strong communication skills in English; German is a plus
