Electrical Engineer - High Voltage

Location: The Hague

Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer who enjoys solving complex challenges involving high voltage, high current and fast electrical pulses? You will join an ambitious nanotechnology scale-up in Delft developing advanced technology that accelerates the discovery of new materials.

At the heart of the technology are precisely controlled electrical discharges used to generate nanoparticles. This creates unique engineering challenges where high voltage, high current, fast switching and pulsed power come together.

As part of a small multidisciplinary Product Development team, you will take broad technical ownership of the electrical systems behind this technology. This is a hands-on engineering role: you will develop and improve electrical concepts, but you will also spend significant time in the lab building, measuring, testing and debugging real systems.

You will work closely with senior technical experts and have the opportunity to grow with the company, potentially developing into a leading technical role within electrical engineering as the organisation scales.

Your responsibilities
You will work on the development and industrialisation of complex electrical systems, with a particular focus on high-voltage, high-current and pulsed-power applications.

Design, analyse, test and improve high-voltage (1 kV), high-current (100

A) and fast-switching electrical systems.

Develop and improve pulsed-power and pulse-generation concepts used to create short, controlled electrical discharges.

Work on electrical and power-electronics challenges at both component and system level.

Investigate switching behaviour, electromagnetic effects, parasitics, thermal behaviour and EMC/EMI, and translate your findings into practical design improvements.

Build, test, measure and troubleshoot prototypes and electrical systems in the laboratory.

Diagnose complex electrical problems and perform root-cause analysis when prototypes or systems do not behave as expected.

Select and evaluate electrical components, power components, cabling, connectors and subsystems.

Create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and Bills of Materials (BOMs).

Support system integration, validation and the transition from experimental setups to robust, scalable products.

Contribute where needed to adjacent areas such as motor control, PLC integration, embedded electronics and electrical architecture.

Collaborate closely with engineers, technicians and researchers from different technical disciplines.

Ensure designs meet relevant electrical safety and EMC requirements and maintain clear technical documentation.

Because the electrical team is still relatively small, the scope is intentionally broad. You will not be limited to one specialist area: designing, testing, debugging and practical integration are all part of the role.

You will join an ambitious nanotechnology scale-up based in Den Haag that develops advanced equipment for the production and application of nanoparticles. Its technology enables researchers and industrial companies to accelerate the discovery and development of new materials with applications in areas such as green hydrogen, gas sensing and battery technology.

The technology combines nanotechnology, physics and advanced electrical engineering. Controlled electrical discharges are an essential part of the process, creating challenging engineering problems involving high voltage, fast electrical pulses and complex system behaviour.

You will work in a small, international and multidisciplinary development team of approximately 15 people. Electrical engineering is closely integrated with other engineering and research disciplines, so communication and collaboration are essential.

The culture is entrepreneurial, hands-on and non-hierarchical. Engineers are expected to take ownership, contribute outside their immediate specialism when necessary and turn technical ideas into working hardware. The company has modern laboratory facilities in Delft where systems are designed, built, tested and continuously improved.
