Senior Electrical Engineer; Research

Introduction of the job

As an Electrical Engineering Researcher, you will specify, design, develop, realize, integrate, and test modules and tools in a multi-disciplined team, collaborating closely with cross-functional partners and suppliers. You will deliver within system specifications, cost targets, and project schedules, ensuring timely realization of solutions that contribute to competitive, achievable, and serviceable products. The Electrical Engineering researcher requires a broad skillset with an aptitude to learn as needed.

This role will include interpretation of requirements to define electrical system architecture, schematic design, board layout, embedded software, board integration and test. The position requires highly motivated, extremely organized, and self-driven individuals.

You will take the lead in developing complex parts of modules and deliver technically complex solutions with full ownership, considering industrialization and cross-team impacts. Collaborate across multiple teams, lead interfaces with suppliers and other disciplines in less defined environments and guide a small group of peers through technical execution.

Role and Responsibilities

In this role, you will contribute to engineering deliverables that scale with job grade, from executing defined tasks and supporting senior engineers to owning complex technical scope, coordinating cross-functional work, and leading program-level outcomes.

Test Bench Ownership

• Define and maintain test bench interface requirements and system architecture.
• Take end-to-end ownership of test bench functionality, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Drive test bench development from concept through deployment and operational support.
• Coordinate with stakeholders to ensure alignment between test bench capabilities and project requirements.

Electrical Design & Integration

• Design electrical test bench hardware, schematics, and system layouts.
• Create and maintain electrical and cabinet designs using EPLAN and Powerpoint.
• Design and integrate instrumentation, safety systems, power distribution, and control hardware.
• Support commissioning, integration, debugging, and validation activities.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

• Create comprehensive user manuals, operating procedures, and maintenance documentation.
• Publish and maintain technical documentation within Teamcenter (TC).
• Ensure all designs and documentation comply with organizational standards and engineering best practices.

Test Support & Troubleshooting

• Diagnose and resolve electrical, PCB, wiring, and system integration issues.
• Support laboratory activities, prototype builds, and engineering investigations.
• Identify and implement improvements to enhance test bench…
