Senior Electrical Engineer - Platform

• You create and maintain electrical schematics, terminal diagrams, and documentation using EPLAN P8, including wiring and harness-related aspects;
• You own and continuously improve our EPLAN environment, including: article databases, macro libraries, templates and drawing standards;
• You define requirements and drive component selection together with the Platform R&D team, using structured technical decision matrices and clear engineering criteria;
• You ensure proper dimensioning and qualification of electrical components based on technical, environmental, and regulatory requirements;
• You ensure compliance with relevant standards (e.g. EN 60204-1, EMC basics, and applicable internal or military standards);
• You define, document, and enforce electrical engineering guidelines and best practices;
• You mentor and support the engineering team in all topics related to EPLAN, system structure, and electrical design workflows;
• You review and validate electrical designs for quality, consistency, and robustness;
• You ensure alignment between electrical design data (EPLAN) and higher-level system and BOM structures.

Your Profile

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, or technician/master with relevant experience;
• Several years of experience in electrical design for machines or complex systems;
• Strong hands-on experience with EPLAN P8 (ideally including administration and data management);
• Experience with component selection, dimensioning, and electrical system design;
• Good understanding of electrical communication networks (e.g. CAN, Ethernet) and their proper integration into system design;
• Experience working with relevant standards (e.g. EN 60204-1, ISO 13849-1 or similar);
• Ideally, experience with mobile or ruggedized systems designed for harsh environments (shock, vibration, dust, water ingress);
• You understand the end-to-end flow from schematic design (EPLAN P8) to harness definition and physical integration;
• Familiar with PLM systems and BOM data structures (e.g. Teamcenter, ARAS or similar), including their interaction with electrical design tools;
• Ideally, you combine schematic design (EPLAN P8) with hands-on experience in harness design tools such as EPLAN Harness ProD/Cable ProD;
• Structured and independent way of working with a high sense of ownership;
• Fluent in English (German is a plus).
