Electrical Design & Control Systems Engineer

Electrical Design & Control Systems Engineer (m/f/d)

Employment Type: Permanent | Full-Time

Build the electrical systems behind next-generation high-energy technology.

We're partnering with an innovative deep-tech engineering company developing some of Europe's most advanced experimental systems. Operating at the intersection of high-voltage engineering, precision electromechanics and advanced scientific research, they're looking for an experienced Electrical Design & Control Systems Engineer to play a pivotal role in the design, build and commissioning of complex electrical infrastructure.

This is an opportunity to work on technology that pushes engineering boundaries, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams of physicists, mechanical engineers and systems specialists in a fast-paced R&D environment.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of the electrical design and implementation of sophisticated laboratory and industrial systems, ensuring safe, reliable and compliant solutions from concept through to commissioning.

Responsibilities

• Designing electrical control cabinets for low and high-voltage applications
• Producing complete electrical documentation using EPLAN, including schematics, terminal plans, cable lists and bills of materials
• Building, wiring and integrating electrical control systems
• Conducting electrical risk assessments and ensuring compliance with relevant German and European standards
• Supporting commissioning, testing, troubleshooting and validation of electrical systems
• Advising on electrical architecture, grounding, EMC, protection concepts and safe system design
• Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to translate technical requirements into practical electrical solutions
• Maintaining structured engineering documentation and supporting continuous improvement of engineering standards
• Supporting laboratory and on-site installation activities when required

What We're Looking For

• Completed apprenticeship or degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related discipline
• At least 3 years' experience designing, building and commissioning electrical control cabinets
• Strong hands‑on experience with EPLAN
• Excellent understanding of industrial electrical systems and control panels
• Experience with PLC hardware, relays, contactors, circuit breakers, safety systems and instrumentation
• Ability to read, produce and maintain electrical schematics and technical documentation
• Practical experience with wiring, cable routing, shielding and professional assembly techniques
• Strong knowledge of standards such as DIN VDE 0100, DIN EN 61439, DIN EN 60204-1 and DGUV Vorschrift 3
• Experience carrying out electrical risk assessments and implementing mitigation measures

Nice to Have

• Mechanical manufacturing knowledge (machining, laser cutting or 3D printing)
• Experience working with high-voltage or experimental systems

Why Apply?

• Join a highly innovative engineering environment working on complex, cutting‑edge technology
• Work alongside multidisciplinary teams solving unique technical challenges
• Influence projects from concept through commissioning
• Modern laboratory and workshop facilities
• Genuine technical ownership and autonomy
• Long‑term career progression within a rapidly growing deep‑tech organisation

If you're passionate about electrical engineering, enjoy building sophisticated systems, and want to work on technology that few engineers ever get the opportunity to experience, I'd love to hear from you.
