Technical Illustrator

Wärtsilä is an innovative technology company known for being a forerunner in the Marine and Energy markets. Our ultimate aim is to provide increased value to both our customers and society. New, game-changing ideas and continuous improvement have been part of our DNA since 1834. Together, we can create new business opportunities and a more sustainable future that we can all be proud of.

Our Marine Electrical Systems business provides innovative state-of-the-art system solutions for technically demanding requirements focusing on naval ships, yachts, and special vessels of all types. As a competent partner for ship owners and shipyards worldwide, Marine Electrical Systems assumes overall responsibility for complex systems projects.

We are now looking for an open-minded and team-oriented Technical Illustrator (m/f/d) to join our ILS (Integrated Logistics Support) team in Hamburg, Germany.

What you will be doing

The team is responsible for providing our military customers (mainly the German Navy) with high-quality and up-to-date information and deliveries covering the complete ILS scope. This starts from LCC-RAMS analysis and maintenance information and covers also the spare parts information as well as the technical documentation for the complete portfolio of the Marine Electrical Systems.

As Technical Illustrator, your work will focus on these responsibilities:

1. Creation of interactive technical illustrations based on BOMs (Bill of Materials) and technical data sheets
2. Self-reliant and pro-active communication and close cooperation with the involved engineering, development, and project departments
3. Self-reliant revision and creation of interactive technical drawings/illustrations
4. Conducting reviews and closing lectures to ensure factual accuracy of illustrations
5. Ensure adherence to deadlines, costs, and quality for the implementation of system manuals, spare parts catalogues, and other ILS activities

To be successful in this role we expect you to have:

1. Technical system designer or similar design-oriented professional education
2. Several years of professional experience

Good written and verbal skills in (technical) German and English

Excellent technical (and electrotechnical) understanding and spatial sense

Experience in the creation of technical illustrations in the scope of ILS

In this role, some travel is required to meet with our customers. Thus, we hope you are ready to travel approximately 5%, even though most of the meetings are held virtually.

Why you and us?

We at Wärtsilä believe in empowerment, ownership, and taking responsibility for our work. We support each other’s growth, and co-creation is the true basis of our innovation. We have the courage to see opportunities and take initiative.

We are authentic and honest, and we strongly believe that by being your true self, you can accomplish so much more. We want everyone to voice their opinions freely. That is why we have built an environment that empowers you and everyone around you, where you can feel safe and cared for. Are you eager to be part of this ambition?

We have an amazing team and we are excited about our work and the impact it has on building sustainable societies. We are looking to find a colleague with this shared passion for smart technologies and a sustainable future.

We hope to hear from you soon by submitting your application through our careers portal. We aim to keep you updated on the process throughout.
