Automation and Electrical Systems Engineer Automation and Electrical Systems Engineer About us Windworks develops actively controlled vertical-axis wind turbines for clean, local and affordable energy production. We pioneered an advanced technology control system for wind turbine blades, using sensors, control software and proprietary actuation technology to dramatically increase our machine performances . Our turbines are designed for on-site power generation in commercial, industrial and community applications, especially where conventional wind turbines are difficult to deploy. Based in the Lausanne area, Windworks combines aerodynamic research, experimental testing, mechanical design, electronics, control and field validation to bring a new generation of wind turbines to market. Role description You will participate to the definition, integration and validation of the turbine’s electrical architecture, contributing directly to a technology that must perform reliably over time in harsh conditions. This role offers a high level of ownership and impact, with the opportunity to shape key parts of the system architecture and see your work move quickly from concept to testing and deployment. You will collaborate closely with a small multidisciplinary team, iterate rapidly, and contribute to making a technically ambitious product reliable and scalable. Main responsibilities The applicant will have about 5 years of experience in electrical architecture, automation systems (PLC-based, including industrial communication protocols), motor sizing and selection, generator sizing and integration, the dimensioning of components and integrated circuits (custom or off-the-shelf), along with a solid understanding of signal acquisition and processing. 1. Electrical Architecture Design, prototype, and validate the overall electrical system comprising sensors, motors, generators, drivers, AC/AC and AC/DC converters, inverters, rectifiers Grounding / earth connection experience Surge / lightning protection 2. Automation provide structured reporting on progress and issues, expresses technical needs early. Well-organized with strong planning skills, able to define clear steps, anticipate resource.
