Electrical Design Engineer

Job Overview

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Electrical Design Engineer to join our subsidiary team in Germany. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrical primary design, power system design, and electrical secondary systems, with a focus on high-voltage applications (110 kV and above). Experience in renewable energy, energy storage, and substation design is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and engineer high-voltage electrical systems (220 kV and above) for substations, renewable energy projects, and energy storage systems.
• Develop detailed electrical primary and secondary system designs, including protection, control, and automation schemes.
• Conduct power system studies, including load flow, short-circuit, stability, and protection coordination analysis.
• Prepare technical specifications, drawings, and documentation in compliance with German and international standards (e.g., DIN, IEC, IEEE).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including civil, mechanical, and project management, to ensure integrated project delivery.
• Perform site visits and assessments as needed to support design validation and project execution.
• Stay updated with industry trends, technological advancements, and regulatory requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related field.
• Proven experience in electrical design for high-voltage systems (110 kV+), substations, renewable energy, and energy storage projects.
• Strong knowledge of electrical primary systems (e.g., switchgear, transformers, busbars) and secondary systems (e.g., protection relays, SCADA, control panels).
• Expertise in power system analysis and simulation tools, including:
• DIgSILENT PowerFactory (mandatory)
• PSCAD/EMTDC (mandatory)
• Proficiency in engineering and design software:
• CAD tools: AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or similar
• Calculation software: ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or equivalent
• Familiarity with relevant standards and regulations (e.g., DIN VDE, IEC 61850, IEEE standards).
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken); German language skills are a plus.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with grid integration of renewable energy and storage systems.
• Knowledge of digital substation design and IEC 61850 implementation.
• Professional engineering certification (e.g., Chartered Engineer, PE license, or equivalent).

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• A collaborative and innovative work environment.
• Involvement in cutting-edge projects shaping the future of energy systems.
