You will work closely with customers and collaborate with R&D teams responsible for developing power electronics solutions and DC equipment to co‑develop innovative, reliable, and efficient power solutions.

The work model for the role is hybrid.

Location: Global – Germany, Italy, Switzerland and/or USA

You will be mainly accountable for

• Design DC power distribution systems incorporating DC distribution equipment such as switchgear, circuit breakers, busbars, energy storage and other power electronics devices.
• Co‑develop solutions with customers to ensure alignment with market needs.
• Perform electrical system simulations and validate architectures through practical evaluation.
• Conduct system studies (load flow, short‑circuit, protection coordination) using simulation tools.
• Develop and evaluate protection schemes (short‑circuit analysis, coordination, etc.).
• Collaborate with R&D teams responsible for developing power electronics solutions and DC equipment.
• Frequently review and understand relevant standards, including those still under development, to ensure compliance and future readiness.

Qualifications For The Role

• 5+ years in power system design, preferably DC systems.
• Strong knowledge of DC protection principles and emerging standards (IEC, IEEE).
• Electrical system design/engineering expertise in DC distribution.
• Master’s in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Electrical system simulation expertise (MATLAB/Simulink, PSCAD, ETAP).
• Good knowledge of power electronics, including topologies, basics of semiconductor switching and converter protection.
• Ability to lead technical discussions with customers and internal teams to align on requirements and solutions.
