Design Engineer ( Medium Voltage Switchgear)

Design engineer (f/m/x) - MV switchgear

nuventura has developed a new generation of medium voltage switchgear that is highly innovative and environmentally sustainable. The existing product line is in the process of being expanded into new development projects as well as a global application-scaling of existing designs. For this expansion we are looking for experienced and enthusiastic design engineers in the medium voltage electrical equipment sector to work interdisciplinary within the development teams and with partners of nuventura.

As a design engineer your role will be the concept development and industrialization of new product lines based on our technologies and customer requirements. You will work in an international team, communicate with suppliers, manufacturing partners and business developers to define the future path for our products so that they meet technical as well as commercial requirements. To support the development process, you will work within small teams of dedicated designers, bringing your mechanical engineering experience to the table. Your work will have a high impact on our innovative technology development.

High quality standards and good communication and planning skills make you perfect fit, while your knowledge of manufacturing processes and technical standards allows for constant improvement and future-proving of our products. You understand technical requirements and are passionate about solving technical challenges. Good work ethics and flexibility make you a welcome addition to our team. An interest in environmental topics and the sustainability of our electrical grid are a must.

Your role and responsibilities:

You will be involved in

New product development design

conceptualization, detail Design (3D Modelling, Drafting, BOM creation, Quality test protocols, Tolerance analysis, GD&T), Creating design data in ERP system.

Hands on Prototype building and its in-house mechanical and electrical functionality testing according to standards and Verification and Validation plans.

Prepare Assembly drawings and Work instructions of sub-assemblies and assemblies.

Failure mode analysis of newly released design feature and its documentation.

Continual improvement of the design by analyzing the cause and effects of the problem

Dynamics and kinematics of Complex mechanical systems

External Type testing

Hands on - To be able to build the complex mechanical assemblies and understand its function and involve in the actual root cause analysis of the problem.

You will prepare the technical documentation of the product which includes engineering CAD data, design specifications, bill of material, quality specifications, assembly instructions as mentioned above along with cost calculations, supplier selection and issue management.

Understand technical and commercial requirements for new products and translate them into design development specifications. Apply your knowledge of industry standards and manufacturing processes to conceptualize.

Develop mechanical and electrical components, providing designs, documentation, and manufacturing requirements to suppliers.

Take responsibility for quality control, testing and lifecycle management of components and assemblies within our facilities, at suppliers or on-site with customers.

Communicate and plan development timelines as a member of a small, specialized team with flat hierarchies.

Transfer knowledge, documentation, and best practices to the Production team upon successful completion of product type testing to ensure a smooth transition into manufacturing and provide continuous support for the project related topics and attend all kinds of product issues whether at production or at on-site.
