- Develop electrical architectures that support reliable, efficient, and safe plant operation.
- Ensure compliance with applicable international standards, regulations, and engineering best practices.

**Develop Instrumentation & Control Systems**

- Specify instrumentation including temperature, pressure, flow, and level measurement devices.
- Collaborate with Controls Engineering teams to define automation concepts, control philosophies, and system interfaces.
- Develop instrumentation and control (I&C) architectures for molten-salt solar thermal systems.
- Support the development of tracking algorithms, automation solutions, and electrical control strategies.

**Engineering & Supplier Collaboration**

- Select and specify electrical drive systems for solar collector tracking.
- Prepare technical specifications and tender documentation.
- Evaluate supplier solutions and support technical decision-making.
- Collaborate with engineering partners, control system providers, and equipment vendors throughout the project lifecycle.
- Manage technical interfaces and support successful project execution.

**Support Project Delivery**

- Support prototype development, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
- Work collaboratively across disciplines to resolve technical challenges.
- Contribute to the development and improvement of electrical design standards and engineering processes.
- Provide technical expertise throughout all project phases, from concept development through commissioning.

**Who You Are**

You enjoy solving complex engineering challenges and designing reliable systems for demanding industrial environments. You combine strong technical expertise with a practical, solution-oriented mindset and have experience managing external partners and vendors. You thrive in multidisciplinary teams, communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and balance attention to detail with system-level thinking. Curious, collaborative, and eager to learn, you enjoy helping build engineering processes in a growing technology company while working both independently and as part of a team.

**Ideally, you'll bring**

- Master's degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- Several years of experience designing electrical systems for industrial plants, renewable energy projects, power generation facilities, or process industries.
- Strong experience in electrical engineering, instrumentation, and control system design.
- Experience designing or specifying electrical heat tracing (EHT) systems and associated electrical infrastructure.
- Solid understanding of electrical power distribution and component selection.
- Experience with electrical drives, motors, and motion systems.
- Knowledge of industrial instrumentation, including temperature, pressure, flow, and level measurement technologies.
- Experience with process wiring, cable design, and electrical documentation.
- Understanding of low-voltage protection concepts and electrical safety principles.
- Experience creating technical documentation such as P&IDs, loop diagrams, and equipment specifications.
- Familiarity with international engineering standards such as IEC and VDE; knowledge of NEC is beneficial.
- Experience with PLC programming, industrial automation, or control software would be an advantage.
- Interest in microprocessor-based systems and edge controllers.
- Experience working with suppliers, contractors, or external engineering partners.
- Strong communication skills in English; German language skills are welcome but not required.
