Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your technical and problem-solving expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside innovative and collaborative teammates.

You'll play a key role in shaping the future of sustainable mobility by ensuring the efficient and reliable design of power supply systems. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (System Engineering, Installation, and Testing & Commissioning teams), manage technical interfaces with stakeholders, and support the development of power supply solutions that meet global standards and customer requirements.

You’ll specifically take care of designing high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage (LV) electrical systems and ensuring the integration of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS) requirements, but also support installation teams and oversee factory acceptance tests (FAT) when required.

We’ll look to you for:

• Technical interface management with internal and external stakeholders

• Technical management of suppliers and subcontractors

• Ensuring on-time submission of Power Supply (POS) design documents

• Providing support on POS topics to System Engineering and Installation teams

• Developing and allocating requirements in collaboration with relevant specialists

• Ensuring compliance with normative references and local standards

• Defining global POS system architecture and ensuring consistency between subsystems

• Conducting transversal studies related to POS (e.g., earthing & bonding)

• Preparing and reviewing design deliverables, including technical criteria for components

• Coordinating with off-shore design teams

• Participating in design reviews and the DFQ process

• Providing technical support during Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) if required

• Elaborating, reviewing, and updating Bill of Quantities (BOQ)
