About the Role
As a Senior Cabinet Engineer you will be the primary technical authority for the design engineering and optimization of low-voltage switch gears and industrial control cabinets. Drawing on your extensive experience in the German market you will oversee the entire hardware engineering lifecycle - from initial concept and schematic design to prototype testing and serial production release. You will also play a key role in mentoring junior engineers and shaping our internal design standards.
What you can expect
Electrical Design & Engineering:Lead the complex design and layout of control cabinets and switch gears
Schematic Creation:Develop detailed electrical schematics wiring diagrams terminal plans and Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Regulatory Compliance:Ensure all designs strictly adhere to relevant German and European standards specificallyDIN EN 61439VDE 0113 / EN 60204-1 andVDE 0100
Component Selection:Specify and source electrical components electromechanical parts and safety systems negotiating technical requirements with suppliers
Thermal & Short-Circuit Management:Perform necessary calculations for thermal management (e.g. Rittal Therm) short-circuit constraints and power dissipation
Cross-Functional Leadership:Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering software development and assembly teams to ensure seamless integration and manufacturability
Mentorship:Guide and support junior hardware engineers conducting design reviews and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
About You
Required:Education:Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Automation Technology or a certified state technician (Staatlich geprüfter Techniker) / Master Craftsman (Elektromeister) with equivalent experience
Experience:10 yearsof hands-on experience in control cabinet engineering and electrical hardware design with a proven track record specifically within the German market
Software Mastery:Expert-level proficiency in EPLAN Electric P8 (including EPLAN Pro Panel for 3D layout)
Norms & Standards:Deep applied knowledge of German and European electrical engineering standards (CE marking DIN VDE Machinery Directive)
Language Skills:Fluent German (C1/C2 level) for clear communication with local suppliers and production teams and professional proficiency in English
Preferred:
Experience with UL/CSA standards (UL 508A) for the North American export market
Familiarity with ERP and PLM/PDM systems (e.g. SAP Teamcenter) for BOM and lifecycle management
Background in agile engineering environments
