About the Role

We are looking for a proactive and technically skilled Product Development Engineer to join our Submarine R&D team with a specialized focus on the Flexible Factory Joint (FFJ), a key accessory that connects sections of high‑voltage submarine cables.

You will be responsible for developing and industrializing new solutions aimed at adding new value propositions to submarine cable systems, with a particular focus on meeting the increasing demands of higher voltage ratings and deeper sea installations. All activities will be carried out in close coordination with other R&D functions (such as materials and testing) and will require a broad technical perspective (encompassing design, materials, process development and validation) and a hands‑on approach.

The role involves collaboration across multiple departments as well as frequent interactions with external suppliers and Prysmian production sites across different countries.

Main Responsibilities

• Design, develop and optimize flexible joint solutions for submarine cable systems.
• Lead the transfer of prototypes and new technologies into manufacturing environments.
• Coordinate technical development activities with materials R&D, testing labs, engineering and production teams.
• Prepare and follow up on test plans, analyze results and draw conclusions to guide next development steps.
• Document technical work clearly and contribute to formal reports and project deliverables.
• Drive and support innovation initiatives, proposing new ideas and suggesting practical improvements.
• Monitor project status, identify potential risks and contribute to mitigation strategies.
• Interface with external suppliers and partners to align specifications and ensure technical feasibility.
• Travel frequently to domestic and international production sites to support prototyping and industrialization phases.

Candidate Profile

• Educational Background: Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
• Professional Experience: Ideally 2 years in R&D or industrial manufacturing, preferably in sectors dealing with plastics, metals or processing technologies. Technical Skills: Solid understanding of the mechanical and thermal behavior of materials and knowledge of electrical phenomena and their impact on materials, including thermal dielectric and mechanical stresses.
• Tools & Methods: Proficiency with CAD software and experience in preparing technical documentation.
• Soft Skills: Ability to work in cross‑functional teams and with operators while also managing tasks independently. Strong problem‑solving skills, clear communication and a collaborative mindset.
• Languages: Fluent in English and Italian, both written and spoken.
• Mobility: Willingness to travel internationally on a regular basis.
