Job description

Help ensure the safety of the Netherlands and Europe as an engineer!

Electrical Engineer — Enschede Engineering Starter / junior

To guard against the threats of tomorrow, we have to start today. Demcon defense & security systems collaborates wit the Dutch ministry of defence on a number of themes: energy supply (electricity, heat, cooling) on large scale, such as for vehicles or bases, and on small (portable) scale; and autonomous systems, the development of technology for unmanned and (semi) autonomous systems.

About Demcon

Demcon develops and manufactures advanced technology and complex systems, from concept through to series production. Driven by the ambition to solve societal and technological challenges, we combine deep engineering expertise with creativity to create solutions that make a real impact. We build prototypes, industrialize innovations, and bring products into production, with a strong focus on mechatronics. By integrating mechanical, electrical, and software engineering with disciplines such as robotics, optics, and data science, we support our customers throughout the entire product lifecycle. The Demcon Group consists of more than 50 specialized companies, together forming a one-stop shop for high-tech innovation. With over 1,100 colleagues worldwide, we are building the technology of tomorrow.

What are you going to do?

As electrical engineer you provide complete solutions, comprising custom or commercially available hardware and (custom) interconnections. You take care of the design, implementation and verification of high-power electrical systems, such as may be used in new hybrid vehicles, or electrical power supply and cooling for high-energy lasers.

Examples of technology you will work with:

• power distribution in low-voltage systems;
• power electronics (inverters, battery packs);
• automation systems, PLCs (Beckhoff).

Your responsibilities may include:

• Discuss and define requirements and specifications with the customer;
• Making conceptual designs and realise the concepts of electrical systems, in a multidisciplinary context: there is close collaboration with other disciplines to arrive at an optimally and completely integrated system architecture;
• Transforming conceptual designs to complete schematics and TPD in E-PLAN;
• (Documentation of) the complete product design process: use cases, requirements, specifications, concept design, architecture, detailed design, electrical drawings, test plans, FAT and SAT;
• Support in building (sub) systems; assisting assembly thereof;
• Execute low-voltage safety tests; deliver required documentation.

You will work in a team with other experts in the fields of software, mechanics, thermal systems and system engineering. When needed, you will instruct other colleagues who work on design and realisation of the electrical (sub)systems.

What do you bring to the table?

Given the technologies used, experience with high voltage and power electronics is important, such as 400V or 800V EV-technology, power inverters, and modern battery technology. Furthermore:

• A college or university degree in electrical engineering or similar;
• Motivation to uphold your role in the team, and challenge the others to perform;
• Experience in selection, application and integration of components for power electronics;
• Familiar with EMC and EMI;
• Experience with design for standards (CE/UL) is an advantage.

What do we offer you?

At Demcon, you work on technology that truly matters. In an informal organization that values initiative and fosters collaboration with driven colleagues, you will contribute to solutions that make an impact today and tomorrow. We genuinely care about you as a person and actively promote job satisfaction and a healthy work-life balance.

In addition, you can look forward to:

• A salary between €42,840 and €68,616 per year (excluding holiday allowance), depending on your experience;
• 8% holiday allowance, with the choice to receive it as a lump sum in May or paid monthly with your salary;
• 25 vacation days and 6 ATV days based on a full-time employment contract, with the option to purchase additional leave days;
• A hybrid working arrangement, allowing up to 2 days of remote work per week (full-time basis), always in consultation with your manager;
• Training programs and courses through the Demcon Academy to support your personal and professional development;
• An attractive pension plan with Zwitserleven;
• A bicycle plan/lease bike scheme;
• A vitality program including sports clinics, fresh fruit, workshops, and workplace assessments;
• An active staff association, offering monthly social activities and the annual Demcon weekend.
