Job description

As the Electrical Engineer, you are part of the team designing the new Anti-Submarine Warfare Frigates (ASWF), built in close cooperation with the Royal Netherlands Navy and international partners. You ensure that these advanced naval vessels are equipped with reliable, safe, and regulation-compliant electrical systems. Your work includes designing power distribution networks, defining load balances, and integrating high-end systems with strict EMC and redundancy requirements all to keep the ship operational in the most demanding conditions.

Key accountabilities

• Develop functional descriptions, drawings, and other basic engineering documents for power distribution, lighting, and other electrical systems specific to the ASWF frigates.
• Develop and maintain specification documents for all electrical components and installation processes, ensuring compliance with military and classification society standards.
• Write detailed test and validation plans to guarantee compliance with Class regulations and project-specific requirements during virtual testing (simulations) and physical tests (FAT, HAT, SAT).
• Manage and coordinate vendors and subcontractors to ensure timely and high-quality contributions aligned with ASWF project goals.
• Review vendor and subcontractor designs and integrate their deliverables seamlessly into the ship’s electrical architecture.
• Develop and update standards and working methods for detailed electrical engineering and commissioning within the ASWF framework.
• Support proposal phases by developing conceptual electrical designs and providing technical input.
• Provide technical support and participate in commissioning activities for projects under contract.

Skills & experience

• 3+ years of experience designing complex electrical systems, including large power distribution networks, preferably in maritime, offshore, or defence-related projects.
• Proven track record working on complex multidisciplinary projects with multiple suppliers and subcontractors.
• Experience in model-based system engineering (MBSE) environments using the V-model.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Experience designing EMC-compliant electrical systems; knowledge of TEMPEST or similar military standards is a strong plus.
• Excellent references; security screening is mandatory due to project confidentiality.
• Permanent EU citizenship and passport are required, in line with the military nature of the ASWF project. Candidates holding EU work visas or dual nationalities (EU/non-EU) are not eligible.

• €3700-€5000 and 8% holiday pay.
• 27 holidays and 13 ADV days.
• Travel allowance of 23 cents per kilometre.
• PME-pension arrangement with an employer contribution of 60%.
• Profit sharing based on company results.
