Job description

Overview

Wind helped us discover our planet, and now it can help us preserve it. Our vision is to provide wings for a shipping revolution, and we have two strong mother companies to back us up: Alfa Laval and Wallenius. AlfaWall Oceanbird AB is a 50/50 joint venture, owned by Alfa Laval and Wallenius but operated as an independent company. We are developing wing sail technology for the global shipping market and are now looking for an Electrical engineer to join our team based in Flemingsberg, Stockholm.

The Oceanbird wingsail is powered by electricity, with a hydraulic system that uses electric machines to generate pressures and flows to control the wing’s motions. The advanced control system consists of three interconnected PLC systems that communicate with many kinds of sensors, valves and other electrical devices. The project is in an interesting phase where we have just started testing our first full-scale prototype at our outdoor test site in Landskrona.

What will you do

• Electrical system (architecture) design based on the functionality requirements of the wing.
• Electrical design of PLC control cabinets and interconnecting cabling (E-plan).
• Power supply design and testing (400V, 230V and 24V).
• Design/selection of cables, connectors and cable routing on the wing sail.
• Selection and evaluation of electrical components such as electrical motors, variable frequency drives, sensors of different types, proportional valve drivers, PLC IO cards etc.
• Design according to DNV standards and be part of the DNV certification process.
• Active participation in automation system testing and verification (focusing on electrical/electronic parts), analyze results and implement redesigns if necessary.
• Develop documentation and instructions needed for production and take an active part in electrical installation activities at our production site and on ships.
• If applicable, contribute to designing/specifying software functionality related to the electrical system (e.g., power management, monitoring functions, start-up and shutdown functions).
• Develop low-level software to test and evaluate electrical devices such as sensors.
• Develop novel sensing concepts to sense wind inflow on the wing for better trimming and performance.
• Electrical system risk analysis (e.g., FMEA).
• EMC/ESD certification.
• Practical laboratory and installation work.

Who are you

To succeed in this role, you should have:

• At least a bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechatronics engineering or equivalent.
• You are self-going and self-motivated.
• Broad technical knowledge within electrical engineering, with an ability to understand outside the electrical domain as a merit.
• Strong team player who thrives working with others to reach a common goal and contribute to sustainable shipping.
• Experience with electrical scheme design tools, preferably Eplan.
• English required; Swedish is an asset.

In addition, it is beneficial to have experience in one or several of the following:

• Experience in cross-functional collaboration with control-system, hydraulic and mechanical engineers to ensure complete system performance.
• Experience in the marine industry under DNV requirements is beneficial.
• Track record of designing electrical systems in marine, automotive or industrial products.

Regular travel to our test site in Landskrona is expected. This role is located in Flemingsberg, Stockholm.
