Senior R&D Electrical Engineer

Job Description

The Organization:

Vanderlande is a market-leading, global partner for future-proof logistic process automation in the warehousing, airports, and parcel sectors. Our extensive portfolio of integrated solutions – innovative systems, intelligent software, and life-cycle services – results in the realization of fast, reliable, and eficient automation technology.

The products and processes developed by the R&D group include Shoe Sorters, Cross-Belt Sorters, Pop-up Transfer Sorters, Tilt-Tray Sorters, Bomb-bay Sorters, various types of Belt Conveyor, Individual Carrier Systems (ICS), AGVs/AMRs, Robotics, Custom Software, and more.

The Role:

The Senior R&D Electrical Engineer is part of a multidisciplinary team who are responsible for developing and refining products and processes for use in the automated logistics industry. The R&D Electrical Engineer is largely focused on industrial electrical design but is also engaged in aspects of machine control and electromechanical design.

• Defining design parameters for the application of standard products by project teams
• Being well versed in applicable standards such as UL and NEC
• Developing and maintaining standard methods for performing engineering calculations
• Setting process and design standards in place for use by project teams
• Helping develop automation for repetitive CAD and design processes
• Executing or coordinating physical testing of equipment

Success:

Success in this role will require adopting and embracing an agile mindset: acknowledging the need for learning, experimentation, and continuous improvement, embracing emerging challenges and viewing failure as a learning opportunity, a preoccupation with innovating and delivering steadily more customer value, getting work done in small self-organizing teams, and collaborating in an interactive network.
