- You have knowledge of:
-
- Electrical conversion systems that make the connection between battery systems (DC), fuel cell systems (DC), electrolyser systems (DC) and the AC grid. Typical working areas of the zero-emission Powerbox system are: up to 100kW, up to 800VDC/ /400VAC electrical power.
- Mechanical components and piping
- Cooling and heat recovery systems
- An interest in, or experience with, energy systems is a plus
- You have knowledge of EMS/PLC/E-CAD systems
- Knowledge of CFD packages (computational fluid dynamics), evacuation packages (such as Pathfinder) and zone models (such as Ozone) is a plus
- Knowledge of rectifiers, transformers, capacitors, battery systems, grid connections, bus-bar designs, etc. is a plus
- You take initiatives and work purposefully towards results
- You have knowledge about mechanical analysis, heat analysis, power management (high power controls) & flow analysis
- You have leadership qualities and a “can do” mentality
- You are hands-on and can function both independently and in a team
Offer:
- A pleasant and dynamic working atmosphere in an innovative SME
- A competitive salary according to your background and experience
- A solid education, the necessary technical support and career opportunities
