Electrical Engineer – Heat Pumps (f/m/div.)

Your contribution to something big:

As our Electrical Engineer, you will join our growing R&D product development team in Aveiro. Working in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment, you will be responsible for the electrical integration of components within domestic heat pump outdoor units- owning the entire process from 3D cable harness routing and 2D schematic creation to physical safety validation and successful series production ramp-up:

• Define and design electrical CAD architectures and robust cable layouts up to 400VAC, ensuring strict compliance with electrical safety, EMC, and Low Voltage Directives (LVD).
• Develop complete electrical harnesses, managing their 3D routing and integration into complex electromechanical appliance assemblies.
• Create and maintain accurate 3D CAD models, generating high-quality technical documentation, 2D production drawings, and electrical BOM.
• Specify electrical component characteristics (including connectors, fuses, relays, and wires) according to legal, safety, functional, and target-cost requirements.
• Plan, execute, and document electrical test procedures (such as functional, durability, and extreme environmental tests) in laboratory environments.
• Coordinate product certification activities with third-party testing institutes to secure official EMC and CE compliance releases.
• Support the production shop floor during initial manufacturing trial runs and mass production ramp-up phases.

What distinguishes you: 

Education

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Physics Engineering, or a related technical discipline

Experience and Know-how

• Electrical Design: Proven experience in the specification, design, integration, and testing of electrical hardware components and wiring systems for industrial or consumer appliances.
• Cable Harness Routing: Hands-on experience in 3D CAD routing and the development of electrical cable harnesses (ideally using Siemens NX Electrical Routing or other professional 3D CAD environments).
• Electrical Safety & Norms: Solid understanding of electrical safety, EMC principles, and Low Voltage Directive requirements for products operating up to 400VAC.
• Standards and Compliance: Familiarity with international standards applicable to household appliances and heat pumps (such as IEC 60335, EN 378, or CISPR 14).
• EMC Segregation: Knowledge of physical separation rules between high-voltage power lines and low-voltage signal/sensor/BUS communication lines.
• Testing & Diagnostics: Experience with electrical laboratory measurement techniques, oscilloscopes, multicoders, and troubleshooting electromechanical systems.

Languages

• Fluency in English (both written and spoken) is required.

Working Style and Methods

• A results-oriented, proactive, and highly structured working style with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to take full ownership of your assigned deliverables and find solutions independently.
• Willingness to travel occasionally.

Personality

• An empathetic, collaborative team player who communicates effectively across technical and multicultural environments.
