Senior Expert (f/m/d) for Medium Voltage Switchgear and Switching Physics (Engineer - Electrical Engineering)

In this role, you will develop and optimize medium voltage switchgear and make a decisive contribution to the further development of innovative technologies such as SF6-free switchgear. Through your technical expertise and creative thinking, you will formulate sustainable solutions for the energy transition.

What we offer you:

• Attractive compensation package
• Further training opportunities for both your professional and personal development
• 30 days of vacation as well as diverse, flexible working time models that allow time off for you and your family
• Access to employee stock plans

Since each of our 300,000 employees finds different benefits particularly important and we cannot list our entire benefits portfolio here, you can find more information here (https://www.siemens.com/de/de/unternehmen/jobs/benefits-was-wir-bieten.html).

Individual benefits are subject to legal, collective agreement/contractual, or company conditions.

Change the world of tomorrow:

• You are responsible for complex development and testing tasks in the field of medium voltage switchgear, focusing on switching physics as well as arc formation and extinction.
• You undertake the technical planning and supervision of development and type tests in internal and external testing fields and ensure the necessary testing capacities through strategic concepts.
• You reliably apply the standards relevant to medium voltage switchgear, evaluate technical content, and derive design measures to optimize electrotechnical properties – without performing the actual design/construction yourself.
• You drive the integration of sustainable technologies, particularly the substitution of SF6 with alternative insulating and extinguishing gases.
• You act as a technical sparring partner in our global network and actively represent the company in standardization committees.
• You build up expert knowledge, further develop professional networks, and specifically promote the next generation of switchgear experts.
• You represent Siemens through technical articles and presentations at conferences and in the university environment.

How you convince us:

• Education: Completed Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, Physics, or a comparable course of study.
• Experience and knowledge:
• Many years of professional experience in the development of medium voltage switchgear and a deep understanding of switching processes and their physical principles.
• Sound knowledge of vacuum and gas switching technologies (power, load, and load break switches) as well as in the design of switchgear-fuse combinations (HH fuses).
• In-depth experience in the application and design of the standards relevant to medium voltage switchgear.
• Confident handling of future-oriented, SF6-free technologies and their physical challenges.
• Experience in collaborating with external testing institutes and the technical leadership of interdisciplinary expert networks.
• Working style: Analytical excellence, the ability to independently evaluate complex issues, and high communication skills for committee and network work.
• Language skills: Fluent English skills. German skills are welcome; we will actively support you in acquiring or deepening them if needed.

You are much more than your qualifications and we believe in the potential of every single person. We look forward to getting to know you!
