General objective of the role

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to contribute to the design, development, and integration of electrical systems and cables used in agricultural machinery. This is a hands-on technical role focused on engineering execution, problem-solving, prototype assembly and technical expertise.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop low-voltage electrical systems (12V/24V), including lighting, safety, and operator interface systems.
• Design and integrate electrical cabinets, customized cables, and wiring harnesses with relevant connectors.
• Integrate proprietary and standardized technological subsystems.
• Support development, integration, and troubleshooting of ECU (Electronic Control Unit) software.
• Collaborate with mechanical and software teams on controller and embedded system integration.
• Design solutions suitable for harsh agricultural environments (dust, moisture, vibration, corrosion).
• Ensure electrical robustness, EMC performance, and serviceability.
• Incorporate customer, operator, and service feedback into design improvements.
• Contribute to electrical system architecture, interfaces, and design standards.
• Participate in design reviews, DFx, DFMEA, and technical risk assessments.
• Prepare and review electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, specifications, test plans, and BOM.
• Apply best practices in electrical design, documentation, and compliance.
• Support continuous improvement of engineering tools, standards, and processes.
• Support prototype build, testing, validation, and field trials.
• Ensure designs meet performance, durability, safety, and regulatory requirements (CE, UL, ingress standards / IPx, …).
• Troubleshoot electrical issues during development, industrialization, and validation tests.

Qualifications 

• Bachelor or master degree in electrical engineering, electronics Engineering, or related discipline.
