Automation and Electrical Systems Engineer – Renens VD | JobRevolt

Über den Job

Windworks develops actively controlled vertical-axis wind turbines for clean, local and affordable energy production. You will participate in the definition, integration and validation of the turbine's electrical architecture, contributing directly to a technology that must perform reliably in harsh conditions. You will collaborate with a small multidisciplinary team, iterating rapidly to bring a new generation of wind turbines to market.

Aufgaben

Design, prototype, and validate the overall electrical system comprising sensors, motors, generators, drivers, AC/AC and AC/DC converters, inverters, rectifiers
Implement grounding / earth connection
Implement surge / lightning protection
Implement PLC-based automation (Beckhoff, Siemens etc.) and EtherCAT architectures
Integrate sensors and actuators via CAN, Modbus, EtherCAT, etc.
Develop telemetry, data acquisition, and remote monitoring
Dimension and select motors for blade actuation and auxiliary systems based on torque, speed, duty cycle, environmental constraints and lifetime
Define drive architecture and requirements of power stage
Implement and validate motor control strategies (position, speed, torque control)
Ensure compatibility with mechanical loads, power electronics, and safety constraints
Implement electrical safety systems
Ensure compliance with International Electrotechnical Commission standards (IEC 61400)
Ensure compliance with CE requirements
Produce structured technical documentation
Manage grid connection, anti-islanding, synchronization, relays, and protection
Size HV/MV cables and design electrical cabinets
Dimension and select the generator technology based on power rating, speed range, efficiency, and grid requirements
Define electrical interface and integration with rectifier/inverter stages
Implement and validate generator-side control strategies (MPPT, torque control, speed regulation, power optimization)

Profil

About 5 years of experience in electrical engineering, power electronics or industrial automation
Comfortable working autonomously in a small engineering team
Team player
Experience working on systems exposed to real-world constraints (noise, EMC, environmental conditions, reliability, safety)
Comfortable managing engineering partners and technical procurement activities, including identifying and selecting suppliers, defining technical specifications, reviewing datasheets and validation documents, coordinating technical exchanges, and supporting supplier qualification
Ability to produce structured technical documentation
Ability to elaborate systematic testing and verification
Experience with outdoor equipment, industrial machinery or safety-critical systems (nice to have)
Experience with energy systems (wind power, hydro power, etc.) (nice to have)
PCB Design (schematic and layout, bring-up and EMC considerations) (nice to have)
Firmware Development (drivers, communication protocols) (nice to have)

Benefits

High level of ownership and impact
Opportunity to shape key parts of the system architecture
See work move quickly from concept to testing and deployment
