Responsibilities

• As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you play a crucial role in designing and delivering cutting-edge naval vessels.
• You ensure that power systems and wiring configurations are optimized for performance, reliability, and compliance with strict maritime regulations.
• From calculating load balance and developing power distribution networks to determining optimal cable routing, your expertise ensures that all systems remain operational under the most demanding conditions.
• Depending on the vessel’s configuration, your electrical design will also incorporate EMC-compliant power distribution for strategic defensive and deterrent systems.
• Working within the V-model and using our 3DExperience engineering environment, you collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams.
• Throughout the design and production phases, your basic and detailed designs will be rigorously reviewed, tested, and validated to meet the highest standards.
• Ultimately, your work contributes to the successful launch of a new naval vessel, ready to defend our freedom across the world!
