Electrical Engineer - Naval Projects
Southwest Netherlands
Design the power behind Europe's most advanced naval ships.
Our client, a leading Dutch shipbuilder in the defence sector, is looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to join a multidisciplinary team working on state-of-the-art naval vessels. From high-capacity power distribution to electromagnetic compliance, you'll engineer the systems that keep critical operations running - even under extreme conditions.
What you'll do
As Electrical Engineer, you'll be responsible for designing safe, efficient, and compliant electrical systems from concept to commissioning. You'll work within a model-based systems engineering environment and collaborate across disciplines to deliver real-world, combat-ready performance.
Key responsibilities:
- Develop system designs for power distribution, lighting, and auxiliary systems, ensuring class compliance and customer requirements.
- Create and maintain functional descriptions, drawings, and specification documents.
- Calculate load balances and design EMC-compliant solutions (TEMPEST experience is a plus).
- Define and execute test and validation plans for simulations (virtual testing) and real-world environments (FAT, HAT, SAT).
- Manage input from vendors and subcontractors, reviewing and integrating their designs into the vessel.
- Contribute to standardization and documentation of engineering methods.
- Support proposal phases with conceptual electrical designs and commissioning activities.
What you bring
We're looking for a hands-on engineer who thrives in complex environments and understands the critical role of electrical systems in mission-critical vessels.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience designing complex electrical systems (preferably in marine, offshore, or aerospace sectors).
- Strong background in high-power distribution, EMC compliance, and system reliability.
- Experience working in MBSE environments, following the V-model.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field.
- Experience working with multi-vendor, multidisciplinary projects.
- Fluent in English.
- Permanent EU citizenship and passport required due to project sensitivity.
- Able to pass pre-employment security screening.
