Senior Electrician - vEFK

Your role and your team:

In the Systems Testing department, we are hosting various faculties to facilitate component, system and aircraft level tests for research, development and certification. We’re covering the technology areas: Propulsion, Batteries, Structures, Environmental Tests and Hardware in the Loop (HIL). Our department is set up in three divisions: Testing, Test Management and Test Operations.

You are reporting to the Team Leader of the Test Operations team. Your scope of work compromises all phases of the design, assembly and commissioning of switchgear for mechanical and low voltage test rigs up to 1 kV (AC & DC) as well as its operation and maintenance. In your role you work in close collaboration with your qualified colleagues in the Test Operation team as well as with other colleagues from the Testing division. You ensure that electrical test setups meet the required quality standard for safe electrical installations.
