Electrical Engineer

Are you a creative and experienced Electrical Engineer ready for the next step in your career? To stay ahead in our industry, Allseas develops a lot of our automated equipment in-house. As an Electrical Engineer at our office in Eindhoven, you will play a pivoting role in driving the design, development and implementation of cutting-edge electronics in our custom built machinery for inspection of subsea pipelines.

Allseas is a world-leading contractor in the offshore energy market, with dynamism, rapid progress and pioneering spirit at its core. We continuously develop new techniques and applications to stay ahead in an ever changing industry.

Your role

As an Electrical Engineer you will design the electronics of custom built equipment from scratch. Our equipment is built bespoke for our fleet, so we focus is on highly specialized one-offs instead of on high-volume series production. Together with a multidisciplinary team you will determine what the electronic system is supposed to achieve and define functional requirements, inputs, outputs and other interfaces. We like to approach this design challenge on a system level and focus attention where it matters, so our equipment is built using a mix of off-the-shelve industrial components combined with custom PCBs and wiring harnesses. Designing these PCBs (schematic and routing) and breaking down the system into logical components and interfaces will be part of your job. You are responsible for the component selection and the prototyping. Adjustment needed after testing and quality control will be implemented to the prototype followed by a testing programme together with our (offshore) end-users.

For this job you will need:

• Bachelor or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Mechatronics;
• Three to five years of proven experience in developing electronics;

Beneficial but not strictly required:

• Affinity with industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT, CAN(Open), PROFINET and ModBus;
• A basic understanding of embedded / industrial software development;
• A basic understanding of motor / servo control.

Besides the above mentioned requirements, you recognise yourself in the following characteristics.

You enjoy starting from scratch and have plenty ideas how to solve a task or problem.

Your good communication skills will help you to defend and explain the choices you made to everybody involved.
