Electrical Engineer Design | Maritime Systems | Rotterdam

Rotterdam, Nederland

Job description

As an Electrical Engineer, you design, route, and integrate complex cabling systems on advanced vessels and substations. From sensors and power distribution to mission-critical weapon systems, you translate functional designs into physical cable routes that are safe, serviceable, and ready for production.

You will be balancing EMC requirements, separation rules, bending radii, and installation feasibility. You collaborate closely with Electrical, Outfitting, and Mechanical teams to deliver designs that shipyards and installation crews can trust.

What you’ll do:

• Engineer the details
  Design and document cable routes, cable lists, and interface definitions based on functional descriptions and system architecture.

• Design for compliance
  Ensure cabling meets EMC, fire safety, separation, shielding, and mechanical protection standards.

• Integrate across disciplines
  Align cable routing with physical space and construction constraints together with Electrical, Outfitting, and Mechanical teams.

• Standardize and improve
  Develop and maintain cabling standards, calculation templates, and design methodologies.

• Embed vendor inputs
  Review supplier documentation and integrate vendor cabling requirements into the ship design.

• Enable production
  Deliver detailed routing drawings, bills of materials, and clear installation guidelines for the shipyard.

Profile

What you bring:

• 3+ years in detailed cabling design and integration for complex electrical installations, preferably maritime, offshore, or aerospace.

• Hands-on with cable routing in 3D environments and CAD/PLM tools (e.g., 3DExperience, EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical).

• Comfortable with systems engineering and multidisciplinary project structures.

• BSc/MSc in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.

• Solid knowledge of EMC-compliant design, cable separation, and shielding best practices.

• Excellent references; security screening is part of the hiring process.

• EU citizenship required.
