Sr Design Engineer

A:  SENIOR DESIGN ENGINNER FOR HIGH VOLTAGE ACCESSORIES DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Are you a self-driven and future-oriented Design Engineer with some years of experience familiar with modern design methods, in particular simulations? Do you want to be part of the world’s renewable energy transformation? Then we might have the right job for you! NKT is currently expanding our R&D team, and we are offering a unique opportunity.

Design and Develop for the future – you will be our key to success. We are searching for a colleague with some years of experience design work in the field of high voltage products. Practical experience in simulations (electrical field, mechanical) and the interpretation of the results in this area is mandatory.

We see worldwide activities to a fast transition in meeting the ambitious climate targets of enormous reduction of emissions by more than 50% and being fully climate neutral in the next decades. Electrification with renewable energy is paramount in meeting the targets and Energy company’s does therefore require advanced transmission systems such as power cable accessories for land cables, power from shore and offshore wind applications. We are therefore establishing a global acting power cable accessories R&D team with focus on leading projects for power cable accessories.
