Simulation Engineer for High Voltage Systems | 100%

Our client is a specialised Swiss company in high-voltage power transmission, making everything from composite hollow-core insulators to insulating components for switchgear and transformers. In this role, you’ll be the go-to person for electrical and thermal calculations. You’ll run FEM simulations to analyse electric fields in AC components up to 550 kV, following IEC and IEEE standards, and assess how parts behave thermally under real operating conditions.

Based on your results, you’ll help improve existing designs and gradually build a validated reference basis (Fact Book) for the development team. You’ll document your findings in clear reports with practical recommendations, working closely with development, design engineering, the test field and production.
