Senior Electrical Expert - EV Charging Systems (m/f/d)

About the Role

As our Electrical Expert, you will own the design maturity of our next-generation EV charging reference design. Your work forms the backbone of how EcoG customers bring reliable, scalable, and serviceable charging systems to market. This role sits at the intersection of engineering excellence, manufacturability, and customer value creation.

You will lead the mechanical and electrical aspects of the reference design across the full product lifecycle. Your focus: functional accuracy, robustness, performance, and optimization for production (Design for Manufacturing/DFM) and field service (Design for Service/DFS). You will collaborate closely with product, electronics, software, and customer teams.

What you can expect

• Lead the mechanical and electrical design of EV charging systems, with strong ownership of DFM and DFS

• Develop robust, reliable, and cost-efficient designs aligned with IEC 61851-23, UL 2231-1/-2 and comparable standards

• Drive design reviews, structured risk assessments, and FMEAs to identify and mitigate potential issues

• Create and maintain detailed 2D/3D CAD models, schematics, BOMs, and technical documentation

• Partner with EcoG customers to support design integration, manufacturing readiness, and a smooth prototype-to-production transition

• Collaborate with customer field service teams to integrate real-world feedback into design improvements that reduce maintenance time and improve serviceability

• Keep current with industry developments, materials, and best practices across EV charging and power electronics

About You

• 7+ years of experience in electrical or mechanical engineering, with clear exposure to product design and development

• Demonstrated mastery of DFM and DFS. You bring concrete examples of optimizing products for mass production and field maintenance

• Strong experience in control power distribution, wire and circuit protection sizing, etc.

• Strong experience in busbar sizing, routing, circuit protection, short circuit considerations for three-phase 400Vac/480Vac and 100-1000 Vdc systems

• Ability to create schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, bills of material, etc. 

• Familiar with industrial electrical codes ensuring designs meet industry safety and regulatory standards; IEC/UL/NEC for applicable regions

• Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, validation, and iterative refinement of electromechanical systems

• Knowledge of manufacturing and assembly processes, both automated and traditional

• Skilled in CAD design, technical documentation, and structured analysis (FMEA, tolerance analysis, etc.)

• Prior experience in EV charging, power electronics, or comparable industries is highly preferred

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field

And beyond your expertise, this is how you work:

• You think in systems and understand the downstream impact of design choices on manufacturing, cost, and serviceability

• You communicate clearly and collaborate well across functions, from electronics and software to product, manufacturing, and customer teams

• You enjoy solving complex engineering problems with both hands-on work and structured thinking

• You bring a pragmatic mindset: build early, test often, learn fast

• You can move between precision and speed, depending on the stage of the design

• You take ownership and deliver reliably, even in a fast-moving environment

Why us?

• Shape a reference design that will influence the next generation of global EV charging products

• Work at the intersection of hardware engineering, customer impact, and design maturity

• Collaborate with an international team of highly skilled engineers

• Build products used by customers around the world

• Drive innovation in a growing industry with real relevance for sustainability and energy transition

• Join a company where you can see your impact: “I built this” is something you will say often
