Senior Design Engineer R&D
Are you a self-driven and future-oriented Design Engineer with experience from R&D and are familiar with modern design methods, in particular simulations? Do you want to play an important and leading role towards the world’s renewable energy transformation? Then we might have the job for you! NKT is currently expanding our R&D team and we’re offering a unique opportunity for you to be a part of this journey together with us for a sustainable future.
We see worldwide activities to a fast transition in meeting the ambitious climate targets of enormous reduction of emissions, by more than 50% being fully climate neutral in the next decades. Electrification with renewable energy especially is paramount in meeting the targets. Energy companies does therefore require advanced transmission systems such as power cable accessories for land cables, power from shore and offshore wind applications. That’s why we are establishing a global acting R&D team that will focus on leading projects for power cable accessories.

The Role
Design and Develop – you will be the key to success. We are looking for a colleague with some years of broad experience in design work in the field of high voltage products who are familiar with different design methodologies like FMEA, Design To Value and Should Cost. You should also have high level of simulations skills within the dielectric/thermal/mechanical/seismic field, as well as product knowledge in terminology and accessories. Practical experience in the electrical or mechanical simulations field, but also the interpretation of data and results in this area, is mandatory to cope with this role.

The main Responsibilities for this role includes:
* To participate in R&D projects of high voltage cable accessories and utilize design CAD software in order to improve proposed designs
* Performing electrical and mechanical simulations and analysis using modern tools
* Work in close contact with simulations engineers and discuss the results from electrical field simulations in software like COMSOL
* Collaborate close contact with simulation engineers and other specialists within NKT
* Work on Solid Works, Creo and similar design software along with NKT:s PLM system
