ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

Join an innovative renewable energy technology leaderBe part of bringing a new clean energy technology to marketWork together with a multi-disciplinary teamContribute to leading wave energy development with EuropeWave program ************************* Applications in English only *************************Carnegie Technologies Spain (CTS) is the Spanish subsidiary of Australian based Carnegie Clean Energy, a renewable energy technology company focused on developing its world leading patented CETO wave energy technology. The global potential for marine renewable energy is enormous and Carnegie is well positioned to capitalise upon this. Carnegie has recently been awarded a contract to deliver Phase 3 of the €20m EuropeWave Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) Programme, a competitive programme to advance wave energy. Under this framework, Carnegie is accelerating the development of its CETO technology toward commercialisation with its ACHIEVE programme. Carnegie is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join the technical team and work closely with other engineers across a broad range of disciplines in executing the technology development plan. Reporting to Carnegie’s Chief Technology Officer, this position will be responsible for providing technical expertise and knowhow to the simulation, sizing, specification, procurement, and operation of the electrical and control system used in CETO power take-off and power export systems. This includes the power electronics components such as motor drive, battery, resistor, line modules, electrical connectors, transformers, and dynamic export cable. In-depth knowledge of relevant power transmission engineering principles will be required, alongside a thorough understanding of the associated rotating electrical drivetrains, integration of such components into an overall power generation system and the strategies to control these components.  The Position:Deliver electrical engineering expertise for the design and specification of rotating electrical machines, associated power electronics and power transmission components.Develop computer models and undertake simulations to evaluate the behaviour and performance of the electrical system stand-alone, and integrated with overall system models.Undertake design, analysis and development activities of components within the CETO technology where required.Manage selected suppliers in relation to the specification and procurement of equipment that meets the performance requirements, schedule and budget.Support the management of the control system supplier.Represent Carnegie at various European forums and promote the ACHIEVE programmeContribute to written project reports and other deliverablesPosition primarily based in Bilbao (Spain) with regular travel to visit stakeholders across Europe. The Candidate will possess the following:A positive and collaborative approach to problem solving in a team environmentA demonstrable capacity to deliver the items listed in ‘The Position’ section aboveMaster of Engineering or higher in Electrical Engineering. B.Eng plus relevant industrial experience will be considered5+ years’ experience in electrical engineering in power generation in the 100kW to MW range The following would be well regarded:Experience in wave energy, offshore wind or tidal industry, especially around electrical systemsExperience in wider electrical generation system design (i.e. grid connection systems)Experience with control systems specification and designExperience with large scale rotating electrical machines in other industriesBackground in heavy-duty mechanical engineering for rotating equipment The Company offers:The chance to work in a rewarding company and be part of developing and demonstrating a world class and world first renewable energy technologyDynamic and enthusiastic team cultureA remuneration package in line with relevant experience and skills Application ProcessOnly shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
