Power Design Engineer

Purpose of the job:

The Power Design Engineer defines the power schemes and designs electrical components for traction drives or auxiliary converter systems.

Position in the organization:

The Power Design Engineer reports hierarchically to the Traction System Manager, and functionally to the Traction or Auxiliary Project Engineering Manager (PrEM).

He is strongly linked to others Power Design Engineers. In order to use and deploy the same development methods and ensure synergies, coordination and maximum carry-over between traction drives or auxiliary converter systems, the Power Design Engineer shall follow instructions given by the Power Skill Leader.

Under supervision of the PrEM, the Power Design Engineer shall carry out his mission in a tender, project, product or R&D team. He/She is in contact with other technical domains (mechanical design, control-command, validation, RAMS), and with Sourcing and Quality departments.
