Electrical Engineer (m/f/d)
Munich, Bavaria, Germany
About the role
The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the practical implementation, integration, and optimization of electrical systems for industrial machines, robotic cells, and automation equipment.
This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong connection to the shop floor, production, commissioning, and industrialization, not a purely R&D or office-based design position. The focus is on safe, compliant, and manufacturable electrical solutions, ensuring robust industrial execution in accordance with machine safety standards and electrical regulations such as EN 60204 and VDE 0100.
