Smart Engineers

(Senior) Electrical Design Engineer EPLAN P8 (m/f/d)

Here's what you can expect from this assignment

Do you enjoy working with EPLAN Electric P8 and know that satisfying feeling when a complex project results in clean, logically structured, and complete electrical documentation?

Would you rather not spend years copying the same machine over and over again, but instead learn about different types of equipment, industries, and customer standards?

Then we might be a good match.

SMART ENGINEERS assists companies with the planning and documentation of electrical systems.

Our projects are very diverse: ranging from mechanical and plant engineering to automation and instrumentation technology, and including fire detection and alarm systems.

We handle projects of all sizes—from minor modifications to existing systems to large-scale and complex EPLAN projects.

We are looking to expand our existing EPLAN team.

We are specifically not looking for someone who can only use EPLAN.

We are looking for someone who understands electrical engineering, thinks proactively, and is willing to take responsibility for their projects.

Your Responsibilities

You will work on electrical engineering projects using EPLAN Electric P8.

Your responsibilities will include, in particular:

  • Creation and Revision of Circuit Diagrams
  • Creation of Terminal Diagrams
  • Preparation of layout plans
  • Creating Cable Lists
  • Creation of bills of materials and other reports
  • Planning and Selection of Electrical Equipment
  • Processing of New Plans
  • Editing Existing Systems and Documentation
  • Implementation of Various Customer Standards
  • Working in accordance with customer-specific CAE guidelines
  • Review of Existing EPLAN Projects
  • technical clarification within the project team
  • Technical coordination with customers as needed
  • Handling technical inquiries from manufacturing, assembly, or commissioning
  • Improving Our EPLAN Standards and Work Practices

Direct contact with customers typically accounts for only a small portion of your work.

Your focus will remain on technical project work.

What You'll Bring to the Table

What matters to us isn't the degree you hold.

What matters most is what you're capable of doing from a technical standpoint.

The following are ideal:

  • Vocational training, technician, master craftsman, or a degree in electrical engineering or a related field
  • several years of practical experience in electrical design
  • Very good knowledge of EPLAN Electric P8
  • a solid understanding of electrical engineering
  • Experience with electrical engineering documentation
  • structured approach to work
  • high standards of quality
  • Initiative
  • Ability to understand complex projects
  • Willingness to independently familiarize yourself with various customer standards
  • Very good knowledge of German

You don't have to be familiar with every one of our industries.

If you have strong technical skills and can quickly familiarize yourself with new systems and standards, that's more important to us.

You'll be a great fit for us if …

… You open a new EPLAN project and want to start by understanding how it’s structured.
… You notice inconsistent equipment labels.
… You want to know why something was designed a certain way.
… You don’t just give up when information is missing.
… You enjoy looking for a better solution.
… You enjoy building a complex project in a clean, organized way.

In short:
We're looking for someone who not only uses EPLAN but also enjoys working with it.
