About the role
As an Electrical Safety Specialist, you will step into a pivotal technical specialist role within our client’s R&D organization. In this position, you will work closely with product development teams, testing engineers, manufacturing personnel, and external certification bodies. Your core focus will be to identify electrical safety risks early in the development lifecycle, define effective risk-reduction measures, and ensure that all technical solutions are thoroughly documented. You will work extensively with electrical cabinets, cabling, electric motors, and safety risk assessments, applying your meticulous nature and understanding of both electrical systems and mechanics to prevent late-stage redesigns and ensure products are safe and market-ready.
In this role, you act as the vital bridge between practical engineering design and regulatory compliance. You will interpret complex safety standards-such as IEC/EN 60204-1, UL 1740, NFPA 79, and the EU Machinery Regulation-and translate them into actionable engineering requirements for development teams. You will join a specialist group of around 25 colleagues within a broader R&D department (which also includes a strong team of mechanical designers), giving you a broad cross-functional reach. Your daily work will combine analytical assessments, reviewing electrical schematics and layouts, and representing the company during internal and external audits and certification processes.
