Job description
Power Systems Engineer
What will you do as a Power Systems Engineer?
As a Power Systems Engineer, you are responsible for designing variable drives for maritime and offshore projects to meet the functional requirements of the client.
Working on power systems projects means contributing to hybrid ship systems, such as ferries, tugboats, and firefighting vessels. Hybrid installations are also increasingly common on various workboats (e.g., crane vessels), utilizing batteries and/or capacitors to optimize energy sources.
In addition to Power Management Systems (PMS) and Energy Management Systems (EMS), many other onboard systems are operated via a Distributed Control System (DCS). For all these systems, we also develop Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) that allow operators to control the ship’s systems.
Smaller projects may involve programming controls for hydraulically or electrically powered systems like winches, jacking, or skidding systems.
