About the role
We are looking for an experienced Application Engineer to join our Energy team and support customers with advanced monitoring and diagnostic solutions for high-voltage electrical assets.
In this role, you will be the technical link between customers, sales, product management, and engineering. You will support the full customer journey: from technical sales discussions and product demonstrations to field testing, system installation, commissioning, training, data analysis, and post-installation support.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in electrical engineering, power systems, high-voltage equipment, or condition monitoring, with practical experience or a strong interest in Partial Discharge diagnostics. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role that combines field work, application expertise, technical communication, and commercial awareness.
Key Responsibilities:
Sales Process Support
* Support sales teams during customer meetings, proposal preparation, product demonstrations, workshops, and technical discussions.
* Help understand customer needs and translate them into suitable technical solutions.
* Explain complex technical topics clearly to both technical and commercial audiences.
* Support the preparation of technical content for proposals, presentations, and customer communication.
Project Delivery & Commissioning
* Support testing and monitoring for high-voltage assets such as transformers, switchgear, cables, and other grid equipment.
* Plan and execute customer site visits, field demonstrations, installations, commissioning, and troubleshooting of monitoring systems.
* Prepare technical reports based on field measurements, monitoring data, or third-party results.
* Deliver customer training on theory, measurement principles, system operation, data analysis, reporting, and asset condition assessment.
* Collaborate with engineering, product management, operations, logistics, and sales to ensure successful project delivery.
General Support & Continuous Improvement
* Contribute to application notes, technical documentation, training materials, case studies, conference papers, and presentations.
* Provide structured feedback from field experience to improve products, applications, and customer support processes.
* Share application knowledge internally.
What's in it for you?
* Competitive salary.
* Lots of traveling, to anywhere across the globe (10 to 30% traveling time, depending on the workload).
* Innovative high-tech, international organization, with lots of growth opportunities.
* The opportunity to work in a cross-functional and interdisciplinary environment.
* A lot to learn and to develop. We stimulate personal development.
Requirements
What we are looking for:
* Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
* Typically, 3–6+ years of experience in electrical systems, applications, testing, diagnostics, or a related technical field.
* Strong problem-solving skills and ability to investigate technical issues in field and customer-facing environments.
* Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics clearly.
* Customer-oriented mindset, professional attitude, and ability to build trust with customers and internal teams.
* Strong business ethics, reliable work approach, and professional personal character.
* Willingness to travel internationally for customer visits, installations, commissioning, training, and events, typically around 30% of the time.
Nice to have:
* Foundational to solid understanding of Partial Discharge theory, measurement techniques, or condition monitoring.
* Experience with high-voltage electrical equipment, substations, grid assets, or industrial power systems.
* Practical experience with PD testing, PD data interpretation.
* Experience with fibre optic sensing, acoustic emission, asset management, condition monitoring, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing, or predictive maintenance.
