Systems Electrical Engineer

Turbomachinery power systems

We are looking for a systems electrical engineer to contribute to the electrical design and installation of our micro gas turbine and turbomachinery systems, from 10 kW to 1 MW.

  • Liège, Belgium
  • 10 kW to 1 MW
  • Master’s degree
  • 3+ years
  • English
  • Travel in Europe

MITIS designs, integrates and installs complete energy systems built around micro gas turbines and other turbomachinery for decentralized, efficient and low-emission energy production. Within the engineering team, you will be responsible for the electrical side of each system, from the single-line diagram to commissioning on the customer’s site.

What you will do

  • Define the electrical architecture of complete systems: high-speed generator, power electronics (rectifier/inverter, DC bus), auxiliaries, protection, and connection to the grid or to the customer’s installation, including island and grid-parallel operation.
  • Produce and maintain the electrical design documentation: single-line diagrams, schematics, cabinet layouts, cable and I/O lists, load-flow, short-circuit and selectivity calculations.
  • Specify and select components, and work with suppliers and panel builders: converters and drives, switchgear, transformers, protection relays, sensors and cabling.
  • Ensure compliance with standards and grid codes (for example IEC 60204-1, IEC 61439, local low-voltage installation rules, EN 50549 and DSO connection requirements) and contribute to CE marking and risk assessment.
  • Integrate the electrical system with controls and safety (PLC, safety chain, communication to the customer’s systems) together with the controls team.
  • Prepare, supervise and take part in installation, testing and commissioning (FAT/SAT) on customer sites, and support troubleshooting during operation.
  • Act as the electrical point of contact for customers, installers, certification bodies and grid operators.
  • Feed field experience back into our standard designs so the systems are simpler to install, safer and more reliable.

Your profile

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (power and energy systems), or equivalent experience.
  • Three or more years in the electrical design, installation and commissioning of industrial or energy equipment: CHP, gensets, drives, renewable or storage systems, or turbomachinery.
  • Solid background in power electrical systems: low-voltage distribution, protection and selectivity, earthing, power quality, integration of power electronic converters, EMC cabling, and communication protocols (CAN, RS485, 4–20 mA).
  • Working knowledge of the relevant standards: IEC/EN machinery and installation standards, and grid connection rules.
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites, mainly in Europe.
  • Fluent in English. French is a strong asset.

Strong assets

  • Experience with high-speed electrical machines, grid-tied inverters or CHP grid connection.
  • Experience with an electrical CAD tool such as EPLAN, SEE Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical or similar.
  • Electrical work qualifications, for example BA4/BA5 in Belgium or an equivalent, and a driving licence.

How you work

  • Hands-on and pragmatic, as comfortable on site as behind a desk.
  • Structured and rigorous, with a strong safety mindset.
  • Communicative, and at ease with customers and subcontractors.
  • Autonomous, with a real sense of ownership for your projects.
  • A team player, eager to share knowledge.

What we offer

  • A varied, hands-on role combining system design and field projects, on systems from 10 kW to 1 MW.
  • Real ownership of the electrical engineering of complete systems, from concept to commissioning.
  • A dynamic and stimulating work atmosphere within an agile organization.
  • An attractive salary package.
