Your role :

You will be responsible for the design of electronic boards integrated into our low-voltage circuit breakers.

These products, which were once exclusively electromechanical, now incorporate more and more electronics, leading to a new electric world : solid state breakers developments are under way, which will radically change the game in the way electrical products are designed.

Additionally, these products are critical for the safety of people and goods, leading to high requirements in terms of electronic design.

Your missions :


* New Product Introduction :



* Develop new concepts for electronic devices for electrical installation in the area of protection and control (e.g., for residual current circuit breakers, overvoltage protections, arc fault detection devices...)


* Participate in the creation of product specifications


* Design analogue and digital circuits (from schematics to components selection and testing), including the associated driver firmware


* Create test specifications and participate in the development tests


* Validate engineering samples and products as well as support the test laboratory with certification and the documentation of the development



* All along the Products lifecycle :



* Implement necessary design improvements or updates


* Update documentation: ensure that all technical documentation, user manuals, and support materials are updated to reflect any changes or improvements made to the product


* Support Continuity: ensure that customers continue to receive support for a defined period, even after the product is no longer being sold.

This includes providing spare parts, technical support, helping with troubleshoot issues, and software updates if applicable


* Sustainability Initiatives: incorporate sustainable design practices and materials to minimize environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.

You will collaborate closely with Electronics industrialization teams, PCB manufacturers and end-assembly plants within Europe.
